How we score
Each score is worked out by code from the facts this page shows, never from guests’ ratings or a writer’s opinion, and is given as 1 to 5 dots.
Near the sights: how close the nearest listed sight is, and how many are within 1 km. Rooms: the room sizes we show and how many types there are. Facilities: how many kinds the hotel lists (dining, pool or spa, fitness, front desk services, comfort and access). Families: whether children are welcome, and family rooms, a kids’ club or pool, a playground, babysitting. Wellness: spa, hammam, sauna, steam room, pools, gym and massage.
A score is left out when the hotel’s facts are too few to judge it.

A restaurant, a bar and room service
The hotel has a restaurant and a bar, and room service as well, so eating in the evening does not depend on going out. Family rooms are part of the room range rather than an afterthought, which fits the hotel's Sultanahmet family trade. An airport shuttle is available for a fee.
Check-in from 14:00, no pets, no parking
Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 11:00. Children are allowed, so families can take any of the family rooms. Pets are not allowed. The hotel has no parking, which matters to anyone arriving by car.
Who the Ararat Hotel suits
Couples and small groups after a Sultanahmet address a tenth of a kilometre from the Sultan Ahmed Mosque will find the doubles and triples fit the purpose. Families are well served: children are allowed one of which sleeps up to 4.
It does not suit travellers with pets, or anyone needing parking. Anyone who wants generous space for two should note that the smallest double is 10 m²; the view doubles at 13 and 15 m² give a little more room.
