Artefes Hotel Old City

I liked everything. The location was perfect. A walking distance from most attractions. Staff were very friendly. I enjoyed breakfast every morning because the food was very good, but I enjoyed more the welcoming and friendly restaurant staff. They always meet you with a big smile. A big thank you to Mr. Kadir who was always attentive and ready with answers. He also arranged a couple of tours for me for a very good price. I also enjoyed talking with Mr. Salman while I was waiting in the reception area on my last day. Overall, I believe I had a great time and enjoyed my stay at the hotel a lot. I would definitely go back and stay with them if I am ever in Istanbul again.

Outstanding hospitality - Selman was excellent from beginning to end; he actively reached out to me to see if me and my family (7 other people) were making ourselves feel comfortable during our stay. He even reached out to me a couple weeks before our trip! He helped us arrange transport, recommended good restaurants and also suggested some nice places to visit. Extremely convenient location - very close proximity to tourist attractions such as Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Eminönü and Cistern Basilica. Breakfast - good options available, would suggest a few more (and varied) hot food. Otherwise perfect! Overall the hotel was modest looking, but it is the hospitality that made the stay extremely worthwhile.

We enjoyed this hotel, it has the best location - a 10min walk from all the attractions like blue mosque and Hagia Sophia in Sultanahmet area. We walked everywhere easily. There is a wonderful breakfast spread, and you can eat indoors or on the terrace with a great view of the city. You can watch seagulls and the sea every breakfast! The staff were all polite and nice. When this staff in a blue sweater saw us heading up to the terrace to have breakfast, he went up and helped us take photos! Turkish people are really nice.

Lovely helpful staff,perfect location for Saltanamet (Blue mosque , Grand Bazzar, Topkapi etc) We had the suite with views over rooftops to the Bosporus.There is a spacious terrace (we did not use in January)

My family and me really had a wonderful time at Artefes: staff was very kind, always ready to help, either when organizing tours or the transfer to the airport. Breakfast with a wide variety of options and with very good coffee, which we also had the chance to enjoy for free in the evenings from the nice terrasse upstairs. A special mention to the very comfortable beds, essential to get some good rest after our demanding walks along the steep streets of the city. We would gladly stay here again.
