“Artefes Hotel Old City benefits greatly from its location mere steps from Istanbul's historical heart, and I think it's a classic choice for those wanting a deep dive into the city's past; the rooftop terrace, coupled with views from certain rooms, provides a unique perspective. I find the hotel's commitment to accommodating varied dietary needs and its accessible price point especially noteworthy. Its charm lies in warm hospitality and traditional Ottoman decor.”
