“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.”

The hotel breakfast buffet offered good options. I ate well every morning! The hotel location is near major monuments, what more could I want? Staff were very friendly and helpful too! I'd stay again, and I'd recommend it to friends.
The room size was smaller than expected. This made it difficult to unpack and organize my belongings. A larger room would have been much better for my stay.
