We have stay here twice, on our trips to Turkey. This time we also visited Istanbul. The rooms are big! The kids sleep in the front room on a fold out bed with TV. The hotel is very clean with very nice linens. The kids love the nightly cookies and milk, and breakfast is great. Also this hotel close to... more

Small hotel room, adequate but not tiny, bathroom again small but not impossible, rates fair, breakfast upstairs nice, staff friendly, one internet computer in lobby more

We really enjoyed our stay at Artfes...the location was really good and near to the main sighting of Istanbul. The hotel's rooms were clean and tidy, the view on the roof top was breathtaking and very romantic. The staff were helpful they did make some calls for us when we needed help, and they speak good English. The best thing... more

Just returned from Istanbul and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel! The staff is very friendly and always smile. The hotel looks dingy from the outside yet once you enter it becomes quite charming. The room is nothing to rave about with its outdated furnishings and décor…very 1960’s! It is however, clean and the water pressure is good. Our... more

The hotel is about 10 minutes away from the historic center (you need to take a tramor cab), very... more

We were my fiancee, her sister and I, and we stayed from Oct 06th to Oct 11th in a triple room for 99 Euros per night. Like many others have pointed out, the rooms are good but basic. A little mold in the showers, but otherwise good. Also, the breakfast is solid and is served ontop of the hotel, with... more

The Artefes was the only hotel which appeared on both our hotel choices list and that of a travel agent friend, so having read the comments on here we made a booking. The location is tremendous, being within easy walking distance of all the main sights of Sultanhamet, yet in a quiet, mostly residential street with very little traffic and... more
