We visited Istanbul in May and stayed at the Artefes. The hotel was excellent and in a great location right by the Blue Mosque and most of the main sites. The Blue Mosque is stunning especially and as a site right up there with the Taj Mahal The hotel staff especially Murat Eryilmaz were extremely helpful both before our visit... More

We walked a lot all over the city and didn't notice creaking wooden floor (beneath our 3rd) and noises from adjacent rooms separated by thin walls in the night/morning. We didn't even hear the first adhan (sorry if I name it wrong) through the open windows. Our friends which stayed on the 2nd floor complained both about noisy neighbours and... More

I traveled to Istanbul for 5 days with my sister for research purposes. So I knew where we were going to go and what we were going to do. We had a plan and most of our visits were in the district of Fatih, and relatively unknown sites, so we couldn't depend on arranged touristic visits for transportation. That is... More

But the hotel is a good one! Breakfast was great, with a sea view to match it. Close to the wonder and off the too-trodden path. Right up my alley! A tip: dinner is best had across the bridge in the Istikal area!

The hotel is so charming for its facade entirely Made of wood. It is located in old Sultanhamet , nestled in a web of narrow cobbled stones streets where most buildings are wooden built and just a few steps away from the Blue Mosque and the other hot spots of Iatambuk. From its terrace on the fourth floor you can... More
