Great location.

Great place walking distance to the major sites and the tram. Good breakfast. A little noisy from outside noise but you are in the city. Very poor shower water pressure. For the price point and location I would definitely recommend this place.

Never disappoints!

I returned after several previous stays at the Hotel Artefes and am so happy that I did! Lovely, spacious, and very clean room; excellent location; delicious breakfast; and best of all the kind and helpful staff. My friend lost a purse with cash, and they miraculously got it back to her. Above and beyond! Thank you, Salman and Tarik! I hope to return soon.

8/10 Very good

Overall, I was happy with my stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the location was great and the free breakfast with a view was a plus. Three areas of improvement: I wouldn’t liked to have had a light blanket provided instead of just a sheet. The above shower head didn’t work and the handheld shower piece didn’t fit into the holder, so I had to either hold it with one hand and wash my hair with the other, or try to balance it so I could use two hands to wash my hair, but then it would always fall. Also, the TV didn’t work. I would’ve liked to have caught up on some news.

Hôtel très bien situé a 2 pas de la Mosquée bleue et de Sainte Sophie, dans un quartier vivant. Le petit déjeuner était copieux mais manquait de fruits. Le rooftop offre une très belle vue sur la Bosphore. Je recommande cet hôtel pour y passer quelques jours.

2/10 Poor

I stayed at Artefes Hotel Old City in 4July 2025 for 5 nights. The only positive thing was its location — close to the sea and tourist sites in Sultanahmet. Everything else was truly disappointing. The breakfast was terrible. Every single day, it was exactly the same poor-quality items. Since we couldn’t eat boiled eggs, we asked for an omelet or fried eggs, but they rudely said “we don’t have that.” The bread was dry, and some vegetables were clearly spoiled. When we complained, the staff replied, “Well, you didn’t pay for breakfast,” which was absolutely false — we had booked a room with breakfast. The room was tiny, awkwardly designed, and the TV was mounted sideways, not even facing the bed. It was hard to move around the room without hitting the walls or the shower. The elevator was also extremely small — just for one person. There was no real lobby — nowhere to sit, relax, or have a coffee or tea after coming in from outside. The customer service was weak and the staff had a cold and uninterested attitude. It didn’t feel like hospitality at all. Overall, I deeply regret choosing this hotel. It’s nothing like what they advertise and I would not recommend it to anyone Abbas Naserbakht

4/10 Fair

Schöne Aussicht von der Dachterrasse. Sehr hellhörige Zimmer. Frühstuckauswahl nicht ausreichend. Gute Lage, viele Sehenswürdigkeiten, Bazar, Straßenbahn zu Fuß erreichbar. Allgemein, der erste Eindruck vom Hotel war ausreichend und die erste Nacht, wie am Bahnhof wg. hellhörigen Wänden. Nachdem ich mich beschwert habe, haben wir ein anderes Zimmer bekommen, auf einem anderen Stockwerk und am Ende des Ganges, dort war es viel ruhiger.
