My wife and twin 8 yr old boys stayed for 4 days at Artefes. The most amazing part of the stay was the morning breakfast in the restaurant on the top floor, with a view overlooking the whole city and sea of Marmara. It really got the day started just right. We weren't in the hotel most of the day... More

Dirty carpets and reception, total lack of professionalism from the staff, rooms in a pitiful state (they'll try to put you in the worse ones first) those are the words to describe this hotel from which i excpected much better.

This is a nice small hotel located just blocks away from the Blue Mosque & Aye Sophia. More than the hotel or its breakfast, what we liked the most was the hospitality of the staff and its Manager (Mr. Murat). Murat made sure that we had an enjoyable vacation and took care of anything and everything. We stayed there for... More

We stayed at the Artefes Hotel for 6 nights, from 27 Dec, spending the New Year in Istanbul with a group of friends. The hotel is in a great location, within walking distance to most all of the must-see places in the city, and also close to numerous good restaurants and only 20-30 minutes from Ataturk Airport.

We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights at the end of Sept. 2011. The weather is perfect for vacation. Sunny but cool. We arrived Istanbul from Malaysia in the early morning. Although, our check in time is around 2.00pm, the Hotel was kind enough to allow us to check-in at 9.00 am without any extra charge. Although the room... More

Hotel because of its friendly management team led by Murad. He and his team run all day to make sure hotel residents have all they need. The hotel provides also excellent breakfast with great varieties and beautiful view of black sea. I recommend this hotel. More
