We arrived at 5am and were warmly welcomed by the staff of the Artefes hotel. The turkish tea and coffee were served and we had a chance to enjoy a great view of the sunrise from the terrace of the hotel.

We stayed 5 nights at the Artefes Hotel in March 2012. Our room, a double on the second floor, was not large or fancy, but it was perfectly adequate.

The rooms are quaint and very well maintained in this charming little part of Sultanhamet. It really is centrally located for all tourism sites that anyone would like to see in Istanbul as well as the tram - 3 blocks away! Breakfast was delicious and the staff was incredibly helpful with room arrangements, accommodating extra guests and setting up tour... More

I recommend this hotel if... More

The staff was incredibly helpful to us as we arrived after an early morning flight on a freezing cold January day. They gave us tea, and we were allowed to check in before noon. They also helped with our mixed up airlines reservations, and suggested places nearby to eat. The room was lovely, with pale green walls and gold curtains... More

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. The description on Expedia is extremely misleading. They state rooms have bath thubs - they don't; they state the hotel... More
