What guests think
Across recent reviews, Artefes Hotel Old City stands out for its central Sultanahmet location within easy walking distance of major sights, generally friendly staff, and a popular rooftop terrace offering city and sea views with breakfast or coffee.
Rooms are often small or dated, with occasional maintenance problems, thin walls or outside noise, and some reports of weak water pressure or patchy Wi-Fi, though a few larger sea-view options exist. Cleanliness is frequently praised, but a handful of guests noted lapses or lingering odors. Breakfast draws many compliments yet several guests found it repetitive or lacking fruit, and a few criticized quality or strict cut-off handling. Expect a straightforward base with great views and variable comforts.
