Me and my husband were first time visitors of Istanbul. We did not have much time to stay, so the main attractions for us to visit were Ayasofya, Blue Mosque and The Grand Bazaar. With that being said-we needed a place to stay that is kinda close to everything. Since we did not know anything in Istanbul-we had to do some research. At the end-we chose Hotel Artika to be our shelter for a little bit. Little did we know-we found the PERFECT place to stay! The location is absolutely great! 10 minutes from all of the locations that I mentioned above. The staff couldn’t be friendlier. Their English is not great-but it’s enough for them to be beyond helpful! Since we arrived pretty early-they let us check in earlier, as soon as our room was ready, AND, they welcomed us with tea. The room was modern, quiet and clean. They offer breakfast , and also let us use their phone to call the bus station.
I would recommend this place to anyone who would like a great stay, and even greater location.
Five stars from me, for sure! 👌🏻
