Constructed between 1609 and 1616, the striking Sultan Ahmed Mosque – or ‘Blue Mosque’ – is still a place of worship today. With no war victories to fund it, this opulent structure had to be paid for straight from the treasury – angering the Ottoman legal scholars of the time! Non-Muslim visitors are encouraged to visit, but should be respectful of the strict dress code.

“I kindly recommend this property. The patron named Murad is a guy who is very lucky and helpful. He promptly responded to all our requests. The hotel is just 200 meters from the Blue Mosque, in a quiet area with shops and terraces nearby. In the apartment you have everything you need. Although many complain that they have not found the property, I have introduced the GPS data and came first. I will come back with pleasure.”
“It is a excellent ratio of qulity and price for turists who want to expolore historic Istanbul and don't want to sit in hotels all day long. It was the second time that we stayed in the Artefes. And we will recommend it to our friends. Our special mark is for beautiful terrace on the roof where you can see the Blue Mosque, the Marmara sea and Istanbul from the height.”
“Not only it is in the absolute best spot of Istanbul - the Cistern, Haya Sofya, Blue Mosque are at literally 3min walkING, but the staff is like our family and really makes you feel at home.
Will not go to any other hotel even if the city is 15 million people big!!
Absolutely beautiful!
Thank you again”
“The location was within walking distance of several city buses, and "The Big Bus Tour Bus." It as also a 12-15 minute walk to the tram station Kabitas. The hotel is located near many restaurants and bars in a trendy area of Istanbul.
The major attractions are only a 25-30 minute distance from the hotel by public transport (Blue Mosque, Haya Sofia, Bascillica Cistern, Grand Bazaar).
The breakfast buffet was good overall, it could use some more variety.”
“The hotel is situated in the central part of Istanbul, close to the most popular places like Blue Mosque or Haya Sofiya. The staff is friendly, rooms are quite simple but clean.”
