The Artisan Istanbul MGallery

It's a Good 4 star hotel offering all the expected amenities, and maintains good cleanliness. It has a nice lobby with a waiting area, a library and a bar area. The rooms are spacious and the furnishing is good. Bathroom amenities are also good. The breakfast spread has lot of options, and the terrace restaurant has a great view of Bosporus. Only few rooms facing Bosporus have a great view, rest of them face the front street or a Hotel building behind. Location of the hotel is a Big Plus because of the connectivity it offers. It's located on an inclining road connecting Kabatas and Taksim (near Dolmabahce palace and the football Stadium). So basically, You are easily connected with the whole Istanbul just by using public transport. (Check Map) You can walk uphill for 7-8mins to Taksim square. Or take those garden stairs downhill, to reach Kabatas in 4-5 mins. Kabatas is like the main station for Trams, Metros, Ferries and Buses going all over Istanbul. Taksim similarly is another great connectivity option. So it's Great for tourists and people on business trips. There are supermarket\stores, medical stores, cafes, restaurants and pubs in buildings adjacent to the hotel, for any quick needs. Parking is available, but is limited, so informing the hotel in advance would be a good idea. Staff is professional and helpful. For the first time visitors or people who prefer to walk, Istanbul is located on hilly areas, so Incline/Decline streets are everywhere. A comfortable pair of shoes is a must.

Receptionist and other staff were very friendly and helpful. Beautiful view of the Bosphorus Strait and surrounding area from the restaurant.

Very excellent hotel experience. Hotel rooms were very clean and comfortable. Beautiful art work in the lobby, fine attention to detail. Room service was the best. Truly amazing staff with high professionalism who worked tirelessly with the highest standards. Special thanks to Suat and Tuna for their tireless work. Breakfast was great with lots of options, served in a very nice restaurant incredible view of Istanbul and Bosphorus. Excellent WiFi connectivity. Location was good as well. Quiet area with no road noises but within walking distance to Taksim square, the M2 and T1 metro lines. I would highly recommend this hotel and would definitely book with them again.

Location is near kabatas tram Station and kabatas ferry . I arrived at sabiha airport, took tram to kadikoy, from kadikoy took ferry to kabatas. Hotel is across the road from kabatas ferry terminal but up hill so walked towards dolmabache park and took stairs up. The total travel time from airport to hotel was approx 1 hr and 45 minutes but If one doesn't have luggage it is fun and cost effective. It cost me around 44 tl otherwise cab was approx 700 tl and take 1 hour from airport to hotel. Kabatas tram goes to old istanbul , grand bazar, galata port. Dolmabache palace is just at 5 minutes walk, taksim is at 15 minutes walk. So all main attractions are easy to reach. Hotel staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are cleaned and all toiletries are environment friendly.

Warm reception, professional service, spacious modern room and facilities. Breakfast is exceptional, don’t miss it!A wide range of cold dishes at buffet plus a la carte included in the price.
