When researching for hotel options, I always look into several things, from location, reviews, price, rating, etc. I selected Art City hotel because it had a very good price and the location is convenient, however, I was not quite certain about the amenities because there were mixed comments in the other reviews, so I decided to give it a chance.
Allow me to share my views on the place:
THE PLUS
- Great location: there are nice restaurants around the area, grocery shops, there's also coffee shops. Walking distance (5 min) you can get to the Blue mosque and from there Hagia Sofia and other places. Also, you can get the tram close to the hotel and move to other areas. The location is the highlight of this hotel.
- Good service: Rashad was the person in charge of the main counter, he was able to organize pick-up/drop-off at the airport. He was easy to communicate with and he gave us good advice of places to go and things to do. He was willing to help and showed a great attitude towards our group.
Price: it was good price for 3 rooms for 4 people, specially because of the location.
THE BAD
Amenities: No elevator, and being on the 4th floor made it hard to take the luggage. The walls were too thin so you can hear people in the other rooms.
I would say the hotel is good cause you get great location for low price, but the rooms are not too fancy if that is what you are looking for. However, the hotel crew will do their best to be nice to you.
