Access is difficult, finding food is difficult for the hotel position in the valley. The uphill terrain is very difficult to pass, especially if you carry a suitcase.

The Art City Hotel is kind of my favorite place to stay in Istanbul, especially if you're backpacker with low budget. You can get the room with classic vibes like I did and I couldn't stop from being amazed by their room interior. I stayed here for one night only but if I could add more nights here, I will definitely do so. The room was clean, bed was so much comfortable (I like the pillow), the bathroom is wide and they provide hot water as well (Savior in winter), they also provide shampoo, towel and gel soap. I had late check in and the staff was so friendly. Also, for the location, this hotel is at Fatih area and extremely close to touristy places such as Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. For me, it's quite peaceful here.The hotel is walkable from Cemberlitas tram station (T1) and lots of restaurants nearby. The price was affordable and what I got was beyond expectation. For best experience in staying here, I recommend you to take room at 4th floor with sea view. It was worth every pence. It was great experience for me to stay here. Surely will be back here if I visit Istanbul and will definitely recommend this to my friends.

Good service, but the warm water does not work.
