The stay was perfect! The location is about a 5 minute walk to the strip and entrance to grand bazar. The rooms are spacious and clean. The staff are extremely friendly and always help you in ensuring your stay is the best. This was my second time staying there. Also, they have the cutest dog who sits outside the hotel, his name is Milo and he is the friendliest dog ever.

Perfect for our family trip
My three sons and I stayed from 21-30 August and had a wonderful time. The location was ideal, close to all the main attractions and yet hotel itself was a quiet and relaxing. Our room was clean, cool and comfortable. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful with the kids. We will definitely be back on our next trip.

We loved Artika.The manager Salee was super helpful, respectful and friendly. We had the room right next to reception and it was great. He thought it less premium than the upper floors, but for us it was perfect. The hotel is clean and well kept, the kitchen staff lovely, the position near shops, restaurants and the main tourist sites of Sultanhmet excellent. We also appreciated there always being a staff manager on the desk, or outside chatting. Milo the Akita doggie who lives across the street is a sweet boy who always greeted us as we returned.
