The hotel is lovely, small and very cozy, comfortable rooms with good beds and everything you need. I lived in a room with a balcony, the side view of Hagia Sophia was pleasing in the morning and evening. One thing was missing a bit - a large mirror in the room, a mirror only in the bathroom. The hotel has an excellent location in the center, on a quiet street, near the tram and metro, Sultan Ahmet Square can be reached at a leisurely pace in 5-7 minutes, Gulhane Park is also a 5-minute walk away.
The breakfasts are varied and very tasty (there is something to compare), almost every day there is something new at breakfast, there were always fresh fruits or berries in the morning, a good filter coffee, rolls, cheese and much more.
The main advantage of the hotel is its staff. Special thanks to Iroda (Ira) for her care, warmth and hospitality. And, of course, Dmitry for his help, tips and good mood.
I will definitely come back again!
In general, the hotel is 3 stars, fulfills its main goals: to spend the night, to eat.
The location is wonderful - in the European historical center - there are many cafes, attractions and shops around.
The rooms are clean, though a little beaten up by life, there is air conditioning, a TV (there is TNT in Russian), a kettle, a hairdryer, a lot of outlets. Upon arrival, we were given drinking water, shampoo, coffee and tea. Regarding the cleaning, we had a slightly strange situation - the room was not cleaned for the first two days (although we left for the whole day), on the second day we approached the administrator, everything was sorted out, since then the room has been cleaned every day.
As they correctly said in other reviews about food, you will not stay hungry. Breakfast buffet - cold appetizers, salads, fruits, two types of hot (not always meat), breakfast cereals, coffee, tea, juice, water, desserts - 8 types (buns, donuts, cakes).
I was on vacation with my friends from April 18-24. We were very satisfied with the hotel itself - the location is close to many attractions (walking distance), shops and cafes nearby, a clean room, cleaning every day!!! Good and delicious breakfasts. Special heartfelt thanks to the staff - Ira for her warmth and responsiveness (for any question and request), fed us late at night upon arrival from the airport (there was a flight delay), to the manager Dmitry for his help in navigating Istanbul and interesting conversations - this is a big plus when there are people in an unfamiliar country who speak the same language as you. I recommend the hotel to visit, I would like to choose it again! Good luck!!!
