A wonderful hotel with a gorgeous terrace and views of the Marmara Sea.The staff speaks English.The rooms are good , for small ones .We had a 401 with a French balcony. The breakfasts are good , a woman is sitting next to her and baking gozleme tortillas (until 11:00 am )
The hotel is excellent, in the city center, many attractions can be easily reached on foot.
We need to take non-economy class rooms - they are really small (maximum for one person, my husband and I could not turn around), with a tiny bathroom and poor sound insulation (we constantly had ventilation noise, at some point they turned off at our request, but as the rooftop bar and kitchen begin to work, so everything turns on and makes noise right away).
Take large spacious rooms (35 sq.m.) with balconies overlooking the Bosphorus. These rooms are great. A huge bathroom (you can dance), a bar counter, a coffee maker, an electric kettle, water, coffee capsules, tea bags, a huge illuminated mirror to tidy up your appearance, a huge bed with a comfortable hard mattress, a wide-screen TV and an absolutely stunning balcony-loggia, where there is a glass table and chairs. The view from the balcony is fantastic. And the sound insulation in the room is excellent, you can't hear anything.
The breakfasts at the hotel are wonderful. In the morning, a Turkish woman comes and bakes tortillas with the filling you choose, according to your order, a large selection of fruits, coffee and tea can be ordered and brewed for you.
The hotel staff is wonderful, very polite and friendly, they speak excellent English, there is a Russian-speaking employee. The hotel has exceptionally positive emotions!
I recommend
Apparently, we came across a "small" room with a window on the roadway. But there was more than enough room for two. The mattress is not spring-loaded, very comfortable. The staff is friendly . There is a Jacuzzi in the bathroom, and, most importantly, a hot dryer for things. The plumbing is in good condition. Why I say - then we moved further along the district to a boutique hotel - no dryer (simple things dried for 2 days!), a really small bathroom, the window does not close.. If they knew what would happen, they would have stayed in Amir. Anyway, it's not far to the tram and you can quickly get where you need to go. The hotel is clean. There is a veranda on the roof where you can drink tea and have a snack with a view of the Bosphorus. Breakfast on the ground floor is a small cozy room. There are juices, coffee, tea. There are various additives in yogurt (dried fruits, nuts), traditional cuts of cheese, sausages. Hot omelette, sausages, stewed vegetables. Gozleme can be made with different fillings. The place is good, we walked calmly from the bus stop. There is an exchange nearby. Lots of cafes. If you go down, you can go to the sea and walk in different directions along the promenade. By the way, there are many fish cafes there. Not far from the hotel is a square with an obelisk of Thutmose, a snake pillar, etc. The noise from the street, yes, was. Moreover, at night the workers carried out some noisy repair work on the road under the window, but we decided that it was a matter of chance and..turned over on the other side)))
Beautiful view of the Bosphorus, ships sailing. It's a good place to sit down and relax, look at the strait. There are many attractions nearby within walking distance.
As such, there is no observation deck here. The point stands on the hotel, which has a roof terrace, like many neighboring hotels.
You can look at the sea from the park, walk another 5 minutes.
Poor sound insulation, windows overlooked the roadway, where round-the-clock traffic, furniture was battered, room 102 is very small, the reception is responsive, but those who do not know English will have problems. The plumbing in the room was tired, even the shower was hanging on the wall)
