The hotel has a very convenient location, very close to the T1 tram stop and historical sites. The area is quiet, there are many establishments in the area, supermarkets.
The rooms and furniture are tired, BUT snow-white fresh linen and a comfortable mattress with pillows!!! The water in the minibar was renewed every day, 2 0.5 bottles each. There were also slippers, shampoo, hair balm and shower gel, a hair cap, soap and cotton swabs. The staff is friendly and helpful. There is a Russian-speaking adminstrator (not much, but you can understand the main points). Although the breakfasts are monotonous, the number of snacks allows you to make variations. We stayed for 4 nights, we liked the room, price =quality
For its price, it's basically a good hotel, but let's start in order!
1. The staff is friendly and will always go to a meeting. He speaks English and someone else speaks Russian, but in my opinion only one employee.
2. Payment. At the booking office, we contacted this hotel and asked how we could pay for the room. They wrote that you can pay by card or cash, they accept dollars, euros and lira. We paid in euros, and the change was made in lira.
3. The number. First, we were put in a room on the 3rd floor. At first it was normal, but then they found a few joints (unfortunately, they didn't take a photo). The first is the small holes in the wall. Secondly, the kettle was not working. Third, the door on the balcony opened and did not close at all. But we asked to change the number and everything was done for us.
The second room was on the 4th floor. There was a bit of cold air blowing near the window, although everything was closed, it was cool in the room, but our air conditioner was on, why was that, the sink was in a strange condition. And most importantly, a shower! The water is barely hot, or rather warm, and the pressure is not very strong, washing your head there is not a thrill at all, plus the hair dryer is bad, thick hair is difficult to dry.
Well, there was dust in some places; the Russian channel was working; tea, slippers, gels and shampoos were available and supplemented, but there was no toothbrush:(
The Wi-Fi is working, but sometimes it turns off, but not critically. It doesn't catch near the window, if anything)
That's probably all about the number. All in all, not bad, comfortable. All these little things are not so noticeable in fact, and they do not spoil the rest.
4. Location. It was a little difficult to find, as you have to go through the cafe, but then (from the second time) you were already without maps. There is a tram nearby (literally 5 minutes on foot), many shops, there is a currency exchange, restrooms.
but! The area is touristy, the prices there are higher than usual. We compared it with a regular supermarket - cookies near the hotel are 30 lire, and in the supermarket they are 15 lire :) So think about it. Plus it's very dirty all around.
There are also two beautiful mosques nearby where you can sit and eat street food in the evening, for example) During the day, you can go there for free (Sultanahmet).
We were impressed! I liked everything! But I think next time he will choose an area that is not so touristy.
It was my first time in Istanbul and I chose a hotel for a long time, I liked this one, everything is fine, the hotel is clean, tidy, cleaned every day, decorated the room with balloons for my birthday ... nice. You can't hear the noise from the street, you go out and you're in the very center where everything is nearby)
