The hotel has a great location-within walking distance of most of the attractions. The hotel is not new, but with its own unique atmosphere. The rooms are clean (the cleaning here is generally super), the hair dryer is powerful, the air conditioner is working. We were lucky with the view from the window (above the main entrance). There was no street noise in the room with the windows closed. On the 6th floor, with a beautiful view of the Bosphorus and with seagulls outside the window, breakfasts were held in the cafe. The food is monotonous, but in general you can find something for yourself. Coffee from the coffee machine, eggs, cheese, bread, jams, cereals, etc. The staff is very polite, pleasant, they responded to all requests with a smile.
We were in December 2024-January 2025 for the new year. I liked the hotel, the room has good old wooden furniture, it's clean, the room is cleaned every day, soap accessories are replenished, linen is clean. The breakfasts are monotonous, the main thing every day is to take something not all at once, one thing at a time, then it doesn't work out. eggs, olives, etc. types, pastas, jams. jam, no baking, there were always apples from fruits, tangerines were caught twice. The hotel is close to the main attractions, and the Galata Bridge is 10-15 minutes away on foot. There is also an Egyptian market nearby.
The ideal location for a tourist visiting Istanbul for the first time. Attractions, transport interchange, markets, theaters, restaurants, cafes for every taste. At the same time, it is a calm, quiet place, far from roads and round-the-clock life.
