Good location in the center of Fatih: all attractions and transport are within walking distance. The hotel is clean, the towels smell a little like chlorine, which means that the linen is being disinfected. The room has a refrigerator, TV, air conditioning - everything worked. The staff speaks Russian, they are very friendly, they will always help with advice. You can book a transfer to the airport or an excursion. The breakfasts are not particularly varied, but you can have a snack. Among the disadvantages: there is a mosque nearby and I woke up early in the morning from prayer, but the children did not hear and slept peacefully. There is no elevator and the stairs are quite steep. Cats also came to our balcony, but this is a common occurrence in Istanbul. The balcony has a very beautiful view of the sea. My daughter came there 2 times, we will also be happy to return.
In general, I liked the hotel.
It is located on a quiet street. Tea and coffee can be drunk around the clock, all this is available at the reception. Wi-fi is decent. The main street of the old town and the Grand Bazaar are just around the corner.
Recommendations:
- if the windows of your room face the street, people smoking and talking at the entrance can interfere at night, someone constantly comes and goes
- your number can be given to others. This is probably a Turkish habit. We have encountered her in other hotels. But for this you can get some kind of bonus here, do not hesitate))
- plumbing in the bathroom may leak, ask to fix it if it bothers, they will fix it quickly if it is technically possible
- if the windows overlook the sea and the terrace, close the windows when you leave, cats can settle with you, they are everywhere here))
