We visited this hotel in November 2024. The hotel is old, the renovation was a long time ago. But it is relatively clean, cleaning is daily. A general cleaning would not hurt (very dusty curtains). The hotel needs cosmetic repairs.
Breakfast is on the roof, the view from there is wonderful! But there is nothing to eat at breakfast, there is nothing hot. But there is coffee (so-so), Turkish tea (delicious). The staff is quite friendly. One day there was no water (no!!! neither cold nor hot). In general, it's fine, we walked all day, we only spent the night at the hotel.
The hotel corresponds to 4 stars. Almost in the center of Taksim district. The location is very good, 1.5 km to the Galata Bridge, it is easy to go to it because from the hill, it is more difficult to go back. And in general, there are many places to go on foot from the hotel. The room is small, but clean and comfortable enough. The room has everything you need, hair dryer, shampoo, gel (they smell delicious by the way) mini fridge. I did not like the shower room without a door combined with a toilet. Water is on the floor all the time after washing (minus a star for this). Breakfast is on the 8th floor, the view from the terrace is beautiful, atmospheric. The breakfasts are the same every morning, but everything is delicious and edible. I am quite happy with the hotel, because I was not going to sit in it, but to walk around Istanbul. By the way, the price through the tour operator turned out to be much cheaper than through Yandex travel☝️
We took a room from Saturday to Sunday. Room 301 is very noisy and you can hear loud music from the club, cars and conversations. It's so loud, as if you're right in the club, only in the toilet. Everything else is fine, the breakfast is not bad. But this hotel is not suitable for sleeping.
