A wonderful hotel.
The location is very convenient - 2 steps from the subway, which is already somewhere.
The room is of sufficient size. A huge comfortable bed. A good conder. Tea station + water.
Clean modern bathroom without dampness, as in many hotels in Istanbul. There are slippers. There are no bathrobes.
Cleaning every day.
By the noise, you can't hear anything from the street with the window closed. Neighbors can be heard if they speak loudly. But not in a way that interferes with sleep.
The breakfast is wonderful: omelette, menemen, boiled eggs, 3 types of ham, lots of cheeses, toast, vegetables, fruits (watermelon, peeled oranges), yogurt, cereals, vegetables, greens, vegetable salads, olives, sausages, French fries with balls, sou burek, more pastries with cheese.
their trick is that they bake traditional pastries themselves - simits and several more types + 2 cupcakes + they make jams themselves, well, very tasty. Its own pastries are under heated lamps and this leaves them warm and crispy all morning.
Hardware coffee, black tea (the Turkish husband praised the tea very much), juices (I did not try it), sassi water (I tried it, good).
In the restaurant, and in general, the staff always reacted quickly to some of our requests (to change the plate, bring something to the room, call a taxi, order food from the restaurant). It is clear that they are trying and are very attentive to the little things.
The biggest advantage for us was the late check-out. Since we had a plane at 2 a.m. and it was record heat outside, a late check-out was an excellent option for us. I didn't have to pay for a full night for an additional 10 hours in the room.
For the July 2024 weekend, the room cost $150 a day.
Among the advantages: courteous staff, delicious and varied breakfast, 300 meters to Taksim Square. Cons: the Wi-Fi is dead, the room is cold in winter, and it is not possible to set up the heating system (remote control on the wall, air duct in the ceiling)!!! Turned on, it rattles like an old diesel engine, it's impossible to sleep. To dial at least + 20 in the room, you need to put at least +25 on the control!!! Since it is not capable of giving such a temperature, it will rattle! Or turn it off and freeze. Out of jokes. Check-in at 2 p.m. We arrived at 4 p.m. They told me to wait, like the room was being cleaned. We check in, there are cups on the table, covered with saucers. I take off the saucer, and there's lipstick on the cups from the last tenant! Such cleaning. But perhaps these are isolated cases. However, we didn't like it..
Excellent location: near Taksim Square, all types of transport, attractions within walking distance. The rooms are good, the breakfast is excellent, varied.
