We booked a triple room for two to make it more spacious, and to ensure that we get two separate beds.
The room provided to us was on the third floor, climbing a narrow steep spiral staircase, the elevator was not working. The manager who arranged our check-in carried our bags to the room.
In the room: two beds – double and single, respectively two and one pillows. Good mattresses, good white quality bed linen. One-time slippers. Furniture – at least one bedside table for two beds, a large pouf with a drawer, a bedside table with a small refrigerator inside. There is an electric kettle and two glass mugs on the bedside table. There were no tea/coffee bags, etc. A wardrobe, 11 clothes hangers and a spacious top shelf. There is a narrow high mirror on the outside of the cabinet door. There is no table or chairs.
There is a flat–screen TV on the wall. There are many programs, but almost all in Turkish and a few in Arabic. There is nothing in Russian or English, so we didn't watch TV.
A combined bathroom with a good repair, a shower cabin with a flexible hose, a washbasin with a locker and a mirror. Bags of single-use soap and shampoo. Two white terry towels for each living soul, and one common foot towel. Excellent toilet bowl, toilet paper supplies.
The barred window in the room overlooks the courtyard, on the roofs of neighboring buildings, not so beautiful, but quiet, there was no noise from the street. Of course, there was a loud call for prayer five times a day, from all the nearby mosques, but there is no getting away from this in Istanbul. There were good thick curtains on the window.
But outside the window, a television dish was literally dangling on two wires. In strong winds, it literally beat and knocked against the outer wall of the room.
There is a battery under the window, it is cold, but we were heated by air conditioning (split system), it warms perfectly, we regulated the temperature ourselves and it was comfortable. But there is also an annoying factor – a bright blue display indicating the temperature at night brightly illuminated the room. The hum from the internal ventilation system was felt, but it was quite bearable.
Lighting: there are 8 ceiling lights mounted on the ceiling, but only two of them were shining. There were no additional bedside and wall lamps. But there was a good bright light in the bathroom.
The entrance door to the room turned out to be slightly smaller than the doorway, especially at the bottom, at night bright light from the corridor penetrated into the room through the lower slit, it was necessary to lay it with improvised means. I can't stand eye masks, they interfere with sleep, so I had to come up with other ways to save myself.
Breakfast was included in the room rate. There was a small kitchen on the third floor opposite our room. Breakfast was from 8-30 to 10-00. On the table were prepared: sliced bread, margarine and (not always available) butter, jams, French fries, tomatoes, cucumbers, sliced apples and oranges. Olives, cheese, cheese, boiled sausage, boiled eggs. Sometimes shortbread cookies appeared. Instant coffee, milk, black tea from a common teapot. The breakfast tables were on the veranda, which was insulated with polyethylene for the winter. But it was still cool, you had to wear outerwear for breakfast. The potatoes cooled down quickly and became almost inedible.
Cleaning with replacement of towels was carried out every other day, and on the 4th day of our stay, we also changed bed linen and slippers.
We carried the room key with a small keychain with us, we did not need to hand it over.
I would like to note separately: very, very, very helpful staff! The manager Mehmet, our Moldovan nurse Lena, and other hotel staff. Thank them very much!

We stayed at this hotel from October 3rd to 7th. One of the disadvantages is that the elevator did not work on these dates. Otherwise, everything is fine for such a budget. The main thing is clean, the breakfasts are very good, there is heating, hot water, daily cleaning, polite staff. The very responsive owner of Ekrem will always help in any situation. There are many small cafes nearby where you can have lunch for 10-20 liras, Opposite in the building there is a cafe of a health drink. People come here during the day from all points of the city, there are many ancient architectural sights nearby. transfers and taxis can be ordered from Ekrem.

Excellent location , small rooms , a modest breakfast on the outdoor terrace. During the week, they never changed the bed, only towels and did not clean the room, although we asked for it.

Super location. There are no questions for the staff. I was confused by some little things (it was a little cool in the room, the slippers are the cheapest ...)
