Modern hotel, comfortable, no frills, with good walking distance to the sights, to the coastline (Dolmabahce Palace) 30 minutes on foot; metro nearby 5 minutes;
The bathrooms have a good range of accessories; the bedding is snow-white;
The breakfasts are varied, delicious pastries, lots of greens, and there are no meat dishes.
There are relatively well-maintained streets around the hotel; there is a park with a fountain nearby, convenient for morning jogging. Taksim Street is 10 minutes away - noisy, crowded; an abundance of shops, souvenir shops, cafes, verandas, restaurants, etc
The hotel has a spa and a small gym on the ground floor, equipped with basic exercise equipment.
The pool has cool enough water (it was closed for prevention, so they did not use it all the time); a good sauna; the hammam was asked to restart, because it cooled down quickly! Overall, clean, comfortable! You need a hat in the pool!
The staff responded to all requests, although not always promptly, but always friendly and willing to help!
A good four at Taksim Square. It was chosen because it was located near the shuttle stop from the new Istanbul airport. Nearby Taksim Square and the famous Istiklal Street, a metro stop from where you can go anywhere. The hotel is not cheap, a day with breakfast is more than $ 100. It is better to take a higher room, it will be very quiet and the view is excellent. They take a deposit of $ 100, so you expect to lose time at the reception (minimum 7 minutes, maximum 15) when returning it at the check-out. We liked the breakfast, we had enough of everything, hot fried eggs from the cook and various mixtures of vegetables with eggs, mini sausages on marmites. Waiters pour coffee and tea from teapots upon request. Everything is clean and decent. In general, the hotel combines the advantages of a location for transit travelers (shuttle), close to the metro and funicular, to the street Istiklal, while you do not hear the street; good accommodation (comfortable beds, clean shower, always hot water) and a delicious varied breakfast. I've been there twice, and I plan to stop more than once.
The hotel is located in a very populated place called Taksim.
And the hotel is good, the staff is polite, the rooms are clean.
The room has all the soap and bath accessories, there is a mini-bar, everything in it is paid, free water, tea and coffee.
Good breakfasts, we had an early check-out and a Lunch box was prepared for us at the reception.
Of the minuses, I note that the hot water in the shower heats up for a very long time and they tried to write off the funds for the eaten chocolate bar, which we allegedly took in the mini-bar. We didn't pay, and we didn't eat it.
Thank you for your hospitality!
