The hotel is wonderful! It is located within walking distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, but on a quiet street. We had a room on the top floor with a balcony overlooking the city and mosques. Every morning, seagulls greeted us at the window, we fed them, made friends, and the same seagull family saw us off and greeted us.
The breakfast buffet is modest, but everything is fresh, there are almost all traditional European and Turkish products, I can highlight delicious cheese and bread.
Since the hotel is located in the very historical center, it was interesting to learn that the hotel was built on the remains of an old Byzantine palace. In the basement (where breakfast is held), and in some places on the higher floors, ancient walls have been preserved, which can be seen through glass. Despite the small size of the hotel, its interior is very beautiful, decorated in a classic style, a cozy lobby with sofas and carpets. It's nice to come back after the noisy streets and busy excursions. I recommend it!
We had a rest with a friend at the hotel from February 23 to February 28. We had a standard room on the 2nd floor. With a small view of the Blue Mosque. It's quite a decent hotel. Yes, the bathroom is tired, but overall everything is fine. The mattress and pillow are comfortable, and the bed linen is good. The room was warm, we opened the battery. Then they closed it when it got warmer. The breakfast was always the same. I got scrambled eggs and vegetables. Delicious. The location of the hotel is gorgeous - you could walk to Hagia Sophia and all the sights. There was a tram stop and the Bosphorus Bay nearby. We went down to the social canteen and the Borek cafe to eat homemade food for the locals. The rest of the restaurants were very expensive. Overall, I liked the hotel. I would have stopped again.
The location is not bad in principle. It is close to two large mosques, the T1 tram stop and many outdoor cafes. There are few decent shops nearby, chain stores are quite small.
The hotel itself is not bad, not crowded.
We took the superior room, the window facing the street from the entrance, there is no special view, the neighbors opposite are clearly visible. The Internet caught well closer to the front door of the room, near the bed is average.
The room was a good size, tea set, refrigerator, it was clean.
The breakfast was not very varied, but we were not hungry. You can survive a week normally.
