It was my first time in Istanbul, so I chose a hotel closer to the main attractions. For such a bustling city, the hotel is located on a relatively quiet street in Sultanahmet district!
We stayed at the hotel from 31.10 to 3.11.24
Attractions.
Historical sights such as Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia Cathedral, the underground Cistern Basilica reservoir and the Blue Mosque are within a 3-5-minute walk.
Public transport is also 3-5 minutes away. We reached Beyoglu district (Galata Tower, Istiklal) by tram, the nearest stop is Gulhane. Vesnegiler Metro Station is a 20-minute walk past the Grand Bazaar.
The staff at the hotel is very friendly and friendly, they will tell you everything (there are Russian speakers).
A deposit of $ 100 is charged upon check-in, but we were not charged.
We arrived at the hotel at 10 a.m., the room was given immediately. We lived in room 105 - small, but with everything we need. Air conditioning, clothes hangers, safe, 2 bottles of water per day,
tea station, minibar (paid), Wi-Fi.
In the bathroom: towels (2 bath towels, 2 small ones, 1 for feet), hair dryer, shower stall, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, cotton swabs, discs, nail file, comb, toothpaste + brush, shaving kit. Slippers, and a bathrobe were provided upon request.
Our window looked out onto a passing street. When choosing a room, please note that the hotel has rooms without a view, this is when the wall of the neighboring building is opposite the window, at a distance of 1 meter.
Room cleaning and towel change every day. It can be seen that the towels are already old, gray, but clean.
The BREAKFASTS are excellent from 7.30 to 10.30: soup, boiled eggs, omelette, lots of greens, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheeses, olives, yoghurts, pancakes, fruits, dried fruits, tea, coffee. There is no porridge) The waiters quickly clean the dirty tables, there are always places.
The hotel has a free hammam and sauna, but we did not use it.
The only drawback is the sound insulation, conversations in the next room are perfectly audible.
In general, the hotel left only pleasant impressions!
Great hotel!
The perfect location- we walked everywhere using offline maps.
A very good breakfast buffet: three types of egg dishes, oatmeal, corn, pancakes, vegetables, fruits, many types of cheese, cold cuts, olives, olives, pastries, coffee machine, tea, lemonade, cheese sticks, vegetable stew, sausages, baked potatoes. I didn't get bored in 5 days)
The staff was friendly, although they didn't speak much Russian, they were able to explain themselves anyway.
There is a small gym, but it has everything you need.
Upon arrival, they offered 2 rooms to choose from: one higher on the floor, but facing the wall of the building, and the other on the 1st floor (they consider the 2nd floor to be the first) facing the street. We chose the one that faced the street and did not regret it. We slept great, the call to prayer or the seagulls didn't wake us up at all.
Of course, the audibility is high, the neighbors can be heard, but we were probably lucky, they weren't noisy.
Cosmetics and towels were changed every day.
We cleaned the room every day.
I can safely recommend the hotel. We also went on the recommendation of friends)
The hotel is well located, within walking distance of historical attractions. The staff is friendly and helpful, easily solves any questions that arise. The rooms are clean, cozy, and cleaned every day. A good breakfast. The price includes a SPA sauna, hammam and gym. There are tram and metro stops nearby, which allows you to quickly get to any part of the city. I really liked the hotel, I would like to visit it more than once.
