Friendly people willing to give all the information. Especially the receptionist named Kalandar. He speaks Russian and English fluently. Very good buffet for breakfast. Great location. The room with balcony is spacious and comfortable. Beautiful view of the Sea of Marmara!
It's a pretty nice hotel. We had a room with a balcony and sea view (superior). The room has a clean, cute neutral European-style design. Two adjoining rooms, the area is quite small, but it's nice that in addition to the bedroom there is a living room with a sofa (folding). Ventilation and climate control are in order. It's a little noisy with the windows open, because the road is below (between the hotel and the embankment). But the traffic isn't that heavy, and it's pretty quiet with the windows closed. The view of the Bosphorus is magnificent! The room had a kettle and coffee maker, slippers and bathrobes, an iron and ironing board, a hairdryer, shampoo and conditioner, shower gel and body lotion. The staff is wonderfully friendly and helpful. Close to the historical center (10 minutes on foot) and the metro station (5 minutes). They didn't regret their choice and the money they spent. We didn't eat at the hotel, because we took a room without breakfast. In the evening, upon arrival, we looked at the menu of the room service: the assortment seemed meager, and the prices were high. But this is the case for almost all hotels. There are restaurants nearby on the embankment, open from 12 a.m. to night, if you walk to the center for 5 minutes, then there are many different cafes where you can eat from morning to evening.
