It was quite acceptable to me. I was attracted first of all, of course, by the price, but not to say that it was downright terrible. I read a lot of comments and at first it was even scary to go)
The location of the hotel is normal, there is a grocery store nearby and a kiosk with various fruits, etc. Of course, the reception staff immediately warned that it was better not to wander around the alley late at night. But I wasn't going to, there weren't any incidents during the rest days.
The number is normal. I had a "Single Room Ensuite". The only thing that really smelled like smoke. For this, I actually took off one star (although I could have taken off everything at once). It's a terrible smell. On the first day, I immediately aired the room, and either the smell became less, or I got used to it later, but in the following days there was no such nightmare. This is a very serious disadvantage of this hotel.
The breakfast is regular, but not a buffet. Everyone has their own breakfast set. It was fine with me, but it might not be enough for someone, because the portions are small and there's not much in there.
I have been to many hotels from 2* to 5 ultra and have never written negative reviews, but this is just terrible!
The rooms are unrealistically small with low ceilings, consider there is no breakfast at all, since the fact that they serve mockery, they feed much better on airplanes. The rooms are dirty and have a disgusting smell. I changed the hotel for the same price next door a day later.
If there is any other option, don't even think about staying here!
I liked the meeting with the hotel staff. The hotel is located a 5-minute walk from Isseklyai Street, a 15-minute walk from the bus station, a bus to New Istanbul Airport departs from nowhere, a 7-minute walk from Taksim Metro station. The old town in general. I liked that the hotel has a rooftop terrace, breakfast. There is a laundry room nearby where you can safely wash your clothes. Although the hotel does not look very good. But I like everything antique. The quality and price are consistent.
