We recently arrived from Istanbul. We had a great rest with my husband. We stayed at this hotel, booked directly without prepayment 👍 for 7 nights 25 thousand rubles. This is a very good price. The receptionists were very friendly. We checked into 301 rooms on the 3rd floor with a balcony facing the street overlooking the port and the sea. 1 double bed. The room is generally normal. Of course, there are some points, but we don't find fault. The noise is certainly bad. The pillows are very uncomfortable and hard, but they were replaced without any problems. We liked the breakfasts. There is a great view on the terrace, a seagull sits every morning. The hot stuff was changed every day, but otherwise there are enough eggs, olives, vegetables, herbs, cheeses, etc. This hotel has a good location, we walked to the prices, but you can also take the tram
there is a bus stop nearby. The metro is 5 minutes away. The Marmara train is also nearby. We mostly walked to Sultanahmet Square. For 20-25 with pleasure. I recommend the hotel. For that kind of money, it's super. I don't think you need to take expensive hotels, as you only come to wash and sleep. By Havaist bus you get to the rest of Aksaray and a 10-minute walk to the hotel, which was also very convenient👍
It's strange that such a small rating. The hotel is very good for the Fatih area.
Who is confused by the "slums" there are other areas in Istanbul, but I like this area. It's kind of authentic or something. And absolutely safe.
Near the metro is a big plus. There is a 24-hour shop 50 meters away.
And of course the seagull at breakfast is a bomb!!))) I think she's on their staff))
And by the way, the breakfasts are very decent for hotels in this area, I say so because there is something to compare it with.
There are also two-room rooms, which is convenient if you are traveling with a family, like us.
