We had a rest in the second decade of January 2025.
The location is good: the main historical attractions are nearby (to the Hippodrome Square 5 min. slightly uphill, there is also the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia), but there is a high-speed tram railway nearby, which can be critical. We were mostly outside the hotel, and at night the trams stopped running, so the "noise of the wheels" didn't bother us.
The hotel is traditional (most of them are nearby), not big and cozy. There are 4 floors, including one basement, where the rooms have access to the street and a tiny courtyard.
The rooms are small, but quite sufficient for a comfortable stay. There is everything you need (slippers and washcloths, tea, instant coffee included), except for bathrobes. There is a minibar (non-refrigerator), kettle, iron and umbrellas at the reception.
The mattresses are excellent, moderately hard. The linen is decent and clean.
Cleaning is daily, but at a minimum. Traditionally in Turkey, dust is under the bed, on cupboards, on wall lamps, and on the headboard.
The TV is not usually small, located behind the mirror panel, connect a flash drive or hard drive. Not critical, because watching TV was not an end in itself.
The staff at the reception speaks English and Russian. They are very friendly, polite, and professional. They prompt and solve questions.
The breakfasts are decent and take place on the terrace overlooking the lighthouse and the sea.
I stayed at this hotel from January 7 to January 17, 2025. The hotel is located next to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, a very quiet and peaceful area. The hotel is cozy like a family home. The staff is helpful, there is a Russian-speaking girl who helps solve all the problems. Good food (varied breakfasts). The food is delicious. Of the hotels that are located nearby, this one seemed to be the most cozy and attractive
I had a rest in March 25. Excellent location of the hotel, all the main attractions are within walking distance. The room is a little tired, but the mattress is comfortable, everything is clean. The staff is friendly. The breakfasts are delicious and there are plenty to choose from.
