Plus, it has a good location, an interesting area and is quite quiet. There is a cafe and a shop nearby. There is a tram and metro nearby. Plus, the booking via Yandex went through without any problems.
The negative number is poor, the window is fictitious, and it's cramped. There is no kettle or water. Strong audibility in the hallway and in the morning overhead trampling and cleaning from 6 a.m.
Plus, the room has a refrigerator, air conditioning, and a bathroom. The bed is comfortable
The disadvantage is that the linen is not very clean. Towels are generally terrible, unpleasant to use. For 5 days, they never cleaned or even cleaned the trash can.
Plus— a veranda for breakfast, as stated, seals, a view of the Bosphorus. The breakfast is decent, but there is no sweet stuff.
The disadvantage is that there are no glasses, you have to drink from cardboard cups.
We chose the hotel by location. And according to this criterion, it is 10 out of 10. Everything is nearby - Taksim Square, Istiklal (if you go upstairs), and below the tram line, the marina and the large Galataport shopping center. There are many ATMs around, fruit shops, street food.
And now about the hotel itself. He's just not very good at all...just to spend the night. We arrived at 8 a.m. - the only answer is check-in at 14. We asked about breakfast - no, only after check-in. And now put your things here (so be it) and go for a walk for 6 hours. By the way, no one was watching things and wasn't going to. I had to carry some of my things with me.
The staff is very rude. They don't speak English or Russian.
The room was cleaned just before check-in and with such a vigorous remedy that it burned my eyes and nose. No more cleaning, no towels changed. The linen seems to be clean, but it seems that somewhere the stains are ordered a la putty.
The breakfasts were monotonous - eggs, some fried tubes with cheese, 2 salads, vegetables, olives, cheese, bread, tea/coffee (and that's why it was not allowed to have breakfast?)
In short, it's okay to spend the night clean.
Great hotel. Clean, cleaning every day, the breakfasts are delicious, the view from the balcony to the Bosphorus, the staff is friendly, seagulls hang out on the roof of the neighboring house, which you can feed with French fries from your hands. To the embankment, a 5-minute walk from the hill, to Taksim, 20 minutes uphill (very uphill), opposite the hotel there is a cozy cafe and a minimarket
