Of the advantages :
+ location near the waterfront, where you can see dolphins
+ near the blue Mosque
+ close to the grand bazaar
+ very close to a lot of cafes where delicious food and shops .
Minuses :
- breakfasts are a separate story. There are only three tables where you can eat , but since the hotel is small, you can often catch a place, but sometimes we took food with us to the room , since there were no places.
Breakfast is the same every day - boiled egg, cut in half, sprinkled with spices (pepper), cucumbers, tomatoes, pigtail cheese , bread, jams. All. For the first two days of our stay, there was butter and honey. The rest of the days didn 't have that either . Very sparse.
- room cleaning. She is not in this hotel at all. I'm not exaggerating. There is simply no such service. No one changes towels, delivers toilet paper, or takes out trash from trash cans.
If you need something, you can ask at the reception.
- the walls are paper thin in the hotel, all the neighbors behind the wall are very audible. A small child was crying as if in our room.
- the guy from the reception slept every night right there on the couch …
- a view from the window of someone's abandoned vegetable garden.
In general, such a thing) but nevertheless, it did not spoil our rest. We are not picky, everything is tolerable.
Good time of day, they're trying, but... There are no miracles, 3* there are 3*, clean towels and bed linen, and of course an exceptional location (not much more central) - that's it. The hotel is old, cleaned only upon urgent request, the breakfasts are the same every day, there is no sound insulation, there are no Russian channels, the Internet is very weak. The guests are mostly from Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan. Price is quality, if there is an opportunity to pay a little extra, it is better to choose something else, or ignore the shortcomings, fight stupidly.
Istanbul is one of the most amazing places on earth. The hotel is located a 15-minute walk uphill from the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia Cathedral, this hotel doesn't give a damn about all your requests, we stayed at the hotel for 6 days without flushing the toilet, we waited a long time for hot water, and the rooms are old! The photo shows the view from our room 403, I do not recommend breakfast!
