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.
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.
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!
The location is great, close to the sea, all the attractions are close, the rooms are spacious, clean, the staff is friendly. Breakfasts, I would like something hot, porridge for example. In general, everything is great, the price matches the quality.
Friendly staff, everything was suggested and recommended. Nice hotel, very good location, comfortable beds, clean good linens, cozy rooms. The plumbing is not new, but everything is working.
Great hotel! Within walking distance of the Marmara Sea, transport, metro. For the first time in Istanbul, the range is exceptionally suitable for jogging along the embankment, walking and shopping.
Nice staff. Good location near the historical center of the city. There is nothing extra in the hotel, and it is not necessary if your purpose of arrival is to walk around the city, but to stay at the hotel.
The TV was not working. Old furniture and doors in the room. The cats could walk right across the breakfast table by entering through the open windows. But the location of the hotel is very convenient. In general, the hotel deserves its stars. You shouldn't expect much.
Pros: Responsive staff. Minuses: 1) A very meager breakfast (eggs are provided on demand and no more than 1 piece per person; instant coffee only).
2) Living conditions are below one star - dirty floors, broken furniture and windows. It's terribly dirty in the bathroom.
A good enough place with a convenient location to travel around Istanbul.
Yes, this is not a comfortable high-class hotel, but it is quite suitable for getting enough sleep. Around the corner is the embankment, near all the sights. Breakfast is modest, but there are just an incredible number of places in the city with delicious, varied breakfasts and a wonderful view.
We have been vacationing since 04/12.24 this is the worst hotel. The room in the attic is a hothouse- it heats up in a day, the conder blows on your head, you can't sleep with the window open- The Azan is at 5 o'clock. There are no hangers, no chairs, there is a useless pedestal. There is no cleaning, no towel change, the shampoo is incomprehensible, the screen is required. At the reception, the guys don't decide anything, they smoke themselves in the hotel, or under the window, everything pulls into the room. If the room is in the attic, immediately refuse. The breakfasts are the same, but water and tea are not limited, this is a plus. It's close to the sea, yes, but you have to run across a busy highway, you can't swim there, just admire. Sultanahmet Square is 15-20 minutes uphill, the streets are very narrow and there is constant traffic - be careful. We will never go to this hotel again
We were in early October 2022. Room 401 is on the second floor. I really liked the hotel. Cozy, everything is clean, slippers, shampoos, shower gels were. It completely matches the photo. The towels are clean and white, and the bed linen is also clean. We covered ourselves with blankets, because it was a little chilly at night, they were in a drawer under the bed. To clean the room, you just had to leave the key at the reception. The location of the hotel is very good. The embankment and all the attractions are within walking distance. A little one-base breakfasts, in recent days I wanted something else. But the bread and cheeses are very tasty. Tea, coffee, water at any time. Very polite, responsive administrators Murat and Elchin, helped with any question and request.
Lovely helpful staff, good location.
A very dirty hotel, the food for the morning is of the same type, rooms in the basement without windows, how we got there - I still don't understand!
We had a rest in early December 2023. The bathroom is dirty:the curtain is clearly dirty, the soap dish has not been washed after the previous owners, interruptions with hot water (either a very thin trickle or does not flow from the tap at all), even a tuft of hair was on the tile from the previous hostess.
There is no kettle and glasses in the room (although they are usually present in the rooms).
When the light was turned on, the switch fell off, one of the batteries was missing from the TV remote control, and the door on the balcony with a non-working lock.
There are stains on the walls.
Breakfasts are scarce:loaf, cheese, cucumber, tomato, sausage, olives, jam, butter (to choose from). One morning there was no coffee available.
Of the advantages: not very far from some of the attractions.
We are not sissies, mostly we only spend the night in hotels, but it is very unpleasant to wash in such a shower, and the lack of hot water is just nonsense!
We do not recommend it.
The breakfasts are not bad. The rooms are dirty (((
The bed is clean.The administrators are friendly))))

+: Not a bad hotel for your money, if you take into account that you will only sleep there. The staff is also quite polite, but they will not miss the opportunity to cash in on you (if you want to change the room). Good breakfasts, and if not varied, but generous! In addition, the hotel is located in the center and the main attractions of Istanbul are just around the corner, there is a tram stop relatively nearby.
-: In winter, the rooms are very cold, even the air conditioner does not save. Terrible sound insulation. Untidiness, dirt in places. Well, if it's important to someone, the hotel is very small and even a little cramped.
Was November 1, 23, liked the hotel very much, everything is clean, near the park, the parking lot, restaurants, wonderful guys are working at the hotel, who always poiogut in all matters that do not understand Russian, if I still fly, I will stay only there, but I lived in 501 rooms)
Good afternoon. The hotel is a bit old, it can be seen that it has not been renovated for a long time. Room cleaning and towel change are only available upon request. Wifi slows down terribly. The breakfasts are monotonous and meager. The convenient location of the hotel, you can reach any place on foot.
It is very surprising when they write "a good hotel for that kind of money", people, for any money you should be provided with human conditions, namely a working toilet, ceilings without mold, shelves in the shower for personal hygiene products, clean pillows without stains, normally working Wi-Fi and staff who will respond to your requests.
We arrived on December 30, 2021. We were moved into a room on the ground floor, after examining it, we were slightly shocked - mold in the bathroom on the ceiling, no curtains, and this is the first floor, you can't even change clothes, well, dirt everywhere is just dirty. but the most interesting thing started in the morning when we woke up from the kitchen next door. They asked us to move, placed us on the second floor - the result. there is less mold on the ceiling, the toilet does not work, well, that is, you flush it, and after that it makes noise for 30 minutes, pillows and blankets are all stained, Wi-Fi does not work. BUT a company from Tajikistan moved into this hotel, like, how did they behave, booze, yelled songs, danced, I haven't seen such game for a long time and do you think the manager made a remark? No, of course not. They came on vacation, so everyone should hear their drunken screams! And finally, the manager leaves your requests unanswered, well, right here he is looking at you and is silent, you say, for example, the toilet does not work - he sits and continues to play, and no one will come to your request to fix it.
We arrived on December 9, 2021, checked in at 1 a.m., settled in the basement! it's cold, even though the air conditioner is working, you can't see anything from the window, because the basement! The same night they asked for a different room! they moved into another room on the 2nd floor, the window does not close there, they just taped it with tape, asked the manager to repair it! he said ok ok, and 2 days later he came to repair it himself! and he just peeled off the tape, said that the master would be called, the next day he said again, he just offered to check into another room, checked into another room and it was more or less convenient there, but this is not the end, they are disposable shampoos, balms are poured with ordinary water, and they said about it, breakfast in hotels every day It's the same thing every day. like a Turkish breakfast! I won't come here anymore! and I advise you not to come, if it so happens that you have arrived, check everything carefully before checking in.
We have been living since January 2nd, we are in deep shock. We paid for the standard. We got a place to spend the night in the attic. Number 501.. This is not a room. And certainly not a standard, it's worse than a housekeeper. It's a seagull's nest!
There is no heating, they offered to heat the air conditioner, which does not work. A window (exactly a window, not a window!) under the ceiling. You can open it only by showing miracles of resourcefulness, because the rag, which should be a curtain, immediately falls to the floor! The toilet-shower is a separate fairy tale. If you want to wash, you need to remove the toilet paper, otherwise it will get all wet, because there is not even a door between the shower and the toilet. To get to the toilet or shower, you need to completely squeeze into the space near the washbasin, close the door behind you and only then will you have the opportunity to get to the shower. Instead of a hood, there is a through hole to the street, there is no shelf under the mirror. While brushing your teeth, you bang your head against the ceiling. Everything is rusty and mildewed. We live for the fifth day, they don't even take out the garbage, you shouldn't even dream about cleaning and replacing towels. You will never be able to close or open the front door the first time! Because a well is a through hole where you need to manage to insert the key correctly to get into the groove. There is no sound insulation at all! The walls are cardboard. The time is 23-00.... For more than an hour we have been listening to people moving into the next room....
For honesty, there are also advantages - a comfortable mattress, hot water all the time and location. That's all.
We're not coming here anymore! I am attaching real photos.
Well, quite a budget, you can spend the night from the advantages of the location is good

Nice hotel, we were in winter. It was warm due to the air conditioner. The breakfasts are so-so. The staff is excellent. In general, I recommend the hotel.
