For Istanbul, I consider the hotel to be above average in its price category. Excellent location (Cembirlatash bus stop, Fatih district) everything is within walking distance (5 minutes to the Grand Bazaar, the same distance to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia). There are many shops and cafes, although Istanbul is basically a continuous market and cafe. Nice bed, clean linens, but the pillows are so-so. A modest breakfast, but you can choose something. Unlimited water in cups for breakfast. You can have breakfast both indoors and outdoors. Friendly staff. Cleaning every day, towels are changed too, the bed is changed every 3 days.
Among the disadvantages, cockroaches, poor water pressure. There is a kettle in the room, but no water, no mugs, nothing at all. There is a safe and a TV, but neither the remote control nor the safe itself has batteries.
Now the most important thing. I booked the hotel on the level travel website, the room categories are either economy without windows, or standard with a window, or standard with a balcony. As a result, the standard, which is more expensive, turned out to be booked without a window, but this is not indicated on the website, plus photos of the room indicate the opposite. Thanks to the man from Azerbaijan who works there, we were given a room on the 2nd floor, in fact the first, but with a window.
Excellent hotel, good location, cleaning every day + change of towels. Excellent staff, polite and friendly, will help with any question. Excellent breakfasts. The hotel has its own cafe, if you just went out for a walk or came from it, you will definitely be treated to tea. Without knowledge of the language, you will be understood anyway (on your fingers). Great place, we will definitely come back here again!
A hotel with a good location, but not for the picky.
We stopped at -1, therefore, a room without a window and a balcony (if you look later, make sure that almost all hotels are similar - even if there is a balcony, it is purely formal - you can't really go out, there is nowhere to sit with a cup of tea). The room is small, but there is a corner for suitcases. There is a kettle in the room. But the safe does not work from the word at all. There is no refrigerator.
As for breakfast, there is everything you need, the children will also find suitable food for themselves. We are not very picky, because we were satisfied with the hotel. All requests at the reception are fulfilled quickly. In the photo there are breakfasts
