I liked the hotel, it was small, cozy, and clean. The location is very good, we walked both to the Galata Tower and to the embankment. The only thing that marred the start of the holiday was a meeting at the reception, the administrator demanded to pay for the accommodation, although everything was paid for through the Island. And only when I started calling the Island to confirm the payment, he immediately let us through and gave us the room key. I've already read about such a divorce, it's very unpleasant. I liked the breakfasts, everything was fresh, even my fastidious teenage daughter ate, and it's hard to please her. Cleaned every day, clean.
Excellent hotel in the city center at an adequate price. Friendly staff, cleaning and linen change daily. One of the disadvantages is breakfast. A cold appetizer of cheeses, ham, eggs, and more. It gets boring on the 3rd day. We ate breakfast on our own at the nearby eateries. We took it with breakfast included. There is no noise from the pedestrian street of Taksim Square, as it is located 2 minutes from the main street. Taksim Metro station is a 5-minute walk away. There are a lot of restaurants nearby, as well as shops for every taste.
First of all, the advantages: excellent location, high-quality cleaning. We booked in advance through the island with full payment, settled in without any problems, no additional payments were required. There is an elevator, and there are no animals (cockroaches, bedbugs, etc.). There is a kettle and a small fridge, tea, coffee, water. Free Wi-Fi. There were no problems with cold and hot water.
Cons: the window is difficult to open, the view from the window is on the ruins (4th floor). Bottled water was only available at check-in, then it was not added. There are few outlets in the room-only three, and one of them has a mini-bar, and the kettle is heated on the floor. Breakfast is not worth taking, they are monotonous sour and cold, there was an omelet once (they asked for it themselves) and there was an omelet with tomatoes, one pan for three. We ate hot food in a nearby cafe (800 lire for three people).
