It's a good three. Not 4 stars at all. The food is meager for 4 stars. There is not much choice, few dishes change, but there is plenty to choose from, they were full, but there was no delight either. Fruits include apples and tangerines. Often fish for dinner. Breakfast seemed richer than dinner. If there are no people, then they send you to a restaurant in Alaska for dinner, where there is no choice, but they give you what they give. The contingent is mainly pensioners from Europe. There are young people who usually talk in the evenings and at night. The audibility in the hotel is very good, be sure to take earplugs for those who are light sleepers. I had to make a lot of comments to the neighbors, they didn't let me sleep at night: they were talking under the door, or they were playing music loudly, they were tired. We could also hear the toilet flushing behind the wall in our room. The rooms themselves are small, the bathroom is cramped, there is little space, but you can live. The price of this hotel was an order of magnitude cheaper than its analogues. The location is good, it is the center in the European part, the metro station is nearby, the tram stop is also nearby, 15 minutes by tram to Eminenyu pier and the central mosques. We were satisfied, the trip was budget-friendly, and we liked Istanbul. We also went to the Princes' Islands and to Shila.
December 2024 I was very satisfied with the hotel and the service. It is located in the Laleli district, to be more precise, not Fatih. There are several tram or metro stops to get to the main attractions. The hotel has a hammam, sauna and a 5x5(6x6) swimming pool somewhere like that. The hotel is small and has five floors. I immediately asked for a "quiet" number. A couple of people understand Russian. I lived on the 5th floor with a beautiful view of the city and a piece of the Aegean Sea.
The breakfasts are monotonous, but everything is delicious. Apples, pears from fruits.
I was there from 11.11.2024 for four nights. I checked in late, the split climate control did not work well, I went to the reception in the morning, they fixed it and there were no more problems. At the reception, the Russian-speaking positive staff helped to print out some documents. Cleaning is daily, I left a dollar for cleaning and before the third night even the linen was completely changed. The view was of the food court.The shower cabin is half-open, a trickle can flow along the side, this is solved by putting an object on the side of the glass and the water does not flow to the floor. The restaurant at the hotel is very good, breakfast was included, we visited once and dinner - everything is at the highest level! The content is visible at breakfast-90% of the elderly are German speakers. When calling a taxi to the airport, the staff does not wind up a share, such as the Kent hotel. The food at the hotel is expensive, I walked through the tram tracks to Migros. The metro is nearby. I liked it, I think I'll check in here again another time.
