The hotel is decent. In the center of the old town. The most famous sights are nearby. The Bosphorus and parks are within walking distance. The hotel staff is friendly and will help with any question. We took a trip to a Chalet by the sea through the hotel, the prices with tour operators are the same. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The room was cleaned normally, but not for 5 points. The furniture and plumbing are good and serviceable. Towels are changed if you put them on the floor. For some reason there are no spoons and plates in the room, it's strange for 4*. There is a kettle and mugs. The windows are very small, it's a little dark even during the day, but the sun doesn't bake and they almost didn't turn on the air conditioner. No one in the hotel understands Russian. Breakfast is a standard buffet. No porridge. Fruits mostly in 7 days are watermelon, melon, apricots, plums, there were strawberries and cherries sometimes. The pastries are delicious and the coffee is very good. Beautiful view from the top floor of the restaurant to the city, the bay, etc. If you will have lunch or dinner, the price is higher than everywhere else, but in the evening it compensates for the beautiful view from the window. The quality of the dishes is good, delicious. For the convenience of traveling to the hotel and back to the airport, I advise you to take an individual transfer, quickly and comfortably, given their traffic jams.
We have been staying at this hotel for two weeks since August 27, 2024.
The big plus of the hotel is that it is within walking distance of the main attractions of Istanbul.
Upon check-in at the reception, everything was processed quickly, greeted kindly, and helped with luggage.
The room turned out to be small, obviously too small for three adults.
The beds are wide and comfortable. Nice bed linen. It was very comfortable to sleep. There is an electric kettle and cups in the room, but their volume is too small for three people.
Bags of coffee, tea, and sugar were replenished as needed. There was not enough table for a snack and tea. But the area of the room does not allow this. I had to use the bedside table.
Bathroom with shower. By the end of the season, the shower itself and the watering can are already in need of repair, the water from the shower head does not dissipate, but flows like from a tap.
The water left the shower tray badly. They did not contact the administration, because they visited the pool and went to the beaches on the islands.
I liked the pool, small, clean, friendly staff. We really missed at least a small clothes dryer, because we visited the pool, and there was nowhere to hang swimsuits and small things to dry.
The plumbing in the men's shower is also in need of repair.
I really liked the breakfasts. A cozy restaurant, there are enough tables, there is enough space for everyone. If necessary, the staff comes to the rescue.
The food is varied. There are enough fresh vegetables and fruits, greens. A wide variety of hot vegetable dishes.
And from the huge assortment of Turkish sweets, you think for a long time what you would like to try. THAT'S IT. Again, it's the end of the season.
The containers for hot food are out of order. But I think the staff will come and replace or repair them.
There are no disadvantages in the work of maids. The room was cleaned at our request. We replenished detergents as needed. Towels and bed linen were changed.
I recommend the hotel for a short stay.
The hotel is good. Excellent location, located next to the Gulhane tram stop. Everything is nearby. The breakfasts are good, for every taste. Great view from the upper terrace where breakfast is served.
The staff is polite, they already speak a little Russian (5 years ago this was not the case yet)
In my opinion, it's time for the numbers
"refresh." In general, if you don't sit in the room, then everything is not bad.
The hotel has a great restaurant!!!
The prices are of course sooo decent, but the service and food quality are decent!
