It was the worst stay ever. We booked the hotel for 4 days and decided to leave on the second day. We had breakfast included as a buffet, but on checking in we found out that the restaurant is on renovation and we won’t be able to visit it and they’ll bring breakfast in the room. At the reception they also said that don’t worry choose anything you want, we’ll make it, plus we’ll serve Turkish breakfast. As you understand, they didn’t make anything next morning ( said that they don’t serve hot dishes today, we ordered omelet). Due to renovations at the restaurant, there are some loud noises of construction and due to it they also had some troubles with electricity. It turned off several times, while I was in the shower and even we got stuck in the elevator. Next when we came back in the evening, we found out that the air conditioner doesn’t work. They couldn’t do anything, so it didn’t work all night. So we had to sleep in hot room, also couldn’t close the window properly as it’s broken also. As a result, problems with electricity, construction noise, broken window, broken conditioner. We decide to leave next morning. They didn’t give out money back until we right a good review! Could you imagine that? Of course we couldn’t complete it as in booking.comer couldn’t cancel our stay. After some time, they let us go, gave money back, but took the commission 60€.
Highly do not recommend!
We stayed at the hotel in June 2024, and the breakfasts were wonderful, varied and delicious, for free at this price. The rooms are new and stylish, I liked it. It's cramped for someone, but there's plenty of room for two people. Who comes to Istanbul to sit in a room?😂
Seagulls at breakfast are generally great
We stayed twice, in March and August 2024. A great hotel for your money. The main thing is silence. Of course, it's quite busy around, but both the roadway and the mosques are some distance away, so you wake up when you want, and not when the maudzin gathers the faithful for prayer. The food is the most ordinary, but high-quality: omelette, boiled eggs, porridge, sausages, tomatoes, cucumbers, fruits. Many people write about a small bathroom. We lived together, there was enough room for us. If you find fault: it's stuffy on the stairs and in the elevator. And so everything is fine, I recommend it!
In Istanbul for the 4th time. We received a slight shock and disappointment.
The economic crisis is evident in all countries.
The hotel was pleased only by the friendly and attentive staff.
Otherwise, the location is good relative to transport, but a huge rattling trash can under the windows is visible from all the rooms, tiny rooms.
In general, the hotel is price/quality. The rooms are clean and tidy, our towels were cleaned and renewed daily. The room has everything you need: a kettle, tea/coffee, a hair dryer, a mini fridge, a large mirror, a table and a chair for work, as well as good Internet, at least on the 3rd floor caught without interruption. The interior is minimalistic, without gold moldings and royal headboards, which rooms are full in Istanbul))) yes, the room is small in size, of the disadvantages, the room was a little dark and there was no full-fledged wardrobe, but this did not bother us. The bathroom is very tiny, but at the same time there was a warm floor in the shower, which gave comfort when taking a shower.
Breakfast was on the top floor according to the buffet system, not very varied and delicious, but you will not stay hungry. Scramble was always cooked, there were vegetables and fruits, and various cuts. But by the way, there was a similar breakfast in a more expensive Radisson, so I don't think you need to bet on it) You will also be entertained by begging seagulls at breakfast;)
There are scales on the ground floor where you can evaluate the results of your Turkish shopping and exclude unpleasant surprises with a preponderance at the airport.
The hotel is located in the historical district of Fatih. There are restaurants nearby for every taste and budget, and not all of them are in Yandex maps, so I recommend using maps.mi. You could get to all historical attractions on foot. The nearest metro station (Vesnezhiler) is 8-10 minutes on foot, this green line, which makes it easy to get to the western part, where there are also many attractions and large shopping centers. There are also bus and tram stops nearby. Several exchangers are also within walking distance, and on the next street there is a small market where you can buy groceries and fresh fruits.
The room was booked through the Islet service. We were satisfied.
I liked everything-the location, the staff, the cleanliness of the hotel, the beautiful view at breakfast - the sea view.
I wanted more variety at breakfast, the menu hardly changed during the 7 days of my stay.
I put a strong three, you can live cleanly and neatly. But as soon as we arrived, there is an announcement from today until ... there will be no hot water for four days :((( it's just ……
The hotel is not bad. Not far from the bus stops, the area, of course... Flea market. The room is small, but it was known in advance, we did not expect that there would be such a meager bathroom. It's just tiny. The breakfasts are good. Practically no one speaks Russian. In the restaurant on the 7th floor, seagulls look in the windows, they demand food
