In general, I recommend it.
Positive:
- The staff. He speaks Russian and English. Everyone is friendly. If something was needed, they always helped.
- Breakfast. Without much variety, But there is sausage, olives, delicious cheese, simite, milk, etc.
- cleaning. Every day they took out the garbage, added shampoos and cleaned minimally (they did not hang a sign on the door). At the same time, we somehow managed to do this in the 10-14 window while we were in the city. A really generous set of supplies, including a toothbrush and a razor. Bed linen was changed every 2 days.
- the number. We had a duplex with a bed on the second level, a neat, pleasant room. There is a refrigerator (without freezer), a table and an ottoman on the first level.
- cooler at the reception. You can always get clean water before going out into your container.
Cons:
- conditional location. It is convenient to get to Istiklal on foot, to buses across the street, to the tram is no longer very much. That is, you will need to walk a little bit to the center.
- the number. The window is on the adjacent facade, the blinds are closed. There was almost no light, there was no point even talking about the view.
Our air conditioner specifically, even in the 16 degree mode, blew a little colder than room temperature. It was hot on the second level of the room.
There wasn't much room, we only had backpacks, but there would have been nowhere for hard bags to stand. But it wasn't crowded.
Comparison based on living in 3 hotels of the same price for this holiday. I definitely recommend this one.
A normal hotel in the city center, 2 minutes from the famous Istiklal. We had a clean 2-room room on the 5th floor. Despite the busy place (bars, pubs, clubs), the room itself is quiet and easy to sleep (the air conditioner works properly as well as the Internet). There are shower accessories, slippers, towels in the room. The contingent is mostly Russian. Breakfasts are included (meager but nice). The staff is Russian-speaking, very friendly and helpful. We are always ready to help. Rustam and the guys, thank you so much for your hospitality. Of the disadvantages, only the dirt on the streets next to the hotel, but this has nothing to do with the hotel itself. For Istanbul, this is a very good option to spend the night or sit out the heat.
If you could put 1,000,000 stars, I would. We stayed at the hotel for 2 weeks in a double room. This is just a super hotel, we really liked it. Modern interior, clean, delicious fresh breakfasts, smells delicious.
Administrators Agif and Rustam speak excellent Russian. Also, the administrators are responsive and help with any question, and generally very positive guys. The number corresponds to the photo. Wi-Fi works well. The hotel has an elevator. It's a little noisy at night, if you're a lover of silence, I recommend taking earplugs, but the noise from the street didn't cause us any problems.
Close to Taksim metro station, easy to reach anywhere in the city. There is also a Shok supermarket within walking distance, Vyshlyal Street. Also nearby is a wonderful Espresso Lab coffee shop and a shop with delicious local shawarma Tantuni Land.
A separate love is the kitty Yusun, who lives in a hotel, especially cute when she stomps after you for breakfast.
In general, the hotel is a heartbreak, everything is like at home. We send greetings to Agif and Rustam, we wish you and your kitty health and well-being.
