The hotel that hit right in the heart!
Ideal location in the Karakey area — everything interesting is nearby:
• stunning waterfront with cafes, shops and a museum of modern art,
• 3 breathtaking mosques,
• a lively street with bars, cafes and the legendary mackerel shawarma,
• Karakey Pier,
• only 10 minutes to Galata Tower and 15 minutes to Istiklal.
There is one important caveat: there is a minaret with a megaphone right across the street. Morning prayer will wake you up, and if you wake up easily and find it difficult to fall asleep again, take this into account when choosing.
We lived in both deluxe and standard rooms. Of course, the deluxe is more comfortable, more spacious, with a huge bed. But the standard is also quite comfortable. Additional items were brought on request. A blanket, pillows, and an iron are all operational.
The breakfasts are modest, they take place on a small covered terrace, the tables are crowded. But, as our experience in three hotels in Istanbul has shown, meager breakfasts are more the norm.
And I can't help but say about the lobby — it's a great example of interior design with a capital letter. An incredible combination of textures, ornaments, colors and art objects. It's not just about relaxation, it's about experience, being in such interiors is an inspiration in itself.

Nice budget hotel in a cool neighborhood. Nice room, cozy restaurant, friendly staff. There's even a gym, it smells a bit, but it'll do. After all, I was in Istanbul to eat, drink and walk, not for the sake of Olympic records. The only thing is, the breakfasts could have been a little more varied. More protein foods, for example

A nice hotel with an unusual dark and stylish interior. The room was spacious, the air conditioning worked even better than expected.
Convenient location for access to the embankment to the tram that will take you to the center
