The main advantage of the hotel is its location - all the sights are within walking distance. Exchangers, waikiki, grand bazaar. There is a Migros nearby. The chic fish market is a 10-minute walk away. Another advantage is the view from the restaurant at breakfast. That's where the advantages end- they didn't do any cleaning at all, and they didn't change the towels. There are 2 towels for 2 people, they have not yet responded to requests to bring them. The breakfasts were mediocre, but we found something to eat - we ate boiled eggs, bread, cheese, vegetables, yogurt. I didn't have enough porridge, I managed to eat it 1 time in 5 days. There were no others, even at the very beginning of breakfast. There were also interruptions with tea, because Turks brew tea, there is no packaged tea. So wait for them to brew, and they're not in a hurry at all. These are all small things, of course. There are cockroaches that they write about, I saw 1 once under the bathroom sink. Our friend had it on his pillow in his room, and it was terrible. We were swept away)) we were vacationing with a group and my husband and I got the worst room of all, as we arrived later than everyone else. There was no choice, the hotel was full. The room was like a kennel, even just washing up, sleeping at that time was a burden in the hotel, it was completely unpleasant. But we were ready for this for 11500 rubles for 2 5 nights in the center, it's free, besides with breakfast. This is our first visit to Istanbul, so it was important to live in the center. Now that we have an idea of the city and districts, we will definitely choose something else. Istanbul is beautiful! We'll be back for sure. The hotel has a place to be- for your money, without false expectations. It's up to you.
Pros: excellent location in the center of places of interest, shopping malls, we tried to make the renovation stylish, air conditioning, TV, shower, refrigerator are working. There is no smell on the floor and in the room, it is clean and pleasant. Wi-Fi from the room works great, the hotel staff is friendly and caring (if you ask something, they don't fit themselves).
Breakfast is normal, there is even watermelon and cherries, well, tea, coffee, cheese, eggs, sausages, of course. The view is good from the dining room.
Cons: there really are cockroaches (we saw two), we took poison with us and scattered it in the corners of the room.
It must be accepted as a fact that: There are Windows, but they overlook the courtyard, you can say there is no sunlight here, the format of the hotel is bad and brekfast, we slept in the shower, had breakfast and went for a walk.
