The friendly staff does their best, considering the location of the hotel and the specific environment. They will always help and prompt you. The rooms are cleaned every day. Always clean linen and towels. A comfortable bed with a good mattress - does not creak, does not shake. Absence of insects, dust. Breakfast is what you need: there are no delicacies, but boiled eggs, cheeses, vegetables and olives, fresh bread, fruits. After eating in the morning, you don't think about food for a long time. It is quite suitable for a budget tourist! Recommend.
We liked this hotel and specifically our room. It is clean (except for hard-to-reach places, such as a niche in which there is a mini-refrigerator, it could be wiped at least once a month, but it does not seem to be wiped at all), cozy, has everything you need: air conditioning, refrigerator, hair dryer, TV (found one Russian channel), shower gel and shampoo. The hotel has five floors (6 in our opinion) and minus the first one, where the dining room is located. There is a small elevator.
They cleaned every day, towels were also changed daily. Only the bed linen, it seems, has never been changed during the week of our stay there.
There was plenty of room for us in the room itself, I don't know why they write that there is no way to turn around. But very poor sound insulation, especially in the bathroom. At some point, Russian-speaking women moved into the room next to ours, and we heard a lot from them, but they probably thought that no one could hear them, since they did not hear us (we just did not communicate from the toilet) :D
The staff we managed to talk to were quite polite, especially one receptionist who spoke Russian.
The breakfast is quite varied (especially compared to the 3* hotel where we were in Kemer), but every day it's the same: cereals with milk, eggs, onion rings, French fries, melon, watermelon, different types of cheese, sausage, olives, olives, white bread and simit (on which can be spread with butter, different types of jams, honey or chocolate paste), cucumbers and tomatoes. Drinks include tea, water, a coffee machine in which you can make espresso, latte, cappuccino or coffee with milk. I really liked that the disposable cups were paper, not plastic, and they were clearly thrown away, and not allowed to be reused.
The street where the hotel is located is quite dirty (like the whole city as a whole) and there are homeless people. At first it scared us, but in fact everything is quite safe, we often returned to the hotel by midnight. There is a large metro station and Marmaray (Yenikapi) nearby, there were no difficulties getting anywhere. Not far away in walking distance there is Migros Jet and a large shopping center, where there are (MMM Migros, Zara, Bershka, Stradivarius, Pull&Bear, Sephora, Nike, etc.).
Total of the advantages: free Wi-Fi, mini fridge, hair dryer, safe and air conditioning, bidet and toilet lid with door closer. Friendly staff, daily room cleaning and a varied breakfast.
Among the disadvantages: the lack of an iron in the hotel, one small urn in the bathroom for the whole room, the lack of hooks for towels / clothes in the bathroom, poor sound insulation.
On the plus side: friendly staff, one of the administrators speaks a little Russian. The rest are not, and in English too…
The rooms are cleaned daily (well, almost, if you're lucky). One day, even at our request, the room was not cleaned.
There is also a tram stop and a metro station nearby. In general, there are no problems with transport at all. There is a cafe nearby, but keep in mind that the food is everywhere for an amateur) To find a good place, you need to try very hard....
Of the cons: disgusting sound insulation (everything is very audible), it's sooooo time to make repairs at the hotel, the rooms are small, the breakfasts are monotonous…
But once again I would like to note as a plus that the staff always tries to make concessions) Even without knowing Russian and English.
Nearby, employees of nearby shops are also trying to make concessions)
In general, we do not recommend the hotel, but, in extreme cases, it will do)
