An ordinary three-star hotel. Tiny rooms. It's fine for three stars. The staff is very friendly, considerate and helpful. Everything seems to be neat and tidy. There is an elevator. The location is good. Within walking distance there are bus stops and minibuses and a high-speed tram that runs directly to Hagia Sophia and to the Basilica Cistern and the Blue Mosque. The view from the hotel windows is either to nowhere or to a narrow street with windows of another hotel. It's quite suitable for budget accommodation. Breakfast was included in the accommodation. For four days, the menu has not changed: boiled eggs, French fries, nuggets, three types of cheese, sausage, tomatoes, cucumbers, coffee, tea, milk, cereals, olives, olives, bagels. It'll do.

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.
