It was great experience staying at Spinel Hotel. You can walk to all historical places like Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace. We had a problem with plumbers and informed the staff and they fixed it quickly!
Nice lamp hotel in the center of the old town. Corresponds to the star rating. Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque are within walking distance, and the Bosphorus is a 5-minute walk away. At the same time, the hotel is very well located - it does not go out onto noisy streets, you will sleep peacefully, without noise.
The staff is very friendly and helpful - it feels like you've come to visit your family.
The rooms are simple, of course, but we had our towels cleaned and changed daily, no complaints at all. When you choose the rooms, look carefully: there are very small rooms, and there are large ones.
Kitchen: we were at breakfast. A traditional Turkish breakfast, simple, you should not look for excesses here: eggs in various forms, greens, vegetables, spreadings, pastries, desserts. It was delicious to me. The only thing is that you won't find good coffee here, but again, there are plenty of coffee shops and stalls within a 5-minute walk.
The staff doesn't speak Russian, but it's never bothered me, for example. Google translator to help.
By the way, the dining room is on the terrace - God, what views of the Bosphorus open from here! It's only for the sake of such views that you can rent this hotel.
