A great hotel for the unassuming. Modest, small, but absolutely comfortable. When planning your first trip to Istanbul, of course, it is difficult, focusing only on maps and attractions, to guess the location, but after staying at the hotel for a week and visiting many areas of the city, we realized that we had not lost at all! We can safely recommend this hotel, and we ourselves will be glad to stay in it again. The staff is friendly, you can't hear the neighbors, except that some rooms overlook a fairly busy street, who doesn't like this - a closed window (and earplugs) will provide you with a comfortable sleep ;)
From the airport, you can either take the metro to Taksim or Shishkhane and walk to the hotel (10-15 minutes), or use the Havaist-16 transfer bus (170 lira), which reaches Taksim Square and from it 10 minutes along the popular Istiklal Street, then there will only be one turn left to the hotel itself.
* There were no problems with Wi-Fi, stable connection and speed.
** photos of rooms and the hotel on the Internet fully correspond to what we saw upon arriving at the hotel.
The room has a refrigerator, tea station, ironing board, soap dish and slippers, but there are no bathrobes and dental kits.
Also, during the stay, the drain was clogged and about taking a long shower, water leaked behind the shower doors.
A three-star hotel. Three points for the location, general interior and daily cleaning. In general, everything is very decent, the photo corresponds to reality.
But!
1. On the second day after check-in, the smell of dampness / sewage appeared, even if you did not wash. It's probably from the next one.
2. The sound insulation is poor, everything is audible. I was saved by earplugs, I didn't really hear anything in them.
3. The wifi is disgusting, it didn't even work properly. For some reason, I only caught it near the door.
4. Breakfast is always the same, there are no cereals/cereals. It will do for a few days, but if you stay for a long time, then of course you should not pay for it.
5. Water is not brought at all, but slippers / soap accessories are changed every day
Ужасный разбитый, побитый, объюзенный, обтертый, пошарканый с плесенью в ванных комнатах отель…..
В таком доме смерти мы еще не жили….
Причем стоит не дешево!!!
На фото действительно этот отель только 20 или 30 лет назад.
