The location of the hotel is great, but the room itself is tired almost to death. There is no TV, a washing place for skinny people and stepping 50 cm through a narrow door, you can kill yourself wet, a towel with wipes, etc.
The condition of the hotel rooms is, of course, depressing. However, there was no tin either. The staff is loyal and adequate, but they don't speak Russian. The breakfasts are not bad, but, of course, no frills. The main advantage of the hotel is undoubtedly its location. Everything a tourist needs is located around within walking distance. To Sofia 10 minutes on foot, to the metro 2-3 minutes. Eminenyu Pier, from where you can take an affordable walk along the Bosphorus or to the Islands, is a 10-minute walk away. Right under the hotel there is a courtyard with a cafe for every budget; next door (10 meters to the left of the hotel exit) nice cozy dining room where you can have lunch for 100 lira. In short, if you need a hotel only as a place to spend the night, it fits perfectly.
Hello, we were at this hotel in the period from 08 to 15 March 2023, I do not recommend this hotel. The rooms are in very poor condition, require serious repairs, and other rooms have mold. The photo shows the second number, which we demanded after seeing the first number. The window in the first room did not work/did not close. When trying to open it, the window came out of the frame, it is impossible to close it yourself. Something happened in the bathroom - the cabinet with the sink was charred, only one light bulb was working. Absolutely a horror movie. In the second room, the window was also poorly closed, but at least it did not come out of the frame. The condition of the bathroom is slightly better than in the first room, the lighting is much better. The air conditioner was hanging on the wall, we didn't use it, it wasn't hot. For breakfast, bread, two types of cheese, Turkish sausage, boiled eggs, instant Nescafe coffee, sometimes fried potatoes and an omelette. For maintenance, you need to ask for new towels, soap, and so on. There are Russian-speaking staff.
But there is a plus - the location of the hotel, within walking distance of all the main attractions of Istanbul, and the tram nearby, and the metro. Mosques are also close by - the first prayer is at 05.40 am.
