The location of the hotel is excellent. Near the metro station Vezneciler and the Aksaray tram (7-10 minutes walk to the metro, 5 minutes to the tram). The hotel is also located on a quiet street, which is an undoubted advantage when you need to have a good rest and sleep. The staff is very polite and always ready to help with any questions, especially if this is your first time in Istanbul.
The room is small, but very comfortable. There is everything you need, including a mini-bar (kettle, two bottles of water, tea and instant coffee). The only small disadvantage may be high audibility (neighbors talking, etc.), but this is all solved by contacting the reception.
Many people wrote about the monotony of breakfast, but this was not a problem. Indeed, every day the food repeats itself (sometimes one or two positions change), but the most important thing is that everything is fresh and delicious (it will not be difficult to assemble a basic plate with all the necessary products). Unfortunately, coffee is only instant or brewed in a teapot. But again, these subtleties did not play a big role, since the overall impression remained positive. I would also like to mention the Russian-speaking Maxim, who helps solve a number of issues, is always polite and friendly. The hotel itself is not large, but it fulfills its basic functions. Good value for money for those who travel alone (for example, for a couple of days) and for couples without children. At the reception, when you extend a room on the spot, you can get a discount, which is two to three times cheaper than booking through aggregates (Island, Booking and others). The overall impression is positive.
The location is excellent- near a major transport hub: Aksaray metro, T1 tram line, Havaist-12 stop from the new Istanbul airport, as well as bus stops. And combined with the price, this hotel is generally super! The room was cleaned daily and neatly. The bed is comfortable, the mattress is hard (in a good way), the pillows and the blanket are comfortable. The room has a semi-open balcony, a kettle, coffee, tea and sugar, 2 bottles of water are left free of charge daily. The room is well ventilated, there are no foreign odors, the room has air conditioning. Breakfast is from 7.30 to 10.30, omelette, boiled eggs daily, as well as changing dishes - onion rings, French fries, nuggets, croutons, potato slices. Every day there are greens, fresh vegetables, 3-4 types of olives, salads and different breads. There are seasonal fruits, you can come to the kitchen at any time for tea and coffee. The female chef is very friendly, humble and sincerely responds to gratitude for delicious food. The staff at the reception, the cleaners are very friendly, speak Turkish and English. Maxim speaks Russian well.
Of the minuses, Wifi was sometimes poorly caught in the corner room 505, because the router was in the middle of the corridor on the floor
The location is excellent - close to both the metro and the center on foot in 15 minutes. The rooms are clean, cleaning every day.
The breakfast is simply gorgeous and very plentiful.
The only drawback is that the rooms are cramped, but if you come to walk around the city and only spend the night at the hotel, then it is quite enough.
By the way, you can bargain at the reception desk and get yourself a much lower price than on booking sites.
