The hotel was chosen for a long time, we read a lot of reviews and they were all quite good and realistic.
• The location is good, 7 minutes to Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern and other attractions. Nearby there are cafes where you can eat, but there is a little expensive;
• We arrived at the hotel and we are told that you will live in another hotel one day, since all the rooms are occupied. Very cunning, they decided to take money from us even from that time, although we paid for those half a day that we were not at the hotel in the end.
Not a pleasant situation at night where else to go. It's good that they delivered our luggage to the hotel on their own;
• The hotel is very small;
• Reception and "restaurant", the place where breakfasts are held together in one room;
• We were given a room with a balcony on the 4th floor due to a night jamb with a view of another hotel opposite;

• Soundproofing is poor, you can hear everything especially late in the evening when everyone goes around banging on doors and you can hear how the neighbors are talking, respectively;
the room is small, the bathroom, respectively, too, she broke her knee in the shower, although she herself is thin;
• The furniture is already a little shabby, everything is very close, uncomfortable, the bed for two is quite small, but you can live;
• Cleaning every day, accessories were reported in the bathroom, but there was no glass for toothbrushes and no toothpaste at all, so take it with you or buy it there;
• There is no iron in the hotel at all, which surprised me, it's good that they passed by the laundry and stroked there for 3 lira 1 thing, go left through the Katelya Hotel, then there will be a sign, in the same direction there is a bank with a good exchange rate, the bank cooperates with Sberbank;
• The staff always smiled, greeted, answered questions, apologized if something was wrong. Communication took place in Russian-English;
• Breakfasts are very modest indeed, I myself am not a fan of eating a lot, but it’s even difficult to choose here, a whole table with different sauces I don’t understand why, it would be better if they made more pastries or vegetables;
• The restaurant on the roof did not work unfortunately, but we went up to see, from there a beautiful view of the Bosphorus and the Blue Mosque;
• Take guidebooks and maps at the airport there for free, at the hotel everything is paid;
• We asked to order a taxi to the hotel to go to the airport, we did it and for that we thank them very much. If you go from the hotel, the cost will be 25 euros (78 lira), and we arrived for only 40 lira, but the taxi driver took 45 for some reason, he was cunning and arrogant. So do the same, otherwise there are companies on both sides of the hotel whose individual transfer costs the same amount of 25 euros.
In general, for the price of the hotel, of course, you should not expect more. Clean, convenient location, helpful staff. But there are disadvantages that I just voiced, maybe for many they will seem unimportant, just know what it can be.
