Hi all. So we decided to break away from Kyiv for a couple of days and fly to a country that does not require visas, does not require booking, does not require warm clothes, and most importantly, not a beach holiday. The choice clearly fell on Turkey Istanbul. The hotel was chosen in such a way that it was close to the center to the sea and to the Russian quarter, the Lyaleli shopping quarter.

Hi all. So we decided to break away from Kyiv for a couple of days and fly to a country that does not require visas, does not require booking, does not require warm clothes, and most importantly, not a beach holiday. The choice clearly fell on Turkey Istanbul. The hotel was chosen in such a way that it was close to the center to the sea and to the Russian quarter, the Lyaleli shopping quarter. Chose between "Kent" and "Antik". The choice fell on Antique because the price - quality was in his favor. The hotel is located in a quiet side street. However, these days Muslims celebrate Ramadan. And opposite the hotel there is a michet from which a prayer service was heard, so much so that the child woke up at night and asked to close the window. The hotel has 5 floors. Two floors down. On which there is a disco and a sauna. However, due to the same Ramadan, the disco did not work. On the roof of the hotel there is a restaurant with a view of the marble sea and the Bosphorus. Each floor is decorated in its own style. What attracts. We lived on the second floor and our rooms were in the Byzantine style. However, the room is not very spacious. The bathroom is equipped of course with many things, but most importantly, it is small. . For a medium-sized person, turning around is already a problem so as not to hook anything. The food at the hotel is purely Turkish, in the morning scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, a couple of yogurts, meat and soy sausages, the girls are still outraged, but very tasty tea. Near the hotel there is a street cafe where everything is much tastier and cheaper. So if you are in the hotel area, I recommend not going to the cafe on the first line, but on the second. Everything is way cheaper. Not to mention the speed of service and ending with an assortment of delicious meat. It is very difficult to write something about the chain of boutiques, as it is simply chic. All the novelties of the world fashion are on sale. For shopaholics, it's heaven.

My husband and I decided to celebrate our thirtieth wedding anniversary abroad. Since we love historical places, the choice fell on Istanbul. We stayed at the Antik 4 **** hotel, Laleli district. The hotel is just wonderful. We were seated immediately within 10 minutes. Polite staff. The room was clean and pleasantly surprised, the room was exactly as in the promotional booklet.

My husband and I decided to celebrate our thirtieth wedding anniversary abroad. Since we love historical places, the choice fell on Istanbul. We stayed at the Antik 4 **** hotel, Laleli district. The hotel is just wonderful. We were seated immediately within 10 minutes. Polite staff. The room was clean and pleasantly surprised, the room was exactly as in the promotional booklet. The room has a safe (free of charge), TV (Russian channels - 2), hair dryer, telephone, air conditioning. Bed linen and towels were changed every day. We left $1 on the table in gratitude. The hotel has a bar and a restaurant. There is an elevator. The breakfast was very tasty and plentiful. The buffet included: cheeses and cheeses of 6-7 types, sausages and sausages, scrambled eggs, boiled eggs, jams, yogurts, nuts, dried fruits (dried apricots, raisins, dates), fresh fruits (watermelon, apples, peaches, etc. ). etc. ), fresh pastries, tea, coffee, delicious vanilla and chocolate mousses. The only downside is the bad internet. Very low speed. But it was a trifle against the backdrop of positive emotions.
The hotel is located opposite Istanbul University. Although it is a shopping area, it is very quiet. Tram stop nearby. If you walk along the tram tracks 50 meters, then the Grand Bazaar will be on the left. If you walk another 150-200 meters, you will get to Sultanahmed Square. There are many fountains in the park. Opposite the central fountain, on one side, is the Blue Mosque, and on the other, Hai Sophia. Across the road from Hai Sophia is the nondescript entrance to Yerebatan. The entrance is nondescript, and the impressions are dizzying. In Yerebatan, you can take a photo for memory in national Turkish costumes. Which is what we did. We will continue our way further along the tram tracks. Because Since we came to get acquainted with the city, most of the walks were on foot. So, we went to the Eminonu pier. Here, many people have been calling for cruises on the Bosphorus on a private boat. It is also worth looking at the city from the height of the Galata Tower, walking along Istiklal Street, visiting the Dolmabahce and Topkapi complexes. We were very pleased with this trip. It was like being in a fairy tale. And we advise everyone to go to Istanbul and settle in the Antik Hotel. You will not regret.

I chose the hotel and did not lose, it is located in a side street, next to a tram stop, from where you can get to any historical place. There were enough breakfasts, the view from the restaurant was beautiful, it opened on the marble sea, the breakfasts were pleasant. The rooms seemed small, but not deadly, the interior is excellent.

I advise the hotel, but next I would choose either Dark Hill or closer to the center
