I think that the main advantage of this hotel is its surprisingly hospitable, qualified staff. There are very few reviews about the hotel, so I am writing in detail. , a little further than the Cistern, Sultanahmet Square, to the Egyptian Bazaar and the Suleymaniye Mosque for about 15 minutes. It is very convenient to get around the city by tram, especially if you use the istanbul card. They give this card for 7 lira at the reception and explain how to use it. the money is returned to you. We had one for four. In the morning we walked around the city while it was still light, it gets dark at 5 o'clock, then a tram tour of the shopping centers: Jevahir Canyon, Istinye, back to the hotel late in the evening, you understand all the advantages of a close stop.
About the rooms: the photos of the rooms on the hotel website are completely true, fresh flowers in January, a greeting letter from the general manager with his personal phone on the table, comfortable beds, warm soft blankets, there are light blankets in the closet in the package, snow-white bed linen was changed, it seems that daily, the floors are warm wooden, there are bedside rugs, slippers, bathrobes, toiletries are replenished, a kettle, 2 bottles of water, tea, coffee, a vase with Turkish Delight for free, a minibar for a fee, 3 spacious wardrobes, a TV, the Internet is free; the view from the window is lucky, we and our friends had a view of the courtyard, it suited us, so we only planned to spend the night at the hotel. But in this hotel you can fully relax. A gym with an instructor, an indoor pool where we swam every evening, relieving fatigue after our excursions, a small sauna, a hammam, various types of massage. affairs. In the fitness center in the locker room and different towels and slippers, open until 22.00. Very convenient.
The hotel offers its guests various unusual excursions, a master class from the chef, tasting of local wines and cheeses, information about them in a small newspaper on a table in the restaurant. By the way, at the front door of the hotel there is a large basket with umbrellas, very much appreciated.
The breakfast is impressive. Fresh pastries, cheeses of 7-8 types, homemade butter, cold cuts, breakfast cereals, various nuts, dried fruits, yogurts, compotes, olives, vegetables, fruit salad, fruits, various teas, natural coffee, hot, cold milk, juices apple, peach, tomato, orange - freshly squeezed, omelettes, stewed vegetables, sausages, sausages with vegetables.
There are many cafes and restaurants around the hotel. You can eat safely everywhere, but the hotel restaurant tastes the best of all Ottoman dishes.
We got to the hotel from Sabiha airport for 105 lira by taxi, transfer from the hotel by minibus to the airport 120 lira, order in advance. Try not to use a taxi unless absolutely necessary. , they say, sir, you made a mistake, sir takes 5 lira, gives another 50 bill. The taxi driver leaves quickly, we only then realize that we were deceived.
The most pleasant impression is left by the work of the hotel staff: everyone is professional and friendly. There were no Russians in the hotel besides us. The staff does not speak Russian, but our modest English was enough in the restaurant (menu in English), and at the reception, and in the fitness center. Many thanks to all of them.
