We stayed at this hotel in March 2024. The hotel opened in 2019 and generally leaves a pleasant impression. Large rooms in an expensive and rich style))), central air conditioning system (I hate split systems), good breakfasts from 6.30 to 10.30. Upon check-in, they asked for a deposit of 100 euros, this is the first time I've met with such a person. If you buy food, it is better to hide it in a bag so that it is not visible. The hotel has some kind of internal rules prohibiting food from being brought in. One tourist has already written about it in the reviews. The hotel is not within walking distance of the main attractions, you will have to travel at least 4 tram stops. If you want to go out in the evening and walk in the historical center, then this hotel is not for you. The tram stop is 300 meters away (exit and turn right). There are terminals for the sale and replenishment of travel cards in front of the turnstiles at the stop. The terminals have a choice of Russian language. As far as I remember, I chose the topmost item from the menu Card + the rest of the money on it. I inserted a 200 lira bill, 70 was debited for the card, 130 was credited to the account. In the future, to replenish it, you just need to attach it to a special place on the terminal on the right and insert a bill, the card will be replenished. Several people can use one card, just put it to the turnstile and go through, 17.7 liras will be debited. At the same time, the current balance is displayed on the turnstile. You can eat in two nearby cafes. One to the right from the hotel through the house (next to the pizzeria) is called Atalarimiz, the second to the left from the hotel, walk 30 meters and there will be a Suleymaniye restaurant on the left. You can also eat in the hotel restaurant, there are dishes at an affordable price, they give you a tablet with a menu with pictures, you will figure it out.
A cozy and beautiful hotel. The staff is polite. It is located in the center of Istanbul, almost within walking distance of popular attractions and is quiet, which is very pleasing. We were in December 2022. We are going for the second time in May 2024.
In general, a very good housing option. Excellent breakfast. Friendly reception.
"Nuances":
- very weak sound insulation between the rooms.
- it is no longer very fresh repairs in the bathrooms and there is no prevention of fixing and repairing everything by engineers. Only when it doesn't work at all or has fallen off, then they can come on call ...
- location in a religious area, separate husband-wife spa.
