We were at the hotel in March 2024. For some reason, the moderators set the date 2022. This is wrong.
I'll start with an unpleasant impression, to which the hotel has an indirect relationship. We arrived at Sabiha Airport... far away... They asked the hotel to book a transfer. And the hotel even ordered it. However, no one met us, we waited at the airport at the place indicated by the driver (earlier in the correspondence) for 30 minutes... We realized that we had to get there ourselves. Communication with taxi drivers is not the most pleasant... in general, hope for the hotel, but don't mess up yourself.
Now about the hotel.
I booked at the booking office with cash payment upon check-in.
In correspondence, I was told that the cost of breakfast at the hotel is 10% of the room price. In our version, it was suitable for the price, otherwise I would have chosen a hotel with breakfast, and I chose it. However, when checking in, everything did not happen like that. They started explaining to me that my room was paid for at a discount, but here everything is at a different price. As a result, + 10€ per day. Not fatal, but unpleasant. I repeat that for less money there were hotels with breakfasts.
One of the advantages is the proximity of attractions: even towards Sultanahmet Square, even towards the sea and Galata Tower.
Number... basically, everything you need was in the room. In the bathroom, shampoo and gel are in the form of foam, convenient and unusual. TV, refrigerator, wardrobe, safe, air conditioning, which we installed for heat. There was also a kettle with cups, tea, coffee. The beds are clean and beautiful. There was a 1.5L bottle of water when checking in. This is a plus.
There are a couple of Russian channels with real news on the TV. (Why I emphasize this - we have also met "anti-Russian" channels abroad).
And now it's time to use a hair dryer... the wires were already falling out of it. It was scary to touch it, let alone turn it on.
I read our flash drive on TV, but I didn't show any movies.
Cleaning. The room was cleaned not every day, but every other day. Replenished the supply of tea and coffee.
I would like to note separately the always positive administrator Osman, who is ready to help solve all problems.
The hotel has good Wi-Fi both in the rooms and in the lobby.
We had breakfast in a cafe next to the hotel and a couple of times in the hotel itself. For 10€, the breakfast included a traditional Turkish breakfast with a set of all sorts of different elements: 3 cheeses, 1 sausage, two types of olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggs, bread, 2 juices, coffee. In general, the same standard set as in other hotels, included in the "breakfast at the hotel" package and cheaper. On the street, for this money, we had a cooked omelet, Turkish brewed coffee and freshly squeezed juice.
There are several tiny cafes near the hotel, like a snack bar, but the food there is not bad. Especially on the street from the hotel side.
Tips: A nearby hammam is expensive, you can find it cheaper if anyone is interested.
By the way, if you go from the hotel through the train station to the sea, then there is a boat ride of 150 lira. The Sultanahmet Square was offered for 20€.
Russians are well treated in Turkey.
To sum up, in general, the hotel left a positive impression.

Great, I definitely recommend it.
Clean, there is everything you need: refrigerator, hairdryer, kettle, slippers, elevator.
A hearty and delicious breakfast. There is a terrace on the roof, overlooking the Bosphorus, you can have breakfast or dinner. There is an elevator. The hotel staff is above praise, they will always help. The location is excellent, 5 minutes from Sultanahmet Square.
