Great hotel! Let's start with the location - very close to the tram station (about 200m), near grocery stores and cafes (but we did not go to these cafes), an exchange office with an average exchange rate, within walking distance of the Blue Mosque and the Hagia Sophia Mosque. At the same time, the hotel is located at the back of the courtyard, so it's not noisy! The staff is friendly, speaks a little Russian and English, checked in earlier because the room was ready. Room facilities - we had a very spacious 2-bed room with 2 double beds (we previously specified whether we needed 1 or 2 separate beds), TV, 2 tables, an ottoman, a wardrobe with a safe, towels, a hairdryer, shampoo, gel, soap (all of the same brand with a very pleasant aroma), 2 bedside tables bedside tables, air conditioning, blackout curtains. The curtains were very helpful! Our windows faced the dawn, plus sometimes we slept during the day, with the curtains closed, it was very dark in the room! The only drawback is that there are no towel hooks, a toothbrush cup and chairs on which you can hang things or the same towels to dry. Cleaning - room cleaning with replacement of towels and disposable slippers is carried out daily (this is the first time I've seen this with towels, they are usually changed every 2 days). Breakfast and lounge - breakfasts from 7:30 to 10:30. The usual Turkish breakfast consists of eggs, local cheeses and sausage, cucumbers and tomatoes, salads, milk flakes, some sweets, bread, butter, jam. Coffee tastes like 3in1, or regular instant, although it comes from a coffee machine, tea, water, juices. There is good Wi-Fi in the rooms and lobby. In the lobby (also known as the breakfast lobby) in the evening, they were even allowed to sit with their own food and drinks, but not noisily and with the condition of cleanliness. There is even a small elevator for 2 people or 1+suitcase. The hotel has left the most pleasant impressions! I highly recommend it!

The hotel is located a little away from the noisy streets, there are no crowds of people through the windows. Within a 10-minute walk there is the embankment, Topkapi Palace, Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Arasta Bazaar and Sultanahmet. The rooms are small, clean, daily cleaning. Polite and responsible staff. Breakfasts are like everywhere else, everything is there, everything is delicious. You can leave your suitcases before check-in if the room is not ready earlier. On the downside, we had garbage cans under our windows, which were taken out at 03:00 every night with appropriate noise. The sound insulation leaves much to be desired.

The hotel is good, for 4+. It is located in the old center, near the Blue Mosque. It is located in a relatively quiet side street. There are small shops and cafes and restaurants nearby, as this is the tourist center of the city, prices are high everywhere. The rooms are newly renovated, well-equipped and immaculately clean! Towels were changed every day. The hotel has a normal breakfast, not for gourmets, but we never stayed hungry. The staff is friendly, although they don't speak Russian at all, English is normal, they understand, they speak. The bed has a good mattress, but it's too narrow for adults, probably 150 cm wide at most. The heating was working properly, we stayed at the hotel in early January, we didn't freeze. On the downside: there is no sound insulation at all, earplugs are required! you can't sleep at night without them, a small sink in the bathroom and no towel hooks. The TV in the room wasn't working yet, but it wasn't critical for us. Korsakov was told about the need to repair the TV, he nodded, but in the end, nothing changed in 6 days.
