Excellent service and friendly services.

The hotel is located in the Fatih district, near the metro station.Sirkegi. The hotel is small, but quite cozy. All the sights of historical places are within walking distance. Sultanahmet Square, Gulhane Park, Topkapi, Eminenyu Marina, Galata Bridge, Grand Bazaar and Egyptian Market.
Not far from the T1 tram stop, Marmaray (Sirkeci station) is just around the corner, the metro is 20-25 minutes away. walking.
The breakfasts are quite normal, buffet style, on a terrace of 4 floors with a partial view of the city.
The manager of the hotel Gekai is very contact, speaks Russian well. Advises on any questions: where, when, how to get there, where to eat, etc
By the way, 300 m. There is an inexpensive BalkanLocanta from the hotel, where you can eat inexpensively and deliciously. As well as a number of small cafes and eateries with street food with reasonable prices

The location is great, the central part, but not noisy. Within walking distance of the metro, the Egyptian market and the marinas. The food is standard. Eggs, sausages, cheese, olives, lettuce, etc. Monotonous, but very native)). The administrator Gekkai is very kind, speaks Russian very well. He will always help with any questions. The veranda on the top floor is open until 24-00. You can sit with a company or just eat your own food.
There is a hairdryer in the room, tea and coffee at the reception are always available for free. There are no hygiene kits. There is only shampoo and shower gel in a filling container.
Among the disadvantages are cleaning (garbage is not cleaned at all), the quality of bed linen and sound insulation.
The hotel is wonderful for its money.

Excellent price-quality ratio. The hotel is within walking distance of attractions and metro with tram. Migros is nearby, but it's best to go to greens, there's a drunk there. Friendly staff. There are simple breakfasts, but nevertheless it will be enough.
Yes, there is a tired renovation here, but considering all the advantages for a small cost, it should not be considered a minus, since the hotel is only for spending the night.

The hotel meets all the requirements of a budget Istanbul hotel. Eminenyu station, Galata Bridge, Egyptian bazaar are within walking distance. There is a metro station nearby. There are Russian-speaking staff at the reception, a transfer to the airport was ordered for us. We reached the new airport in an hour. The rooms are not large, but in Istanbul you stay in the room only at night. Breakfast is served on the 4th floor, and you can also sit there in the evening. Towels were changed every day, now not all fives have such luxury. In general, I liked the hotel.

Hello everyone) This was my first trip abroad, to Istanbul. I chose the hotel based on reviews and excellent location, and the administrator speaks excellent Russian 👍
I booked an economy class without a window (there are towels, slippers, gel,shampoo, air conditioning, refrigerator, safe), but upon arrival, I was given a room with a window, for which I am very grateful to him, he is such a good person, he will always prompt and help.
The hotel provides breakfast (eggs, salad, sausages in tomato sauce,olives, sausage, 2 types of cheeses, vegetables : cucumbers and tomatoes, 2 types of bread, very tasty bran, drinks:tea, coffee, lemonade, believe me, it's very convenient.
They take place on the terrace under the roof, the view from above is unrealistically beautiful for the whole city, you can see the Topkapi Palace, the Galata Tower and the Bosphorus Strait, you can feed the seagulls right from your hands, they are huge there and wake up in the morning with their conversations. Tk all the sights, pharmacies, supermarket, metro station are within walking distance, I only spent the night in the room, the rest of the time I walked a lot, I went around all the European and Asian parts in two days. I sailed on a ship through the Bosphorus Strait, it's unrealistically cool.
The hotel has Wi-Fi, it really saved me, because the connection and the Internet did not work for me. Although I bought a Megafon SIM card just for the trip, but alas.
At the hotel, Gokai gave me a map of the city's districts and with the map I built routes for my trip. I really liked it, I will definitely come to the hotel more than once. I recommend it to everyone🤗

I liked the hotel for its convenient location to attractions, the Bosphorus, cafes, shops.
There is a metro station nearby.
The hotel itself is clean and pleasant. The room is cleaned every day. The room has everything you need, including gel, shampoo, slippers, hair dryer.
The breakfast is hearty, on the fourth floor with a wonderful view of the city.
The hotel is great for having a good breakfast and going for a walk around Istanbul, and coming back in the evening and getting a good night's sleep.
Separately, I would like to note the friendly attitude of the hotel staff, who are always ready to help and answer questions.
I would especially like to express my gratitude to the owner of the hotel, Gekai, for the hospitable reception and attentive attitude.

Many thanks to the manager, Gekai, a very friendly person who, after booking, immediately wrote to WhatsApp, speaks Russian, and will tell you everything. The hotel is clean, there is shower gel, shampoo, towels, slippers. In the morning, breakfast (buffet). The hotel itself is in the center of the old town, near the tram stop, from which you can get to all the main attractions (they can also be reached on foot, everything is nearby). Also nearby is the Bosphorus, where you can take a ferry for a walk or to move to another part of the city. I recommend it!

Initially, I chose a hotel in Istanbul based on the number of reviews on Russian aggregators. The choice fell on this hotel. And not to say that I lost it. By the way, perhaps at the expense of Yandex, practically only Russians rest here. There was also a trace of the owner, who speaks Russian very well. And there's a nice guy Burke at the reception. We chatted with him for hours about everything and nothing in English. If you talk to him, give him my regards.
As for the economy class room with one double bed: it is located in the basement, but there is no dampness. Unless the window is not conveniently located, but this is not so important. Overall, the room is clean. Daily cleaning service. It may seem a little cramped, but it's not critical. There is a safe.
The breakfasts are hearty, but monotonous. They don't change from day to day. And there is no juice or water at breakfast. Only Turkish powdered drink and tea. But in general, everything is delicious. I was satisfied. And the view from the top floor, where breakfast is served, is amazing.
The best thing is the location. 7 minutes walk to the port, 30 minutes to Istiklal, the main mosques of the city are also 10 minutes away.

A great vacation! We had a rest at the hotel a few days ago. Location: the historical part of the city, attractions (Topkapi Palace, Mosques, Grand Bazaar, Egyptian Bazaar, Basilica Cisterns, etc.) are all within walking distance. There is a tram stop nearby, from which they left for the airport with transfers by metro, as well as to the European part to the Galata Tower. The marina of Emine is also nearby, from which you could go by ferry. Perfect! Shops, exchangers are all nearby, the same Migros. There is a budget dining room in a couple of minutes, but sooo delicious dishes! The room was small, but at the same time there was nothing superfluous (bed, bedside tables, safe, refrigerator, good bathroom). Cleaning was carried out every day! The breakfasts are monotonous, but delicious and you will not stay hungry (eggs, sausages in tomatoes, French fries, olivier, cheeses, sausage, cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, butter, jam, chocolate, tea, coffee, bread). What I liked the most: a wonderful man at the reception (unfortunately, I did not ask his name). He was very friendly, prompted me, told me about Istanbul. Thank you so much for the warm welcome!!!

A great small hotel for a budget trip :) Yes, if you look closely, everything is tired, but! Everything you need for a comfortable stay is there. We came to walk around the city, not to sit in the room :) Gekai and his Colleague are good-natured, polite and ready to help. The room is not big, but it has everything you need - clean linen, comfortable mattresses, daily change of towels, safe, refrigerator, hair dryer, slippers, shower gel, soap, shampoo :) the breakfasts are simple but delicious: olivier, cucumbers, tomatoes, French fries, boiled eggs, sausages in sauce, herbs, apples, fresh bread, butter, jam, Fine tea. The best part was that in February it was cold and humid outside, and the room was very warm :) near the hotel there is a supermarket migros, many places where you can eat, buy souvenirs :) t1 tram stops and the main attractions are all nearby:) We sincerely thank Istanbul Central Hotel for its hospitality :)

Excellent hotel with Russian-speaking staff, very clean, cleaning and changing towels every day. Polite staff. Breakfast included, buffet. Free Wi-Fi, two TV channels in Russian. In the historical center of Istanbul. From the minuses, walk uphill to the hotel. Monotonous breakfast menu. We were with a family of 3 people, the room is small, but for its price it is more than enough. We only spent the night, and the rest of the time we walked around historical places. Attention do not confuse with Istanbul centrum hotel!! First purchased there. We recommend it. You can be debited by e-mail, without prepayment, payment only in cash, it is possible in euros.

We stayed from February 29th to March 3rd. We were very satisfied with the hotel, a good budget hotel, has everything you need to stay. The breakfasts were good, I had a snack and went for a walk. We mostly walked around the city, so we only slept at the hotel, but it was cozy and comfortable there. A huge plus for us is the Russian-speaking manager, he helped a lot, told us where to go and answered our questions
We were satisfied, we will definitely come again)

The hotel is close to the sights, tram, metro, ferries are all nearby. At the same time, on a quiet street. Breakfast is no frills, but quite enough. There is an elevator. Things can be left if the flight is late. 2* hotel- don't expect more. It fully corresponds. It is quite enough for a budget holiday.

I stayed at the hotel for 6 days. The price corresponds to the quality by 100%. A solid five. There is something to compare it with. The location is excellent for the center of historical Istanbul. I appreciate the service, food, room, cleanliness and so on - I am extremely satisfied!!! Thanks to Hecai! He helped with everything. (20-26.04.2024) Arkady, Russia, Krasnodar.

What kind of Russian-speaking staff can we talk about! I'm here now, it's a lie!!! Arrived on July 31st. Connection problem, paid WI-FI, $12 for 7 days. Attitude, we arrived in the evening, no one speaks Russian, the rooms are dirty, instead of the standard they gave economy for 3 people, barely fits, the problem is at the reception. And stop lying there already! The beach wants the best, no infrastructure, at least neighboring with boats, water equipment, small umbrellas, closing cafes and a small space, and yes, there is a neighboring equipped beach of another hotel in the photo. Gentlemen, it's up to you to decide on the outcome

Great location, friendly staff. Daily cleaning and change of towels. Not bad, but monotonous breakfasts on the covered terrace. The rooms are small, with outdated furniture. For the picky tourist, a good accommodation option in the historical center of Istanbul. Sultanahmet, Egyptian Market, Galata Bridge, tram are within walking distance.

Были 3 дня в этом отеле. Довольны. Недорого. На ресепшене русскоговорящие люди. Чудесный завтрак с отличным видом на Босфор. Комнаты чистые, белье хорошее. Отличное расположение. Метро рядом в 3 минутах. Ветка Мармарей. До Галатского моста 10-15 минут пешком. Рядом рынки. Но лучше ходить у мечети Сулеймани, там дешевле. Цена за отель очень приятные.
Если надо доехать до Гекчена аэропорта можно на ресепшене попросить заказать Жёлтое такси за 30 евро. Это недорого.

Lovely little hotel! Stayed with friends in September. The rooms are clean, cleaned every day. I crushed 4 ants in the bathroom, but I didn't see them anymore. The location is excellent - the very center, a little noisy if the windows overlook the neighboring hotel, but these are trifles.
Special thanks to Gekai, we agreed on an honest deal that we would come and pay in cash, despite the fact that the reservation was made through a well-known website from which it is no longer possible to pay with Russian cards. By the way, Gekai speaks Russian well, asked if it was the first time we came to Istanbul, told us what to see nearby and gave a map)
The breakfast is small, buffet, but quite delicious!

Отель действительно расположен в тихом месте, все главные достопримечательности находятся в 900 метрах, номер убирается, полотенца меняются, завтрак приемлемый. Однако нам был предоставлен номер совершенно не тот, что изображен на сайте. Номер как комната в дешевом хостеле: расположен на 1 этаже и выходит на задний двор, окно смотрит на глухую стену, телевизор не работает, холодильника нет, сейфа нет (обо всем этом заявлено на сайте), стол качается, не возможно на него ничего поставить, нет элементарной посуды, чтобы выпить воды, в ванной комнате нет ни полочек, ни стаканчика, куда можно было бы положить мыло, зубные принадлежности, полотенца и постель застиранные, серого цвета. Номер не стоит тех денег, которые мы за него заплатили.

Очень радушный хозяин. Все говорят по-русски. Помают по любым вопросам. В отеле в январе тепло, есть батареи, вода в душе горячая, обалденно. Стирка стоит 3 евро за кг отдаете белье, через 4 часа все чистое сухое, сложенное.
Завтраки очень хорошие. Номер маленький, но все, что нужно есть. Вайфай хороший.
Рядом все основные достопримечательности.
Окна отеля выходят на тихую пешеходную улицу. Спать ничего не мешает. Большие светлые окна.
Номер стоит 40 евро / ночь. На наших платформах дороже.
Хозяин проводил как родных. Спасибо большое
На озоне покупали , переплатили плюс там завтраки надо было ещё отдельно оплатить. Мы не стали. Но когда приехали завтраки оказались включены в стоимость. Так что не переплачивайте, бронируйте напрямую

Скромный мини-отель вне категории. Номера маленькие, но очень хорошо оборудованные. Есть кондиционеры, холодильники, сейфы, окна оборудованы москитными сетками. Сантехника в порядке. Предлагается скромный завтрак. Есть возможность выпить чаю или кофе, взять бутылку воды. Можно заказать трансфер от и до аэропорта. Персонал очень доброжелательный. Но главное - расположение. Всё близко: основные достопримечательности, транспорт, магазины, кафе. Но при этом отель на тихой улочке, никто не шумит (кроме чаек) и спать не мешает.
