Hotel Review Overall: a hotel with good service and excellent location, but in need of renovation. , Rooms and the condition of the hotel I agree that the interior is a bit outdated: this can be seen from the furniture and textiles. However, the rooms are clean, the cleaning is daily, and the staff is clear and polite. The hotel consists of two buildings connected by an underground passage. It is very convenient: you can get to the spa or restaurant without going outside. An important caveat: if you are sensitive to the view from the window, ask for a room not on the ground floor — our windows overlooked the passage between the buildings, which created a sense of "life in a showcase." The toilet doors are almost transparent. 📍 Location Location is one of the main advantages. Istiklal is just around the corner. The only physical disadvantage is the steep climb from the entrance to the hotel. This is not a problem for the young, but it can be difficult for the elderly or families with young children. But nearby (5-7 minutes) there is a transport stop and a funicular to the port of Kabatazh and to the T1 tram connecting this coast with the historical part. And of course, the subway. 🍳 Food The breakfasts are hearty and varied, they are quite enough to start the day. Nothing supernatural, but you won't stay hungry. , Spa and fitness The spa area is love at first sight. The ideal water temperature in the pool and saunas makes it the best place to relax after exploring the hilly Istanbul. The fitness center is well equipped, the only disadvantage is that it starts working only at 10:00. 👨‍💼 Service The staff is well-trained, check-in and check-out are carried out without delay. Unfortunately, there were no Russian-speaking employees, but communication in English is smooth.

The hotel is good, but already "tired" in all aspects, everything is kind of worn, the steps creak, the doors are loose, the toilets are leaking. The TV cameras in the room are at least 20 years old (although we didn't come to watch TV, but still). There is a place to wash the laundry, but there is absolutely nowhere to dry it, the heated towel rail in the bathroom does not work, and there are no more options, I had to improvise (an iron and ironing board are available, by the way). The kitchen in the room is not bad, there is even a dishwasher, but there are no dishes themselves, I had to ask for it, the walker is working. The microwave was initially turned off for some reason. Spa complex (swimming pool, sauna and hammam) It's not fresh either. The breakfasts at the hotel are excellent, varied, the choice is large, there is plenty of space, there is a children's room. The staff at the hotel is friendly, there are many Russian-speaking staff, the bed and towels were changed daily, 6 bottles of water were brought in for free every time (even 12 were brought once), tips, for some reason they were not taken. We chose this hotel because of its very convenient location and, in general, we did not lose money, but we can tolerate small things.
