I didn't like the hotel, in my opinion, the rating in Yandex is too high.
Specifically
Minuses:
- I would not call it a hotel, rather, a hostel with individual rooms above the restaurant.
- the room is small and stuffy
"the maid hasn't come in three nights."
- for three nights they didn't find a towel (!), although they promised every day
- the "tired" room
was not very important to me, my family was in the hotel next door, in fact, I only slept in this room for two nights, but under other circumstances I would have been unhappy and with unjustified expectations
- the audibility is very good (but this is a feature of all hotels in the area)
Positive:
- the restaurant itself has decent food, and the breakfasts are also normal
- location
- price
The Internet is normal, but I didn't have video conferences over the weekend, I used messengers, and I had my own backup Internet; the circles didn't load very quickly)
We are not talking about four stars.

Be careful and don't trust anyone. Change the money yourself in the exchanger. Book walks and excursions yourself!
If you want to spoil your vacation, then you should definitely visit this hotel.
Ahead of the description of the hotel as a whole, I want to say that we were cheated out of $ 920 by a man who introduced himself as an employee of this hotel, although he has not been an employee for a very long time (he was fired), but has free access to the hotel (I freely enter the hotel). The Istanbul police will not help you in this case, you will lose strength, nerves, time and money! Be careful of everything! And to everyone !
And as for the hotel itself, as someone who has visited Istanbul enough times, I will say:
There are plenty of hotels in Istanbul! For different pockets!
I do not recommend this hotel at all.
The breakfasts are the same, nothing changes at all. you will be served tea, scrambled eggs, a plate of cheese, old French fries and several sauces. And so it is every day. The rooms are not cleaned. During our 5-day stay, the trash was never taken out of our room. The rooms are dirty, the towels are dirty. There are a bunch of hotels in the Fatih area that are much better than this one.

The hotel is located 5 minutes from Topkapi and within walking distance of other Istanbul attractions, which is very convenient. There is also a 5-7-minute metro and tram stop. The room is clean and tidy, the bed is comfortable. The bed linen seems to have been changed every 2 days, towels every day. Gel, shampoo, soap and shower caps were put on every day. Two bottles of water are replenished daily. The room has slippers, a refrigerator, a kettle, cups, tea and instant coffee. Breakfast is the same every day, but hearty and delicious. Friendly and helpful staff. They help to resolve issues if they arise. They speak English, there is also a Russian-speaking administrator, but apparently work shifts and he does not always happen. I would especially like to thank the Hazem administrator for his participation, responsiveness and friendliness. I recommend the hotel, just like visiting Istanbul :)
