We were on holidays in February. The photos are real and fully match the site. The weather was from 0 to -2 outside, and it was incredibly cold in the rooms. The air conditioner, which we did not turn off even when we left the room, helped a little. We have never been able to eat breakfast, although it was in the description, you go down in the morning and there has never been anyone on the first floor, neither employees nor guests. The windows overlook the buildings and you can only see the rusty air conditioners of other buildings, but we didn't come to stay in the room, but to see the beauty of the city. Will I check into this room again? My answer is yes if the weather is 10 degrees outside and above. As for breakfast in Istanbul, you will not stay hungry either, you can always eat in local cafes.

To begin with, I booked a more expensive room, an apartment with a kitchen and cooking utensils. Upon check-in, they settled in a regular room, without a kitchen, which was initially cheaper. They couldn't relocate, no matter how busy everything was, they offered another option with a non-working kitchen and a room of worse quality, of course, no one returned the difference. Solid 3 stars. One star for the friendliness and friendliness of the staff (by the way, they don't speak Russian), the second for the fact that the room is large, two-room and a good mattress, the double door saved from noise on the stairs, by the way, there is an elevator, and the third for the very good location, super close to Taksim Square. That's all. The rooms are renovated, but they need to be improved, wires are sticking out somewhere, holes and stains on the bed linen, tablecloths, cleanliness is average, towels are gray, furniture is worn, a sofa is worn, a shelf in the bathroom is cracked, there is a kettle, but the outlet is made at such a distance that you do not turn it on, you have to wear it into another room. Be prepared that the music is playing there until 1-2 nights, but from morning until about 10 it's quiet) The most negative impression was left by the terrible cold in the room, the air conditioner does not heat, it is draughty through the windows, and it would be warmer outside if it were not for the cold, you could close your eyes to the scuffs.
