We stayed at the hotel from February 18 to February 24. The check-in was quick, the owner was very responsive, explained everything, showed everything. The hotel has an excellent location- transportation, main attractions, cafes, markets, despite the location in the central part, the hotel itself is on a quiet street. Breakfast is a buffet, everything is always delicious and fresh. For coffee lovers- instant coffee only. Breakfast on the terrace with a beautiful view of the Galata Tower. The room is clean and has everything you need (refrigerator, safe, slippers, hairdryer) change of towels every day. It was very warm, even had to be ventilated) My impressions are extremely positive

I went to Istanbul on 28.01-31.01 2025. I was looking for an inexpensive hotel in Istanbul (just to spend the night).While reading reviews on Yandex, I came across the Istanbul Central Hotel.The price was pleasantly surprised-99 euros for 3 nights for two (similar hotels are 60-100% more expensive) The location is great, everything is nearby (the Blue Mosque 8-10 minutes at a leisurely pace, the Grand Bazaar too).I booked a room with payment upon arrival.Before the trip, the owner of the Gekai Hotel contacted me, confirmed the reservation, and offered a transfer from the Airport.Upon arrival at the hotel, all expectations from him were fully fulfilled.The host is a kind, helpful person, standard breakfasts for economy hotels (eggs, vegetables, coffee, sausages, French fries, etc.)You definitely won't stay hungry.I've been to Istanbul several times before, but I didn't get a chance to see the city, so I took an all-day tour right at the hotel.Gekai made a $20 discount for two people.it turned out to be 160 dollars .(by the way, the entrance to the HAGIA SOPHIA mosque COSTS 25 EUROS without a guide)We've been to 7-8 places. I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND this hotel!!!!! Oh, by the way, the hotel has a beautiful view of Istanbul (especially at night)
