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

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)
