It was really nice and pleasant stay. Everything was clean, everyone was kind a helpful. Thanks to Mrs. Gonca Karahan for asking what she can do for us and for making our last day unforgettable.
A good chain hotel, I recommend you to stay. I will write a few points that you should pay attention to.
1. The hotel is somewhat tired cosmetically - furniture, fittings, plumbing. Electrics, household appliances work flawlessly. Bed linen, towels, etc. are fresh, not killed. Subjectively, the hotel looks like a good 4 stars.
2. The breakfasts are excellent - a huge selection of cold snacks and hot dishes, lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, Turkish pastries and other national dishes. Everything is delicious. There are no freshly squeezed juices on the buffet - ask the staff, they will do it. There is no sparkling wine and baklava/lukuma.
3. Cleaning - if you're lucky. According to the time spontaneously, there was a case that there was a knock on the door at 9 am. It is better to hang a sign not to disturb.
3. Good spa complex - sauna, steam room, Turkish hammam. It is included in the accommodation. There is no pool.
4. Toothbrushes, shaving kits, bathrobes, etc. are brought to the room on request for free.
5. Comfortable beds and blackout curtains.
6. Tram stop T1 to the center in front of the hotel, the center itself is also within walking distance. Metro Vezneciler 7min walk.
7. It is impossible to drive a taxi under the hotel canopy, call to the back side without any problems. The hotel does not have its own territory.
8. Stable Wi-Fi with partial coverage of the area around the hotel.
9. There were no Russian-speaking staff.
The additional one is the attentive and responsive staff. The 5th day of the stay fell on a birthday, an incredibly delicious chocolate cake with a candle was brought out at breakfast as a greeting from the hotel. The two of them overcame only half of the cake, the rest was kindly wrapped up by themselves.
A very nice hotel. The rooms are equipped with everything you need. Purity. It is also very convenient that there is a tram line passing through the main places - the Grand Bazaar, the Blue Mosque, Galata, etc. 10-15 minutes walk from the metro. The Grand Bazaar is actually across the street. The price corresponds to the quality. Keep in mind that when we lived there (January 2024), the sidewalk was being repaired around. Therefore, the taxi drove up to the alley, and not to the hotel itself. They didn't take breakfast. We went to have breakfast at MADO. I recommend it for both tourism and business.
