Place
We chose this hotel because of its central location and the view of the Bosphorus. The location is really good, the only thing is that if you want to walk and go somewhere to tourist places, you have to go right out of the hotel. To the left - stink and garbage.
Rooms
The hotel has 5 stars in the booking. Don't believe it, it's an honest 3+.
Small rooms with an area of 25 meters, non-lockable bathroom. In one of the rooms, a stench was coming from the drain in the shower. There was no shower gel in the shower, it was a sad evening discovery. The morning request to bring shower gel was met with an exclamation of "OK", but it was fulfilled after an additional reminder.
The bed is of medium severity, by default cotton pillows and the same blanket. A special "fu" deserves the sheets, whose size turned out to be insufficient to tuck under the mattress. That is, if you spin around at night, there is a chance to wake up on a mattress pad, but since its size is much smaller than a sheet, then on a bare mattress. The ghost of comfort on the bedside table is a mini questionnaire, according to which you can choose another (including down) blanket and pillows. But as it turned out, this questionnaire is exclusively for beauty. Houskeeping was not interested in the completed form. It is sad that this turned out in the evening after houskeeping "went home." Another of the disadvantages is that for some reason all the towels were damp. And not to say that Istanbul is super humid)). Riddle.
There is a tram running under the windows of the hotel. He begins to walk with the characteristic tinkling of the clock at 5 a.m., quite often - just when you have time to re-immerse yourself in sleep.
In principle, the price of this hotel corresponds to the quality, that is, it is not necessary to expect something steeper for ~ 130 euros per day. You can stay for 1, maximum 2 nights, considering that you only come to the hotel to sleep. I do not recommend it for a longer period. I'm definitely not coming back myself.
Breakfast
The coolest thing at breakfast is the view of the Bosphorus. That's it.
Breakfast is served until 10:30 with the immediate cessation of food. The son came at 10:30 and a tray with ready-made scrambled eggs was taken away in front of his nose. The request to stay for a second was answered by the "service closet". The tray was placed on another table, where it continued to stand until we left breakfast.
The staff does not speak English at all. They asked for a fork 3 times. Staff smiled, nodded and walked away, not realizing that you can ask a colleague to help if you don't understand.
It's not tasty and it's very hot.
By the way. When booking, it was written that breakfast costs 7 euros. In fact - 17 euros. A trifle, but a fact.
The contingent
Russians were not met at all, either locals or Arabs.
Around the hotel
Next to the hotel (5 minutes on foot) there is a large Galataport, where there are many cafes, restaurants, shops with a pier for large cruise liners. A clean, cozy space. I highly recommend it for an evening walk and dinner. Or lunch.
If you go through the port, you can find a pedestrian street with lots of cafes and restaurants. There are also good hotels there.

The hotel is already a bit "stale".
Towels and bed linen are shabby.
The breakfasts were terrible: very meager, if you came later, then the choice was even more reduced, plus their equipment was not working, so all the dishes were cold. The administration tried to do something, but it didn't help.
On the plus side: stunning views of the Bosphorus

The service is terrible. They ruined the birthday. They didn't let the makeup artist into the room, but there was supposed to be a photo shoot on his birthday. At the reception, they demanded $ 50 for the makeup artist to come into the room. Terrible attitude towards the guests.

Видовой прекрасно расположенный отель. В шаговой доступности все достопримечательности улицы Истикляль. Завтраки подкачали, но это не критично. Сидя на балконе чувствуешь текучее биение жизни города

Достойный завтрак. Шикарная терраса, но кофе на ней выпить нельзя. Бассейна нет

В январе заселились в отель, ожидания не соответствуют действительности. При бронировании просили номер с красивым видом - в итоге дали с видом на стройку. На ресепшене сказали, что этого прописано нигде не было, хотя мы отправляли запрос и писали это. Убирались очень плохо, я не против оставить чаевые, но было бы за что. В ресторане на завтраках официанты постоянно игнорировали наши просьбы принести чай или кофе. Как только договорились о том, чтобы переселить нас с администратором на ресепшене, он пообещал нам что 100% нам дадут другой номер на следующий день. Мы пришли, там уже был другой администратор - нам отказали. Постоянно забывали приносить воду, стакана и ложки, приходилось звонить по несколько раз, просить принести, а то с первого звонка никто не приносил, напоминали. В общем 5 звёзд с таким сервисом и близко не было

Делюкс номер с видом на стену отеля из одного окна, с видом на стройку из другого. Переселять отказались даже за деньги.
