We stayed at the hotel for five nights in early August. After booking, I received an email offering airport transfer services. The hotel itself is located a convenient 3-minute walk from Sultanahmet Square and a 5-minute walk from the T1 tram stop. The uphill walk from the hotel is quite comfortable, not too steep.
On the day of our arrival, we were greeted by Annushka, an incredibly cheerful and friendly Russian-speaking administrator. She immediately gave us a rundown of Istanbul's main attractions, marked places on a map, explained how to get there, and provided informative brochures. The hotel doesn't have an elevator; there's a spiral staircase leading up. This might be a bit uncomfortable with heavy luggage, but my daughter and I only traveled with hand luggage.
We booked room 303, located under the roof. It's a very spacious and bright room with a jacuzzi and an incredible view of the Marmara Sea. Yes, the room's decor isn't the most modern, and there are a few minor imperfections, but what does it matter when you only return there to sleep? You can't leave the window open when you go out – cats from the roof might pay a visit! The air conditioning is present and works. There's only one room on this floor, and directly opposite it is an exit to an open terrace. It's definitely hot there during the day, but in the evening, it's a real pleasure to sit there with a glass of wine. Hot water, toiletries, a large shower, and a hairdryer are all available. Towels were changed daily. The bed linen was white, clean, and fresh, and changed every three days.
Breakfasts are included; they are a bit monotonous, of course, but we never left hungry. There were fresh vegetables, fruits, cheeses, omelets, greens, olives, potatoes, sweets, and tea. If you wish, Anya will brew coffee for you.
Upon checkout, we booked a transfer, as we had accumulated more belongings, and we traveled comfortably to the airport. I sincerely recommend this hotel to those who value pleasant experiences but don't have excessive demands.
A big hello to Anya and her charming dog!
