Reviews
Good breakfast with variety
Friendly staff
The hotel does not turn on the air conditioning upto mid may irrespective of how hot it may get. According to me that's ridiculous!
Location is good. Close to Kabatas and taksim. Can see Bosphorus from some of the rooms.
Location - any transport within walking distance, including the Kabatash pier. Walking distance to Istiklal, Galata Tower, etc. There are shops and cafes nearby.
Amenities in the room - everything you need is there, there were no problems with water, service via QR code
Cleanliness - cleaned every day, towels changed
Breakfast is excellent and quite varied. Vegetables, fruits, cheeses, eggs, sausages, salads, cereals, milk, toppings, jams, muffins, tea, coffee, cocoa.
The staff is friendly, some speak Russian. They will always help you when you contact us.
Minuses:
Noisy - disco in the hotel. On the top floor there is a bar where parties and discos are held every day. You can hear it on all floors and surroundings. Loud music, group songs, clatter of heels (my room was on the 3rd floor, the bar was on the 6th floor, you could hear everything)
Soundproofing - in the morning the staff can be heard outside the room door, my room was near the elevator, the hum and creaking of the elevator when using it caused slight discomfort.
Overall everything is good. The hotel is located in a quiet area. If it weren't for disco, everything would be great.
The administration should think about additional bonuses for guests as compensation for night noise.
Room is small, old and noisy
