It is a 35-year-old hotel. I chose this hotel specifically because I wanted to experience what a traditional Turkish hotel is like. The design of the hall is very chronological. The large crystal chandeliers and the murals from the Ottoman Empire make people feel a very strong sense of culture. The wooden spiral staircase leading from the lobby to the restaurant on the second floor also has a European feel. It was evening when we checked in, and the weather was getting colder. The front desk thoughtfully prepared Turkish coffee and tea for selection.
There is actually the No. 1 Chinese restaurant in Istanbul near the hotel, Loulan Lanzhou Ramen. Since I had just gotten off the plane, I was cold and hungry, so I went straight to the restaurant and found that there was a huge queue. After finishing a bowl of hot ramen, I felt very satisfied. The ramen is also very cost-effective, equivalent to more than 20 yuan, so there were many people queuing up.
The hotel is close to the Topkapi subway station, so there are many local small restaurants, and there is also a mini Carrefour. Pomegranates and grapefruits cost about 2 yuan a pound, which is very satisfying. The hotel is located in the old town, so there are many uphill and downhill paths, which gives you a unique experience when walking.
The room facilities are very old, and even the clean towels are a bit gray. They are very similar to domestic Home Inns, and the disposable supplies provided look very cheap. The bathroom is an old-fashioned bathtub, which is inconvenient to use.
For breakfast, Chinese people are really not used to it. There are mostly cold cuts, and hot dishes are braised sausages and fried cheese. After staying for three days, I lost my appetite for breakfast at the end. Therefore, it is recommended that if you choose a very traditional Turkish hotel, you should be prepared to not be used to eating breakfast.
