Excellent hotel, new, clean, with an elevator, no noise or heavy traffic, sea air and clean. On the day of arrival, early in the morning we were offered breakfast; we were given a room with a sea view, although we had booked with a view of the city. It's very nice that the staff took such care of us. In the first two days, the road to the hotel seemed difficult; our orientation was not very good. I remembered the film “The Diamond Arm”, where Nikulin got confused in the streets of Istanbul. But this is a kind of acquaintance with the ancient part of the city, beautiful streets, houses. No worse than the advertised Asian part of Istanbul, where it is very noisy and crowds of tourists. Prices here are also lower than in tourist spots located very close by. The easiest road, in our opinion, is straight, wide and flat, 15-20 minutes walk to the hotel: from the T1 Beyazit tram stop, where the Grand Bazaar is located (and not from the Cemberlitas stop), go straight in the direction of the sea and turn once, along the path will be Kadirga Parke. Although both stops are very close to each other. You can ask the locals for directions from the hotel, where the Grand Bazaar is, everyone will show you. The people here are very friendly and helpful. This is if there are problems, but after a couple of days, even for those like us who have poor orientation, it went like clockwork. The same tram T1 goes to the berths of the ships, and the bus BN1 goes there along the sea. For breakfast, you can ask for an omelet, hot eggs, French fries, sausages, tea, coffee, cappuccino, etc.
