Otel' Sipahi, Стамбул, Турция

It is situated in the centre of the tourist area. All sightseeings are close to the hotel - Aya Sofia, Blue Mosque, Topkapi palace, Basilica cistern, Gulhane park and Sultan Ahmed square with its historical museums, Aya Yorgi Patriarchate church … Galate tower and Dalmabahche palace are easily reached by tram within several minutes. You may also go to Princes’ islands by ferry, it takes one hour and a half. Very clean and cosy place. All the personnel cares about it a lot. As I could notice, people works in a hotel for years. All of them are very polite, friendly and helpful. In case of a problem, ask for an advice or action. You can definitely rely on the personnel efforts to give a helping hand in terms of information and extra services. No weak point, I feel myself quite comfortable

Very convenient location, close to Aya Sofia and Gulhane park, to Grand bazaar and Galich (Galata) bridge also. No need to walk around the bush - go from Chemberlish column along the tram line 1 for one minute, first turn to the left is yours (you can see Burger King on the opposite side of the road). Then go up for 2 minutes. That’s it. Their breakfast gave me an energy for at least half of a day (and I walked usually 20 - 25 km). It consists of a boiled egg, 4 sliced pieces of cucumber, 1 cherry tomato, 4 bread buns, a cup of coffee or tea (or altogether), a small slice of local cheese, and 5 small plastic containers (maybe, 20 gram or so; the same are given on board of a plane) with butter, honey, jam. It is definitely clean, and the staff is cleaning rooms, corridors, dining zone regularly. It is free of any kind of insects. Each morning vacant rooms are ventilated. Toilets and a shower are kept tidy. Very polite and helpful people are on the registration (front) desk. Work fast, do things well, always ready to advise to foreigners. Wi-fi works well only on one of your devices. I think, there is a kind of limitation (in access or speed) for one room. My IPad functioned flawless, but my telephone often lost internet connection.
