I want to say a few words about the Arcadia Hotel in Istanbul, where we celebrated the New Old Year : ) We went together for four days : ) Wonderful hotel, clean, warm, beautiful, located in the center, literally a five-minute walk from Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque .
Awesome view from the restaurant - you can see almost the entire city at a glance. A beautiful view also opens from the windows of the hotel (if your room is located at least 5th floor ; )) A safe with a digital code is located in the room, if this does not suit you, you can use the safes at the reception.
The hotel staff does not speak Russian (I don’t even stutter about Ukrainian; ). However, apparently they were preparing for our arrival, because at the hotel, together with the receptionist, we were met by a nice Russian-speaking girl - a gym worker, who gave us a sightseeing tour of the hotel and told about nearby cafes and sights.

Rooms are cleaned every day, beds are made every day and towels are changed... However, slippers and bathrobes are missing as a class : (
Slightly annoyed by breakfast neighbors - a group of enthusiastic American students, excited by the opportunity to drink strong drinks without any restrictions ; ) But it's true... Notes in the margins, maybe they didn't like us too much either : P
Speaking of breakfast: a buffet, a fairly wide range of croissants and sausages to muesli with honey. However, do not expect to see "something new" on the menu the next morning, there will be muesli and sausages again : ) I advise you, if you don't feel sorry for the money for good food, order some fish dish at the hotel restaurant, the same banal " levreka" on the grate, with a glass of white wine. : ) Umm. . . Overeating! We ordered dinner at the restaurant, on the first day of arrival - we didn’t regret it, although it was a little expensive, but we didn’t have a chance to try such deliciously cooked fish anywhere else in the city, and the view from the windows of other restaurants was not so gorgeous : ) In general, if you like quiet rest and hiking to historical and cultural monuments, you won't find a better hotel : )
I put "five", even despite the lack of slippers and bathrobes : )
