Miran Hotel

Position: 10/10! Services: meh.. the room was clean, but the conditioner didn't work (we asked to fix it, but they didn't) and also the hairdryer and the fridge. Breakfast: 5/10. Good if you are Turkish, there is nothing of international.

Were in Istanbul with a friend from 12 to 18 March 2025, staying at the Miran Hotel. Excellent location - 5 min down the street and you end up in Sultanahmet Square, 5 min up the street - stop tram No 1 Chamberlitash. The hotel liked: the room is small, the bathroom is quite spacious, the room is clean, the pillow mattress is comfortable, there were no interruptions with hot water, the room is warm, there is a mini fridge, TV (no Russian channels), there is a kettle+tea/coffee, WiFi catches perfectly at the reception, in the room and in the hotel cafe. Breakfasts are held on the 4th floor, all food is fresh, the range is good, it is difficult to stay hungry. The staff is polite, hospitable, at the reception 1 man speaks Russian, as well as Rice's maid - a great Russian speaker, a very nice woman. On the downside: opposite the hotel entrance (and opposite the windows of our room) a scary building with air conditioning on the wall, at the bottom of this building otopark, at night it can be noisy and garbage is collected (near the entrance there are bins), which is also very noisy with the windows open (the room was hot, they tried to leave the windows open, but because of the noise had to close). The weather was very lucky: the air temperature was above 20 degrees, even reaching +25.

Chose this hotel based on its proximity to the main attractions (8 minutes walk to St. Sophia's Cathedral). The hotel is small, cozy, clean. The rooms are quiet, even though the hotel is in the middle. Breakfast on the terrace with a small view of the city, but very simple (a couple of cheeses, hams, boiled eggs, pastries, Turkish sweets), good WiFi. We wanted a low-cost hotel downtown, so we were satisfied.
