Must try
Pros:

The hotel is on a flat street and within walking distance of all the historical sites. We booked a transfer from the hotel. The hotel manager was very helpful via WhatsApp until they connected us with the driver. The rooms are a bit small but functional. Breakfast was adequate and fresh. The reception arranged a half-day Bosphorus tour, and we had a wonderful trip for a very low price of around €25 on a safe, large boat. Other tour boats are small and rock a lot. They offered us tea and coffee while we waited for our transfer upon arrival. We liked the hotel and recommend it.

Pros:

Персонал на уровне. Располржение отличное. Если вы посещаете Стамбул, не надо сравнивать отели с лруними странами. Мы путешествуем потомв что хотим увидеть новое, разнообразное, и не надо ждать что и отели будут бещ изьяна. По мне это отоичный отель с некоторыми недостатками, но очень удобно расположенный

Po zamianie śmierdzącego pokoju w środku nocy, było ok. Przed zameldowaniem proszę sprawdzić pokój.
Cons:

W hotelu są problemy z zapachem z kanalizacji. Są pokoje, które są nieakceptowalne jeśli chodzi o smród z kanalizacji.
