Отель оставил хорошее впечатление. Район очень удобный — рядом есть магазины, кафе, всё необходимое находится в шаговой
Pros:

Отель оставил очень приятное впечатление. Удобное расположение — всё находится рядом, что делает пребывание комфортным. Персонал вежливый и внимательный, всегда готов помочь. Обслуживание на хорошем уровне, всё организовано чётко и без задержек.

Отдельно хочется отметить чистоту: уборка проводится регулярно, в номерах аккуратно и приятно находиться. В целом атмосфера в отеле уютная и располагающая к отдыху.

Cons:

Единственный небольшой минус — заметно, что отель со временем немного устаревает, и, возможно, в будущем ему потребуется обновление. Но это не сильно влияет на общее впечатление.

В целом, отель хороший, и при дальнейшем улучшении может стать ещё лучше. Рекомендую!

Pros:

Liegt perfekt um alles Sehenswürdigkeit zu besuchen. Super nettes und freundliches Personal

Cons:

Die Türen und Fenster sind recht dünn, man hört alle Leute am Gang reden und auch auf der Straße alle Autos und Musik durch.
Das Swimmingpools ist recht klein und war auch kalt, wir waren aber auch nicht für Wellness dort sondern Sight seeing .

Tolle Lage mitten drin! Sehr nettes Personal!
Pros:

Tolle Lage - innerhalb weniger Minuten ist man bei bei den wichtigsten Sehenswürdigkeiten.
Das Hotel liegt in einem sehr quierligen Stadtteil - ideal wenn man mitten drin sein möchte.
Sehr nettes Rezeptions-Team!
Tolles Restaurant auf dem Dach!

Cons:

Das Zimmer war für eine 4-köpfige Familie recht klein.
Wenn man ein ruhiges Hotel sucht ist dieses falsch. Die Strassenbahn bimmelt fast andauernd vor dem Fenster. Uns hat es nicht gestört.

Excellent hotel
Pros:

We stayed here, I dont understand the reviews. Your not staying in a 7 star hotel. The staff were great, Firat especially made our stay very special. The breakfast and variety was exceptional and again the staff there were so polite and helpful with a smile every morning saying good morning. I will definitely book again.

Pros:

Úžasný hotel v centru Istanbulu. Vše v docházkové vzdálenosti. Velice dobré snídaně, ukázková čistota. Příjemné malé wellness se sauničkou a bazénem.

Cons:

Osobně bych uvítal trochu pohodlnější polštáře a celkově postel. Ale rozhodně se nejedná o nic extra nepohodlného.

Istanbul Sultanahmet
Pros:

Great location in the old town very near tram and metro stations. Close to ferry port and cruise terminal also. A short distance to Blue mosque and Topaki palace. Bed was comfortable and breakfast was included.

Cons:

Unfortunately, our room faced the street with trams outside. The regular sound of bells and horn to warn pedestrians of the approach and the wheels on the track came clearly through the window. The walls are also thin and our neighbours TV and conversations were very clear.
