AU COEUR DE LA CAPITALE DU MONDE : ISTANBUL
Pros:

L'emplacement est IDEAL: juste quelques minutes à pieds on est à AMINOUNOU ; au SULTANAHMED ; au GRAND BAZAR , le parc GULHANE est notre voisin .
Le petit déjeuner est consistant et varié
La chambre est spacieuse et avec balcon qui ouvre sur la ville ( à notre demande)
la cerise sur le gâteau est le professionnalisme du personnel surtout à la réception : grand MERCI

Cons:

RIEN

Pros:

Mi-a plăcut amplasarea, foarte aproape de multe obiective turistice și străzi pline cu magazine și restaurante
Personalul de la hotel foarte amabil și prompt
Camera ok per total
Mâncarea bună
Priveliștea de sus de la restaurant superbă

Cons:

Nu mi-a plăcut faptul că trebuia să sun la recepție ca să mi se pornească aerul condiționat , iar lumina din camera si din baie e cam slabă
Micul dejun nu a fost prea diversificat, aceleași specialități in fiecare dimineața
La restaurant nu au prea multe feluri de desert
Apa din piscina nu era foarte caldă

Pros:

We selected this property because of the pool, my friend wanted to have a swim after days of walking, but it was impossible to swim, the level of chlorine was too much, sauna could barely fit two people. Otherwise location is excellent! Staff at reception is helpful, the rooms are small and not enough places to hang anything, beds are very comfortable.good for short stay and easy to walk around, the tram stop is just opposite and we asked for quieter room that is not facing the tram, then there is no view, but it is not so important.

Pros:

Mrs. Harika, Mr. Ugur, Mrs. Sonnur made their best for support services which was attractive for us and we tried to continue our stay in this hotel but due to fullness of visitors we have to switch to another location. Strongly recommend for family with kids because the tramway station is just near around 200 meters which allows to connect any logistic point of Istanbul. Kairat from Kazakhstan🇰🇿 22.07.2026
