Pros:

En general está bien ubicado y el hotel es lindo.

Cons:

Tuvimos un inconveniente con la habitación, nos dieron una llave que presentaba molestias y a veces abría y a veces no (al parecer ya sabían que la habitación presentaba ese inconveniente). La última noche llegamos y no abría, nos tuvieron 3 horas esperando a poder abrir la puerta desde las 10 de la noche. Cuando logran abrirla, nos dan otra habitación mucho más pequeña de la que habíamos pagado y no nos devolvieron nada de dinero ni nos compensaron de ninguna manera, ni por la habitación más pequeña ni por la situación que se presentó con la puerta del dormitorio.

Zou het een volgende keer weer boeken.
Pros:

De locatie, de kamer, het personeel. Een storing in de kluis werd snel opgelost, evenals een storing in de airco. Elke dag schoonmaak en schone handdoeken.
Wij hadden een kamer op de 4e etage aan de straatzijde met (klein) balkon. Geen overlast van straatgeluiden.

Cons:

Best een steile klim omhoog in de straat, maar gelukkig niet was het hotel redelijk aan het begin van de heuvel gevestigd.
Verder bieden ze een airport transfer aan voor 100 euro retour, maar dat is een stuk goedkoper via booking.com en de taxi stopt gewoon voor de deur.

Pros:

Posizione strategica, vicino ai trasporti via terra e mare
Consiglio le camere piano alto con vista sul Bosforo
La colazione a pagamento è ricca ma la sconsiglio se mangiate poco!
La zona Galata è vivace, certamente non ci si annoia

Accettabile
Pros:

Il personale era abbastanza cordiale e la posizione ottima a due passi dalla fermata del tram. Inoltre, l'hotel era a due passi dalla torre di Galata dove c'erano parecchi ristoranti e bar. L'hotel è ok se non avete grosse aspettative.

Cons:

Sconsiglio di selezionare l'opzione con colazione, in quanto non particolarmente varia e soprattutto l'orario di inizio era piuttosto tardi tra le 8.30 e le 9.00. Questo può essere un problema se prenotare tour o avete bisogno di uscire presto la mattina per godervi la città. Il primo giorno appena arrivati abbiamo avuto un grosso problema, in quanto la pompa dell'acqua era rotta, pertanto non abbiamo potuto lavarci.
