Parece incrível mas está velho
Pros:

A Localização é boa, calmo para dormir, jardim na frente e vista para o Mar.
O facto de ser pequeno e calmo.
O facto de ter SPA.

Cons:

Precisa de manutenção.
Tem demasiados detalhes envelhecidos e são coisas simples.
Nota-se que podia ser um hotel requintado e que até já foi...mas não é mais.

O quarto tinha lâmpada a piscar de fundida.
O colchão era demasiado mole e com cova no centro.
A TV não tinha comando.
Tinha demasiados remendos nos rodapés e manchas nas paredes.
Os materiais de construção de remendo eram fracos.
O duche mesmo que de hidromassagem o cabo não chegava à cabeça com um homem de pé.
Uma pessoa de idade, pouca mobilidade, obesa ou criança não consegue entrar e sair do duche.

Pros:

The hotel is located an 8-minute walk from the Blue Mosque, within walking distance of the Grand Bazaar, and right by the sea. The staff are absolutely wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast is excellent — there are two types of omelets, and something new is added every day.
The pool is small, and the saunas only seemed to work in the evening.

Cons:

The rooms need renovation, especially the bathroom and shower area. The pillows should also be replaced — there were 9 of us, and none of us found them comfortable to sleep on.

Hotel horrible
Pros:

El desayuno

Cons:

El peor hotel en el que he estado en mi vida. Un baño inaceptable para un hotel que se anuncie en esta plataforma. Para llegar al inodoro había que meterse en la ducha para poder cerrar la puerta. Habitación vieja, sábanas con agujeros, paredes con agujeros, canaletas con cables por el exterior, plafones viejos...en definitiva un horror. Booking debería revisar los establecimientos que oferta en su plataforma antes de ofrecerlos a sus clientes. Personal muy interesado en llevarte a tiendas concertadas bajo el pretexto de precios competitivos, sin duda, con el interés de percibir una comisión. No se lo recomiendo a nadie. Horrible.

Fantastico!
Pros:

Posizione perfetta per muoversi a piedi, a pochi passi dalle principali attrazioni.
La mia camera aveva una bellissima vista mare. Non eccessivamente spaziosa, ma pulita e ben strutturata. La colazione è varia, internazionale ma include pietanze tipiche, molto apprezzate!

Cons:

La spa è molto essenziale, ma è ideale per riposarsi dopo una giornata di camminata.

Assolutamente eccezionale!
Pros:

L'hotel è meraviglioso e ha una posizione molto comoda per raggiungere tutti i punti di interesse principali, lo staff inoltre non era solo disponibile ma anche molto cordiale. La colazione era inclusa e decisamente abbondante, in più il sabato avevamo il volo molto presto e ci hanno preparato una colazione al sacco (altrettanto abbondante). La spa piccolina ma molto comoda e pulita, aperta fino a mezzanotte. La camera era anch'essa piccola (eravamo in due) ma comunque comoda per quel che ci serviva, invece il bagno era abbastanza grande; in ogni caso pulizia eccellente e tutti i giorni ci fornivano gratuitamente l'acqua. Da non sottovalutare anche le convenzioni che la struttura offre: noi abbiamo fatto la cena in barca (50 euro a persona) super consigliata per la splendida esperienza e il tour del bosforo, la mattina in pullman e il pomeriggio in barca (70 cadauno) con una guida disponibile e molto cordiale. Consigliamo decisamente questa struttura!
