Pros:

Ubicación céntrica al lado de una de las plazas más emblemáticas de Estambul. Buen desayuno con muchas opciones. La habitación mejor de lo que esperábamos, ya que tenía un pequeño patio. Personal amable. Lo recomiendo.

Es war in Ordnung.
Pros:

Vielfältiges Buffet und angenehmes Etablissement. Das nette Paar, der Mann an der Rezeption und seine Frau an der Terrasse, die immer ein Lächeln in Gesicht hatten und nett agierten.

Cons:

Der junge Rezeptionist, der uns am Mittwochabend empfangen hat, der uns Vorwürfe gemacht hat und beleidigt hat - von der Unprofessionalität nicht zu sprechen.
