Если ищете уютный отель рядом с основными достопримечательностями - лучшее место.
Pros:

Отличное место расположение отеля - его основное преимущество в выборе. Комната на третьем этаже оказалась довольно просторной и уютной, и, несмотря на плохую погоду в Стамбуле с дождем и ветром - в комнате было тепло и уютно. Рядом много ресторанов, до всех основных достопримечательностей мы доходили пешком. Анна (управляющая) дала нам подробные инструкции куда пойти и чем лучше заняться в Стамбуле, с картой и маршрутом. На завтраке был вкуснейший торт ( не только конечно) в общем чувствовали себя как дома)

Cons:

Было бы полезно проветривание комнат накануне заезда гостей)

Pros:

The View from the room is outstanding and the Jacuzzi. Luggage storage was provided after the checkout. The lady managing the hotel on 3 May was friendly and hospitable. Breakfast had good variety.

Cons:

Other than the location and things mentioned above things were not good
On arrival, we had to ask for the help for luggage, which was reluctantly provided, we also had to carry the luggage, issue is actually the narrow stairs to the top floor. Same way no help for luggage on checkout.
Room size seems very big in photos, actually isn't.
Bathroom amenities were local, not as shown in the pics.
No exhaust.
Could only be locked with key and no manual locking from inside.
No dustbin in the room.
Cleaning was not good, dust on the hanging pendants/ lamps.
Panoramic windows were not clean.
It is basically a sort of guest house, however nightly rates are expensive, no value for money.

Recomand
Pros:

Doamna este minunată, și ne-a ajutat în tot ceea ce am avut nevoie... De la mijloace de transport..recomandări de obiective...etc.

Locația este in centrul istoric, foarte aproape de Arasta Bazar, Palatul Topkapi, Moscheea Albastra... Și de stația de tramvai.

Mic dejun gustos.

Cu excepția zilei de marți ( a doua zi in care am ajuns), in fiecare zi ne erau schimbate prosoapele, se curăța podeaua, și se ridica gunoiul de la baie.

Lenjeriile, saltelele, și tot ce tine de locul de dormit...impecabile.

Cons:

Locația ar avea nevoie de mici îmbunătățiri ( partea de sanitare), iar la partea de curățenie, un pic mai multă grijă la detalii.

Hotel céntrico y preciso
Pros:

Hotel céntrico, con lugares para comer cercanos, a pie caminando de la mezquita azul y Santa Sofía. Las personas de recepción súper amables, dispuestas a ayudar, nos entregaron un mapa con las zonas turísticas, tienen un perrito llamado Baby es un amor. El desayuno súper bueno.

Cons:

Quizás le falta en las habitaciones un lugar para guardar la ropa, pero como son pequeñitas se entiende que no hay mucho espacio.

Cons:

My only complaint is the cleaning lady, she is not cleaning well because the room had dust on places and some days she didn’t change the bed sheets. But everything else is great

A comfortable and pleasant stay in a great location with warm hospitality.
Pros:

We loved how centrally located the hotel was, which made exploring Istanbul with our kids very easy. The family‑like atmosphere made us feel welcome, and the lady at the front desk was incredibly kind and helpful. Having unlimited drinking water was a thoughtful convenience during our stay.

Cons:

Breakfast was okay but could have had a bit more variety. The hotel is simple homey ambience overall, so travelers expecting luxury might find it basic but value for the money.
