Все хорошо, вот одеяло бы постирать и вытряхнуть не помешало бы
Pros:

Понравилось месторасположение, хорошие хозяева, но не разговаривают на русском

Cons:

Не понравилось только то что одеяло было не чистым, взяла из шкафа одеяло, а с него посыпался мусор, явно требует что бы его вытряхнули и простирать. Постельное белье было с пятнами, но чистое, для этой цены пойдет. Потенце одно было с волосами, второе нормальное.

A great place to stay for a few nights!
Pros:

Extremely kind and caring owners who go over and above to make the stay as nice as possible. Cannot recommend more!

Cons:

The location is in the heart of the tourist district, and the types and prices of businesses cater exclusively to tourists. But this is advertised on the page of the guest house, and is not a drawback of Tulip Guesthouse itself.

Que bueno esllegar a un lugar donde se siente que la gente es feliz
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, a pocos minutos caminando de Santa Sofía, la Mezquita Azul y muchos bares/restaurantes. La habitación estaba limpia, cómoda y tenía todo lo necesario para una estancia agradable.

Lo que realmente hizo especial mi experiencia fue la hospitalidad. Esin y su hermano fueron de las personas más amables que conocí durante mi viaje. Me ayudaron con recomendaciones, consejos para moverme por la ciudad y todo tipo de información útil, siempre con una sonrisa y sin esperar nada a cambio. Me hicieron sentir como en casa desde el primer momento. Su calidez humana hizo que mi estancia fuera inolvidable.

Además, quiero destacar que todas las personas que conocí en Estambul fueron increíblemente amables y acogedoras. Como colombiano, me sentí muy bien recibido y apreciado durante toda mi visita.

Cons:

Lo único que no me gustó fue tener que irme de Estambul. Me sentí tan bien recibido por la ciudad y por la gente de Tulip Guesthouse que habría querido quedarme más tiempo. Sin duda volvería a Estambul y me alojaría nuevamente en Tulip Guesthouse sin pensarlo dos veces.

Lidt larm udenfor min dør en morgen og så savner man nogle i receptionen
