Çok teşekkür ederim! Thank you!
Pros:

Location - perfect.
Breakfast was excellent, considering the price.

Cons:

Room - it would be great if the single room were a bit more spacious and had a more comfortable desk for computer work, However, everything else was very good.

Pros:

La proximité des lieux de la mer, des mosquées, des musées, des marchés et des transports.
Le petit dejeuner était bien, il faudrait ajouter des fruits et des boissons pour qu il soit parfait.

Cons:

Le bruit en journée car l immeuble est en travaux, les equipements de la salle de bain et wc étaient abimés (bouton de chasse d eau, fuite au niveau de la douchette, poignée de porte cassé).
Une des chambres avait la clim défectueuse, l homme de l'hotel nous a proposé d ouvrir les fenêtres à la place.

Přímo v centru města blízko památek.
Pros:

Umístění hotelu je strategické ohledně blízkosti stanice Sirkeci, Hagia sofia cca 15min pěšky. Na tramvaj kousíček cca 5min. Snídaně v ceně. Terasa přístupná s výhledem na vodu. Cena dobrá. Příjemný pan na recepci.

Cons:

Snídaně velmi jednoduchá, ale nenáročním vadit nebude. Zařízení zastaralé, špinavé křeslo s nějakou skvrnou. Nulová komunikace s hotelem přes zprávy. Koupelna malá, stejně i pokoj, ale to jsem čekal... Nebylo mydlo v koupelně.

Nu recomand.
Pros:

E foarte aproape de obiectivele turistice importante. Ai 700 metri până la Agia Sofia, palatul Topkapi, Moscheea Albastră . Până la pod galata ai 1200 metri.

Cons:

Camerele vechi, fără frigider, geamul blocat cu șuruburi iar în ultima noapte ne curgea apa din tavan și nu am putut dormi. Micul dejun e foarte sărăcăcios și de o calitate foarte slabă.

It was good for the money we paid.
Pros:

It was near every tourist attraction, you could reach everything by foot.

Cons:

The room wasn’t cleaned the whole stay. It could get cleaned at least once because 6 nights is not that short.
