Pros:

Gute Lage

Cons:

Wenn man von Booking.com ein Zimmer Upgrade bekommt von Einzelzimmer auf Doppel-/Zweibettzimmer dann sollte das vom Hotel auch umgesetzt werden!!! Stattdessen war der Rezeptionist sehr unhöflich und ich musste mit dem EZ vorlieb nehmen. Da ich seit Jahren 1 bis 2 Mal jährlich in diesem Hotel absteige, habe ich es ausnahmsweise akzeptiert. Ob ich künftig dieses Hotel wählen werde?!?!

Good low cost stay in the heart of Istanbul
Pros:

Good communication with the staff. No English language but we go on. Parking for the bike was promised in the near premises but at the end it was parked in front of the hotel. I was worried but luckily no issues. Place is nice, rooms are tiny. The staff from accross the street were nice. Breakfast was good, coffee, juice and eggs didn't disappoint.

Cons:

The place seems to be rather used-looking. The Emek sign was down, missed it the first time around.

Szerettük és ha jövünk Isztambulba visszatérünk ide.
Pros:

Családias attitűd , tradicionális kis hotel , nagyon jó lokacio , közel a vasút , a kikötő , és a főtér is . A sétáló övezet szélén fekszik. Nagyon kedves tulajdonosok és személyzet .

Cons:

A felújítás miatt jelenleg nem volt nyitva a tetőterasz :( de az ablakból is látszott a Boszporusz .

Pros:

シルケジ駅から近く、船着場にも歩いて行ける。空港行のバス乗り場も船着場にあるので便利。ブルーモスクなどの観光地も歩いて行けるし、トラムや地下鉄を使えば市内観光には不自由しない。
すぐ近くに飲食店街もある(但し、観光地価格)。
ホテル内は清潔でエレベーターもあるのでイスタンブール滞在にはオススメしたい。

Cons:

部屋はお世辞にも広くない。日本の狭めのビジネスホテルくらい。朝食のバリエーションは余りなく、毎日だと飽きる。部屋からの眺望は良くなかった。

Ni hladilnika, pogled na sosednji zid
Pros:

Izvrstna lokacija, osebje prijazno in ustrežljivi.

Cons:

V sobi ni bilo hladilnika . Sobe so enostavno brez hladilnikov. Iz sobe ni bilo nobenega pogleda na mesto, ampak na zid sosednje stavbe, ki je bila cisto blizu. Zajtrk dober, na avtomatu za kavo sta delovali samo dve opciji , ni bilo čokolade. Prav tako ni bilo nobenih sokov, kot v ostalih hotelih.
