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.

No lo recomiendo 👎
Pros:

La ubicaciones es muy buena, pero el lugar como tal no es cómodo.

Cons:

El personal fue muy grosero, a excepción de un chico joven y delgado que fue la única persona amable con nosotros.
Tuvimos falta de agua todo un día y el baño no estaba dotado con el suministro suficiente para la cantidad de días de nuestra estancia; solicitamos papel higiénico porque se nos había acabado y fue respuesta de mala manera. A la hora del desayuno siempre hay alguien del personal encima de los huéspedes y de cierta forma, nos sentimos vigilados todo el tiempo; no pudimos tomar un desayuno tranquilo, por lo que para 4 días de estancia, solo decidimos tomar 2 días la opción del desayuno incluido. La comida tampoco era buena y todos los días ofrecían exactamente lo mismo, hasta sobras del día anterior, no hubo variación en el menú.

Un día antes de nuestro check out, fue interrumpida nuestra tranquilidad con golpes extremadamente fuertes en la puerta por parte del personal exigiendo que saliéramos de la habitación inmediatamente de forma grosera y prácticamente gritándonos! Cuando se indicó que teníamos un día más de reserva nos hicieron bajar a recepción para verificar y cuando corroboraron la información, no hubo unas disculpas adecuadas para el hecho tan bochornoso que nos hicieron pasar.

Cons:

Les responsables de hôtel n’étaient pas aimables et ne parlaient pas autres langues sauf la langue turque. Pas de nettoyage de chambre les derniers jours et pas de réfrigérateur dans la chambre

Overall there were concerns about space & cleanliness in the facility.
Pros:

Location is good.

Cons:

The tap water in the facility had a strong odor and an oily feel which made it very uncomfortable for use either for shower or hand washing, the room was extremely small, and we has a bit concern about overall cleanness of the facility.
