Gute Lage aber keine Empfehlung für Familien
Pros:

Gute Lage. Fußläufig zu Sultanahmet Moschee und Bahn Haltestellen

Cons:

Zimmer sind wirklich klein und hellhörig. Ausstattung sehr in die Jahre gekommen. Fugen teilweise schwarz.

Pros:

Rien.

Cons:

Hôtel vieux, chambre non propre, ne correspond pas à un hôtel 3 étoiles. Manque équipement (bouilloire, fer a repasser, rangement, ...). Odeur cigarette dans la chambre matin et soir. Nous avons quitter l'hôtel une nuit plutôt car inadmissible.

Perfectly acceptable for what you'd expect in this area
Pros:

It was great value for money and slightly exceeded expectations. After all, it's a hotel in a historic area of Istanbul - it's not going to be a perfect setup. It was clean enough, bed was comfortable, the location in Sultanahmet was perfect for my needs. Good breakfast included as well.

Cons:

These are more notes than things I didn't like, as they didn't bother me much. While it was clean enough for my liking, it could've been a bit cleaner without much effort. There were some smaller old stains on the bedding and I did spot a couple of hair. A minor downside about the provided shower gels & shampoos - while nice that there were tiny bottles that were reused rather than thrown out, they didn't look very appealing so I skipped using them. I think especially the shampoo bottle had shampoo gunk built up around the cap and the liquids were really thick. I skipped using these and just used the provided soap which was packed for single-use. The room was really small as others noticed, but that wasn't an issue for me - I'm only there to sleep, but if you're the person who hangs around there a lot or booking for two people, it's definitely tiny.

Общее впечатление от отеля- позитивное. Понимаю, что мы платили за месторасположение. Отель могу рекомендовать, критерию
Pros:

Месторасположение было шикарное, пешком до Голубой мечети 5 минут.
Безумно приветливый персонал.
В номерах было тепло, даже в конце декабря. Вода в душе была без перебоя.
Уборка номеров.
Панорамный вид во время завтрака-очень красиво.
Терраса-уютная и милые кошечки там живут. Можно пить чай в любом количестве.
Уровень шума-низкий, с улицы звуки не мешали спать и внутри отеля только один раз слышала соседей-когда заехала большая компания итальянцев.

Cons:

Самое большое негодование вызвали дырки на постельном белье.
Уборка в номерах была, но поверхностная, по углам в комнате и ванной было пыльно.
При заезде в ванной были полупустые баночки с гелем для душа и шампунем, но дали новые когда попросили.
Не поняла почему хвалят в отзывах завтрак-было одно и тоже каждое утро, вау эффекта не было, но голодным не уйдете. Рекомендую отелю подавать симиты на завтрак-мы даже утром бегали перед завтраком на площадь, чтоб купить себе свежие симиты.

Great value; great view breakfast area!
Pros:

A nice small hotel in the heart of the old town in Istanbul

Cons:

The pictures online should be more explicit- I enjoyed my room with big windows and sea view and double room;even the bath has a window!

Not bad, but we had a better hotel in Istanbul
Pros:

The staff was super helpful, could be approached any time and everyone spoke either English or Russian. Location is very good, we had a sea view in our both rooms, and the Blue mosque was just around the corner. Breakfast was so generous, the team at the terrace did a great job every morning.

Нам очень понравился персонал, это был наш второй отель в Стамбуле, и было с чем сравнивать. На стойке регистрации нас всё детально рассказали, помогали с чемоданами, даже заселили на час раньше официального времени заселения. Все говорили или на хорошем английском или на русском (на террасе с завтраками). Отличное расположение (с комнатами, из которых видно море, и Голубой мечетью прямо за углом). Вкусные и разнообразные завтраки.

Cons:

Rooms were really tiny, beds and doors squeaky, lighting was weirdly managed, the fridge in our room kept waking me up through the night.

Комнаты очень маленькие, сложно было там что-то делать вдвоем, почти не развернуться. Так и не разобрались, как выключать свет, пришлось из одной лампы просто выкрутить лампочку. Холодильник будил меня каждую ночь. Кровати и двери в ванную скрипели жутко, мы будили друг друга всю ночь.
