Отличный бюджетный отель, чтобы остановиться прямо в сердце Стамбула
Pros:

Очень симпатичный маленький отель с великолепным расположением - мы жили в мансарде, окна выходили прямо на Айя-Софию. Прямо в центре всех основных достопримечательностей. Отель не новый, но уютный, было очень чисто, все работало исправно. Кровать и матрас удобные. На наш вкус - отличный завтрак, шведский стол с овощами, фруктами, выпечкой, сырами и напитками (чай, кофе, лимонады). Дружелюбный и приятный персонал. Замечательный вариант по соотношению цена/качество. Рекомендую!

Cons:

Номера небольшие, достаточно хорошая слышимость, под окнами трамваи - нам совершенно не мешало, после прогулок по городу спали прекрасно, но для кого-то может быть важно.

Cons:

Essere costretta a pagare in contanti!! La camera per 4 troppo piccola. Colazione purtroppo non internazionale, comunque limitata anche nelle bevande

Pros:

Очень уютный отель в прекрасном месте: самый центр Стамбула.
Мы прилетели ранним утром после ночного перелёта из Африки и немного промокли под Стамбульским дождём по пути из здания аэропорта до стоянки такси. В отеле нас сразу же угостили горячим чаем и заселили в номер намного раньше 14:00.
Служащие отеля очень дружелюбны и вежливы; помогли разобраться с передвижением до нужных нам мест, позволили оставить багаж после выселения, предложили удобный трансфер в аэропорт.
Мы очень довольны, что выбрали именно этот отель.

Pros:

Очень удобное расположение отеля. Он находится рядом с Голубой мечетью, мечетью Ая София, недалеко-дворец Топкапы.
Персонал очень дружелюбный, отзывчивый, убирались каждый день, полотенца меняли каждый день, помогали, если нужно было. Особая благодарность Музаффару 🙏

Prima hotel!
Pros:

Leuk, klein hotel vlak naast de Hagia Sophia. Fijne service van eigenaar en overig personeel, er is altijd iemand aanwezig en helpen je met bagage. De kamers zijn voldoende, fijne bedden, airco en het is schoon. Er wordt iedere dag schoon gemaakt. Het ontbijt is uitgebreid en gevarieerd met heerlijke kazen, salades en vers fruit. Het restaurant is traditioneel ingericht en ook een lekkere plek om even bij te komen met thee. De tram rijdt voor de deur, de halte is ongeveer 300 m lopen. Ideale aansluiting op de rest van het OV in Istanbul.

Cons:

De badkamer is aan vervanging toe, vooral de tegels en douchecabine. De douche zelf is heerlijk.

The TV in my room was not working, and the toilet was not flushing properly. My request for a room change was not accept
Pros:

Only location.

Cons:

The rooms were a bit outdated. The breakfast selection was very limited. In terms of value for money, there are much better places available at the same price.
