Доверия к этому отелю больше нет. Бронируешь одно, получаешь другое. Нас как будто бесплатно заселили из жалости в эту
Pros:

Ночной администратор из Туркменистана 10 баллов

Cons:

Комната оказалась совсем не та, которую бронировали. Очень маленькая, старая, грязная и с плохой вентиляцией

Pros:

Прекрасный обслуживающий персонал, расположение отеля близко к шаговой доступности достопримечательностям. Приятный дружелюбный русскоговорящий персонал. Завтрак с видом на мечеть Айя- София. Встретили и проводили, подарили подарочки, всем очень довольны, советую проживанию в Стамбуле!

Left from there and booked another hotel througj booking.com
Pros:

Nothing

Cons:

Be careful about this property. You will be asked to pay in cash at arrival which is never mentioned when you book at booking.com. They don’t even show the room because they know that if you see the room you will never pay them cash

Appoggio perfetto a Sulthanamet
Pros:

Posizione straordinaria, a 30 mt dalla basilica Cisterna e 5 minuti da Santa Sofia, Moschea Blu e Palazzo Topkapi e dalle fermate del tram. La metro è a 10 minuti. La colazione, prevalentemente salata, era abbondante e buona. Personale accogliente e disponibile. Camera senza pretese, ma con tutto e una bella doccia calda, perfetta per chi vuole fare una tappa di qualche giorno. A fine soggiorno ci hanno regalato una confezione di te.

Cons:

L'unica cosa fastidiosa è il fatto che NON accettano pagamenti con carta. Su Booking è scritto, ma in piccolo e in fondo e non ci avevamo fatto caso, e le commissioni sui prelievi sono altissime. Morale: avremmo dovuto spendere 300 euro e ne abbiamo spesi 360. Quindi, portatevi contanti in euro da casa!!

Jó ár-érték arányban van gyalogos távolságra nagyon sok nevezetességhez.
Pros:

Az elhelyezkedés pazar és a személyzet nagyon kedves.
Egyik nap volt fánk a reggelinél ami eszméletlenül jó volt, az szerintem lehetne többször is.
Az étterem is jó ahol ebédelni és vacsorázni is lehet.
Lehetőség van különböző programokon résztvenni, vagy transzfert igénybe venni, amik nagyban megkönnyítik a szervezést.

Cons:

Nekem nem volt konnektor közvetlen az ágy mellett, a páromnak meg éjjeliszekrénye nem volt, de ez apróság, összességében nagyon jó volt itt időt tölteni.

Guštali smo!
Pros:

Vrhunska lokacija, sve glavne znamenitosti su na pješačkoj udaljenosti od nekoliko minuta ( Bazilika cisterna, Topkapi palača, Aja Sofija, Plava džamija ). Mi smo došli s djecom pa nam je to bio zgoditak jer smo u svakom trenutku mogli doći u hotel odmoriti ili presvući se pa nastaviti dalje. Mnoštvo restorana u blizini, dva ogromna parka u kojima smo guštali provoditi vrijeme tijekom svih razdoblja dana i večeri. Hotel je uredan, ali dotrajao. Doručak je organiziran u prizemlju u restoranu The must - koji je na svoj način posebna atrakcija od uređenja u osmanskom stilu. U svakom slučaju, pozicija top, osoblje uvijek dostupno i ljubazno, čistoća na dobroj razini. Nadam se da ćemo se vratiti uskoro!

Cons:

Naš prozor u sobi na prvom katu je imao pogled na drugu zgradu jako blizu, te su u tom među-prostoru postavljeni klima uređaji i ventilacije zbog kojih nije bilo baš svježeg zraka koliko smo navikli. No, ionako smo većinu vremena proveli vani!

Все отлично👍
Pros:

📍Одно из самых теплых мест нашей поездки.
Когда сделала правильный выбор👍

Питание. Завтраки прекрасные, сытные и разнообразные (а нам уже было с чем сравнить😉). Сам ресторан - отдельная хвалебная ода. Невероятно красивый!

Расположение. Сиркеджи, напротив Айя София на трамвайной линии Т1. Лучше и не придумать, а особенно когда, как мы, только начинаешь знакомиться с Стамбулом.
Очень классное отношение руководства и персонала. Реально по-семейному и очень дружелюбное. Я уже хочу вернуться😄🤩

*пост не заказной, а от чистого сердца❤️❤️❤️
