Znakomita miejscówka w Stambule z pięknym widokiem na Hagia Sofia i przyjazną i troskliwą obsługą!
Pros:

Obiekt jest świetnie położony w dzielnicy Sultanahmet blisko najważniejszych atrakcji, jednak przy zbiegu spokojnych trzech uliczek, więc nie ma hałasu i zgiełku większych ulic. Najważniejszym plusem poza położeniem jest hotelowa obsługa, w szczególności Fatih - przyjazny, troskliwy i pomocny, oferujący herbatę z uśmiechem na twarzy - wielkie dzięki! Część pokoi ma przepiękny widok na Hagia Sofia i dla tego widoku wróciłem do tego hotelu po kilkunastu latach i zdecydowanie warto te pokoje rezerwować. Śniadanie o dość podstawowym wyborze, ale wystarczające, również mile serwowane przez obsługującą panią.

Cons:

Nie jest tak, że mi się nie podobało, bo byłem już tam wcześniej i wróciłem co samo w sobie coś znaczy, ale warto wiedzieć, ze hotel jest mały, dość stary, zatem bez windy, pokoje są raczej niewielkie z dobrym wyposażeniem, ale mającym już swoje lata. Jest oczywiście klima, duża szafa, ładny wystrój, ale rozmiar pokoi na zdjęciach jest przesadzony, minusem jest też brak lodówki w pokoju. Jak więc ktoś lubi duże powierzchnie tam takich nie znajdzie. To wszystko nie zmienia faktu, że obsługa, położenie i widok z okna z nawiązką nadrabiają wszelkie niedoskonałości wynikające z wieku obiektu, wszystko co jest potrzebne do pobytu w Stambule tam jest a nic nie zastąpi uśmiechu na twarzy recepcjonisty.

I’ll definitely come back
Pros:

Amazing staff! Fatih was incredibly kind, welcoming, and always happy to help.

The location is excellent, within walking distance of the main attractions. I had no issues with noise at - the windows did a great job blocking outside sounds, including the calls to prayer from the nearby mosque.

Wi-Fi was reliable, bed was comfortable, and everything was very clean. The room was small, but perfectly adequate for a solo traveler.

I truly enjoyed my stay and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

Istanbul con gli amici
Pros:

L'accoglienza e la disponibilità, fatih professionale e amichevole, lejla con la colazione ci ha fatto sentire in famiglia

Cons:

La colazione dovrebbe essere disponibile più presto x permettere agli ospiti di organizzare al meglio la giornata.
Ma chiedendo ci hanno anticipato l'orario quindi è andato tutto bene

Een goed verblijf op een top locatie voor een heel billijke prijs.
Pros:

De locatie van het hotel kon niet beter zijn, daarom hadden wij dit hotelletje gekozen. Het personeel was heel vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Het ontbijt was naar verwachting goed. Onze verwachtingen kwamen in overeenstemming met wat het hotel te bieden had voor zijn prijs.

The staff does their best to smooth things over, but we’re unlikely to return here.
Pros:

· Friendly and accommodating staff (they were very helpful with arranging our transfer from the airport – thank you very much)
· Opportunity to have tea in the kitchen in the evening
· Central location, close to sights
· Umbrellas available for rainy weather

Cons:

· No elevator – you have to carry your suitcases up to the 5th floor via a steep spiral staircase
· The room lacks: chairs, disposable slippers, the air conditioner remote control, a kettle, and tea. No bottled drinking water provided
· Old furniture and rusty plumbing
· Dim lighting, lumpy pillows
· Cleaning wasn’t done even upon request
· Someone secretly smokes somewhere in the hotel – the smell of tobacco seeps through the walls
· Smells of fried food from a neighboring café, loud music plays half the night, customers shout
· At night, a garbage truck rattles and beeps in the area

Estancia más k excelente
Pros:

Todo ha sido maravilloso, una experiencia estupenda!
Sobre todo a destacar la amabilidad del personal,dispuesto a ayudar en todo momento.
Algún día nos ha apetecido comida preparada para cenar y sin problema hemos usado el comedor. Nos han dado mucha información del lugar, y el primer día nos indicaron en que restaurante ir a cenar y fue estupendo.El.dia k cogíamos el avión era muy pronto y aun así nos prepararon unos bocatas.
Si vuelvo a Estambul sin duda volveremos.Muchas gracias a todos el personal. Lo recomiendo 100%.

Cons:

No puedo decir nada ,todo estupendo.

If you want a simple an elegant hotel near the Hagia Sophia, it is a great option!
Pros:

Perfect staff. Very friendly and helpful. Great selection of simple do it yourself breakfast items. The room was very neat and tidy and the bed was one of the most luxurious and softest I have ever experienced! Amazing location for the price. And only a 3 minute walk from the Hagia Sophia, right in the heart of the old city! Would definitely come again!

Cons:

My room was on one of the top floors so I had to walk a few flights of stairs whenever I came back to the hotel, as there is no elevator. Also there is a student hostel and bar right beside the hotel, so it tended to be a bit noisy late at night. But as I remember after 11pm (or so) it all quieted down.
