Pros:

Hotel ima izuzetnu lokaciju, imao je sve što je spomenuto.

Cons:

Hotel ne izgleda kao na slikama, jako star objekat i u lošem stanju, potrebno renoviranje. Doručak je siromašan i svaki dan isti.

Il soggiorno è stato comunque gradevole. Istanbul è stupenda e gli abitanti sono molto cortesi.
Pros:

Posizione centrale e comoda a tutte le mete principali. Siamo riusciti a raggiungere tutti i luoghi di nostro interesse a piedi, compresa Torre Galata, passeggiando lungo il ponte. Il personale del Le Safran è molto cortese e tutte le persone di Istanbul incontrate a vario titolo, altrettanto. Mangiato molto bene nei ristoranti che abbiamo frequentato.

Cons:

Bagni molto piccoli e ambiente dedicato alla colazione (e colazione) sotto le aspettative. Dopo la prima mattina abbiamo sempre fatto colazione a pagamento in altri luoghi vicini, sebbene l'avessimo già pagata insieme alle camere.

Ottimo se non si hanno troppe pretese. Posizione centrale, pulito e con colazione
Pros:

Ottimo posizione, davvero centrale per raggiungere tutte le attrazioni. Stanza e bagno puliti e bagno moderno e funzionante. Letti comodi e confortevoli

Cons:

Stanze un po' da ammodernare
Servizio taxi per aereoporto rincarato rispetto a quanto possono chiedere fuori
Poca varietà per la colazione dolce
Staff non parla molto inglese

Very good for the money.
Pros:

Very good location. The rooms were also comfortable, had heating and everything was fine. They also have a breakfast.

Cons:

The only thing i didn’t like is about the entry door. We were 4 people and to enter the room you need to cross one of bedrooms which was very inconvenient.

Pros:

The check-in time was suppose to be at 2 pm, but I arrived at around 11 and I was allowed to enter my room. The room was nice, there are windows that can be opened, free coffee and tea, and free amenities. Although at first there was a bit smell from the bathroom but it was only because the room was humid, but after I opened the window and turn on the blower, it was ok.
The breakfast was nice as well, there were different types of cheese, breads, cereals, etc.
I enjoyed staying here.

Séjour d'une semaine
Pros:

L'emplacement est idéal dans le quartier de Sultanahmet. Nous étions dans l'annexe et la chambre était spacieuse et très claire. Une grande douche dans la salle de bain. Une personne présente à la réception 24h/24h.

Rien

Pros:

The location is perfect—Aya Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and Sultanahmet are within a 5-7 min walking distance. The ferry station is in 10-15 min. walking distance. The Marmaray station is 5 min. from the hotel. It is very convenient to get to the hotel from the airport by public transport. In the area there are plenty of different restaurants and shops. The staff is friendly and helpful. The beds are comfortable. We also had a balcony in the room and could enjoy the view of the Topkapi Palace.
We stayed 1 week in the hotel, and during this time everything was good.

Cons:

The hotel is old and there is no elevator. The breakfast is quite frugal. It's possible to find something to eat, but it wasn't like we imagined. There are only 5 tables in the room and sometimes you have to wait for a table to be free. If you come too late for breakfast, there is not much food left.
