Turkish delight...
Pros:

O Raymond Hotel Old City, cativou-me por várias razões, desde o pequeno almoço, com escolha variada e baseado na dieta turca, com bastantes legumes, crús e cozinhados, sopa, sempre saborosa, fruta e também uma grande variedade de doçaria. A localização é esplêndida a 5 minutos das atrações turísticas mais famosas, do porto de embarque quer para a margem asiática quer para o lado Este da cidade e também da paragem do metro de superfície, O staff do hotel está sempre pronta a ajudar, quero aqui salientar o nome de dois empregados o Sr. Abdullah e o Sr. Mevlut, incansáveis para que tudo estivesse bem com a nossa estadia!!

The Raymond Hotel Old City captivated me for several reasons, starting with the breakfast, with its varied selection based on the Turkish diet, featuring plenty of raw and cooked vegetables, always delicious soup, fruits, and a wide variety of sweets. The location is splendid, 5 minutes from the most famous tourist attractions, the port for embarking on flights to the Asian side or the east side of the city, and also the light rail stop. The hotel staff is always ready to help; I want to highlight the names of two employees, Mr. Abdullah and Mr. Mevlut, who tirelessly ensured everything was perfect during our stay!

Cons:

O único reparo que poderei fazer é tão somente, a melhoria do sumo de laranja disponível ao pequeno almoço, um pouco aguado, mas não sendo de todo motivo para não regressar um dia a este hotel.

The only criticism I could make is that the orange juice available at breakfast could be improved; it was a little watery, but this is not a reason not to return to this hotel someday.

The location is fabulous! Right where you need to be to walk to all the sights in the Old Town. The staff are also so helpful.

The breakfast room is small so either go early or a little later so that you can get a seat!

Отличен
Pros:

Хотелът е на топ локация, всички туристически забележителности са на пешеходно разстояние. Чисти се всеки ден и се сменя бельото. Закуската е хубава и с голям времеви диапазон.
Персоналът е отзивчив и съдейства за всичко.
Препоръчвам този хотел и бих го посетила отново.

Pros:

Location of the hotel is very good. Very near all the main spots for tourists.

Cons:

Photos of the rooms in the booking are not real. The hotel is very old, also are the rooms and it's ammentities. Rooms were not clean. Economic room was very dark, there were not enough lights (removed form the wall) and very very small.

Cena nie adekwatna do standardu. NIE POLCAM
Pros:

Miły i pomocny personel mówiacy w j ang i to tylko tym dobrego w tym miejscu

Cons:

W pokoju pleśn, co jest b niezdrowe. pod tym względem NIE POLCAM tego hotelu. Pokoje i hotel już wymaga remontu, pokoje małe kalustrofobiczne, ale to jeszcze do powiedzmy akceptacji. Wszędzie zapach stęchlizny ze wzgledu na pleśn. Sniadania słabe, dwie małe jadalnie, jedzenie nalezy sobie przenosi samemu z jednej do drugiej jadalni, Zdaża się ze barkuje stolików i trzeba czekac, ale czego tu sie dziwic jak w jednej jadalni są tylko 3 stoli po 2 osoby, a drugiej jadalnie nie wiele więcej. Cena nie adekwatna do standardu.

Cons:

The walls of our room were quite thin and we could hear the room next door. That said, there is an awful lot of noise throughout the night from the road outside too, which we found we got used to after one night.

Sejurul a fost unul bun , însă orașul este plin ochi de turiști, nu mai este ce a fost, a ajuns super super comercial
Pros:

Amplasarea foarte bună , aproape de obiective turistice și 1 min până la tramvai!
Mic-dejun satisfăcător și personalului foarte amabil !

Cons:

Gălăgie mare dacă stai la etajul 5 nu poți dormi până la ora 1 noaptea , la ultimul etaj funcționează un restaurant cu prețurile exagerat de mari peste media celor din oraș și de la care se aude tot în cameră lele de la etajul 5!
