Muy buen lugar
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, cerca de Sultanahmet y del tranvía T1

Cons:

El lugar donde estaba el bufet del desayuno estaba separado en dos habitaciones. La que tenía la comida no tenía el café y hacía frío y la otra estaba bien, tenía el café y el té, pero no la comida, pero no me parece importante.

It was a comfortable and enjoyable stay with friendly staff and a great location.
Pros:

Overall, the hotel was pleasant and comfortable. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and professional, and they spoke English fluently, especially the young man working the night shift. The location is excellent, very close to Sirkeci center, quiet and convenient at the same time. The view from the rooms is good, and there is a large window that brings in plenty of light and makes the room feel more spacious.

As a note for improvement, the breakfast needs some attention: the variety of egg and sausages was limited, and the breakfast was served cold some time .

Cons:

The breakfast was limited in variety and often served cold.

Pros:

Három éjszakát töltöttünk el családdal. Egy kétágyas és egy háromágyas szobát foglaltunk. Mindkét szoba rendezett és tiszta volt. Az ágyak kényelmesek voltak. A személyzet nagyon kedves volt. Korábban érkeztünk, mint ahogy a szobákat át lehetett volna venni, de átvették a csomagjainkat ameddig vissza nem értünk. A reggeli tökéletes volt, változatos és bőséges. Haza utazáskor korábban indultunk, minthogy a reggelit felszolgálták, kérésre készítettek nekünk szendvicseket az útra. Az elhelyezkedése tökéletes. A kék mecset 5 perc gyalog, a nagybazár 10 perc, villamosmegálló 2 percre a szállástól.

Cons:

Nem volt ilyen. Én csak ajánlani tudom mindenkinek.
