Istanbul sempre meravigliosa!! ❤
Pros:

La posizione, i cuscini fantastici, è uno dei pochissimi hotel che ho trovato con cuscini cosi comodi!! Colazione buona ma sempre uguale e servita da una coppia che la gestisce davvero carini!!
Recepcionist premuroso e gentile
Ascensore che non guasta mai!
Buona insonorizzazione con l"esterno

Cons:

Camere un po trascurate e pulite un po sommariamenre
A volte si sentiva discutere quelli di altre camere insonorizzazione tra le camereun po scarsa

Great location with friendly staff and wonderful to have breakfast daily.
Pros:

Perfect location to explore Istanbul and very friendly staff. The breakfast was good and filling for the day ahead.

Cons:

Lots of additional costs within the room including tea/coffee. We didn't use anything but was a bit surprising.

只有地理位置方便了

Cons:

太破旧了根本和图片没关系，浴室真的挺灾难的，又小又脏又黑，水还忽冷忽热的，性价比也很低

Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location was excellent – there are plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants nearby, and it is only a few minutes’ walk from the main Istiklal Street and Taksim Square. From Taksim Square, you can easily take the metro or buses, which made getting around Istanbul very convenient. The Bosphorus is also about a 15–20 minute walk away.
Traditional Turkish breakfast was served every morning, including eggs, cheese, olives, sausage and delicious freshly baked bread.
The room had everything we needed, including an iron, hairdryer and air conditioning. We especially appreciated the double curtains, which kept the room dark in the morning, so the sunlight did not disturb our sleep.
The staff were very friendly, welcoming and helpful, which made our stay even more enjoyable.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel. It is a great place to stay when exploring Istanbul, especially because of its excellent location.

A Truly Wonderful Stay – Warm, Welcoming, and Unforgettable!
Pros:

We had such a lovely stay at the Prelude Hotel! The staff were incredibly warm, welcoming, and attentive. There was always someone there to help, and they went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. The breakfast was freshly prepared every morning with so much love and was absolutely delicious. Our room was spacious, comfortable, and had everything we needed.

The location was perfect, right at Taksim Square, putting us directly in the heart of Istanbul with everything close by.

What made this hotel truly special was the genuine hospitality and the feeling of being so well taken care of. We felt welcome from the moment we arrived and would happily stay here again. Highly recommended!

ابحث عن الفنادق المعروفة ومن زان سكنه زان سفرة
Pros:

الموقع وتعامل العائلة والافطار

Cons:

الفندق كارثي وماينفع يكون فندق متهالك يبغاله تجديد دفعت لليلتين 550 ريال و ماكملت الحجز التعليقات والتقييم 9+ هي سبب الحجز واتوقع وهمية ؛لكن الواقع مخيب حقه لليلة 40 ريال
درجة انك ماتقدر تاخذ فيه شور من القرف اللي فيه
الله يرزقهم العائلة لكن لابد من تجديد المبنى

Great! Recommend to those who is looking for budget hotel
Pros:

Great family running this hotel. We felt humble and hard working family greeting us every day from breakfast to late at night coming back after all day tour. Location is excellent to feel the vibe of the heart of istikral street. Area is ery busy until late night yet our room is dead quiet. Breakfast is excellent with warm greetings and wonderful views. The water pressure from the shower head is strong and soft. We couldn’t stay longer because two beds room are all sold out!

Cons:

Rooms are small, perhaps we were in the two full beds room

الذي هون علي الاقامة هو الشخص المميز مراد كان رائعا في كل شي
Pros:

هناك رجل يعمل كل شي اسمه مراد مميز في تعامله وخلقه وتجاوبه المستمر
وسيدة بالفطور اسمها فريال متميزة ورائعة
وهناك رجل بالاستقبال اسمه الات خلوق جدا

Cons:

الفطور كان متواضع وعادى جدا
كذلك
انصدمت عندما دخلت الغرفه اول مره
لم تكن كما الصور بالأناقة والترتيب
واعتقد خدعة من البوكنق
ولن اكرر الحجز من البوكنق مرة اخرى
وحجزت اليوم فندق جميل جدا مطل على البحر من ثلاث جهات غرفه بانورامية مميزة وبسعر جيد المخادعة بالوصف وبالصور غير جيد
وكذلك لم تتجاوب خدمات العملاء في البوكنق عند طلبي الغاء الحجز اول يوم مع اني عرضت خصم يوم او يومين مقابل خروجي وتم الرفض !!
أنا رجل عاقل وعمري فوق 60 سنه واخاف الله في كلامي

"Great hotel and fantastic team! A perfect stay, except for the non-cooling fridge.
Pros:

"Our stay at the hotel was truly wonderful and everything was great! A huge special thanks to the lovely couple, Murad and his wife, who manage the hotel so wonderfully and prepare amazing breakfasts every morning. Also, a big thank you to the polite young men, Polat and Can, who were always quick to assist us with anything we needed. I will definitely stay here again every time I visit Istanbul!"

Cons:

"My only note is that I wish the mini-fridge could be replaced, as it was not cooling at all."
