Pros:

The hotel has a great location - 10/10 - but you should know there are a steep stairs, rooms are very small (or at least our room was) with very basic equipment (which is all you need if you don´t plan speding your days indoors) and basic breakfast offer with a nice view. The staff is very helpful and wifi is free.

Cons:

The bathroom is tiny with no window and one poor ventilator so considering the humidity accumulating there, there may be a bad smell. Better accumulation would really help a lot.

Pros:

Świetna lokalizacja do zwiedzania starego miasta, w pobliżu przystanki tramwajowe, atrakcje, restauracje i sklepy.
Dobre śniadania.
Bardzo miła obsługa.

Cons:

Niestety ogólny stan czystości nie był na wysokim poziomie, ale nie wpływał on na użytkowanie z obiektu.

Μια άθλια εμπειρία.
Pros:

Τίποτα.

Cons:

Το δωμάτιο που εικονίζεται στις φωτογραφίες της πλατφόρμας σας (και βάσει αυτών των φωτογραφιών - παροχών έγινε η κράτηση από μεριάς μας), δεν είχε καμία μα καμία σχέση με αυτό που μας προσφέρθηκε. Στη ρεσεψιόν, ουσιαστική εξυπηρέτηση - συνεννόηση δεν υπήρχε καθότι ο υπάλληλος δεν μιλούσε σχεδόν καθόλου αγγλικά και όποια προσπάθεια και αν κάναμε να έρθουμε σε επικοινωνία με κάποιον υπεύθυνο κατέστη αδύνατη. Προφανώς υπό αυτές τις συνθήκες δεν μπορούσαμε να μείνουμε για τρεις μέρες. Είναι ξεκάθαρα ευθύνη της booking αν οι συνεργάτες που επιλέγει είναι αξιόπιστοι ή όχι σε σχέση με το τι διαφημίζουν ως παροχές και το τι προσφέρουν. Εμείς κλείσαμε το κατάλυμα μέσω της πλατφόρμας σας και δεν είχαμε καμία επαφή - επικοινωνία απευθείας με το Ancient Town Hotel. Ζητάμε - απαιτούμε την επιστροφή όλου του ποσού!

Good location
Pros:

Vị trí nằm ngay trung tâm phố cổ, đi bộ 5p ra blue mosque và các địa điểm du lịch nổi tiếng khác

Cons:

Phòng hơi nhỏ, nhưng phù hợp với giá tiền. Vào đêm tôi đến thì máy sưởi không hoạt động, bác chủ nhà tốt bụng đã phải lên mấy lần để sửa, finally it work :)

Pros:

Blizina svih znamenitosti. Omar je bio susretljiv i ljubazan. Doručak je bio ok.
Bilo je čisto. Falili su peškiri za jednu osobu. Sve u svemu bilo je prosječno.

Cons:

Mala soba. Mali prozor koji gleda na dvorište koje je bilo znatno neuredno.
Mali hotel ali blizina svih znamenitosti ga izvlači.

Buena
Pros:

Cerca de lugares de interés y transporte, relación calidad precio que incluye desayuno me parece bien. Si quieres más lujo pues lo pagas pero para dormir y pasar unas noches me parece bien. Calefacción y aire acondicionado.

Cons:

El baño la ducha está junto a todo. Faltaba un poco de limpieza pero por lo demás ha sido agradable.

Buen precio
Pros:

Por el precio de la habitación no se puede pedir más. Estaba bien ubicado, incluye desayuno y el personal era bastante amable, además las camas muy cómodas.

Cons:

Lo que menos nos gustó es que nos tocó la habitación en el sótano, pero imagino que con una habitación en las otras plantas, la experiencia hubiera sido mejor. Por el resto, en relación calidad-precio bien, ya que está en pleno centro de Estambul.
