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.

Pros:

La ubicación

Cons:

Todo era muy “comprimido” en el baño había olor
Me esperaba un poco más del desayuno y el sector para desayunar era en el último nivel por una escalera interminable, aunque las vistas eran hermosas!

Pros:

Самый центр, но разрешили поставить авто прям под отелем. Бесплатно. Правда это февраль) Вид с терассы при завтраке на Босфор. Завтрак хороший. Приехали в час ночи, поселили без проблем. Добрый дедушка на ресепшене. Приехали голодные, ночь, но возле отеля куча круглосуточных заведений с едой.

Cons:

Размер номера)

A peaceful place in busy Istanbul. I really felt the kindness of Turkish hospitality here. Thank you
Pros:

There are only wonderful things about this place - Thank you both so much.

In the busy atmosphere of Istanbul - This is a quiet and peaceful place to return. The balcony overlooked the sea each morning. It is a five walk to the Blue Mosque and close to the seafront too.

The man was so kind, respectful and nice. He made sure my heating worked, my sheets were changed every day, he always smiled, greeted me, the atmosphere was like a home away from home.

Cons:

All perfect.

Pros:

Un vrai coup de cœur !

L’emplacement est absolument parfait : tout est accessible à pied, on est proche de tout, ce qui rend le séjour hyper pratique et agréable.

C’est un petit hôtel simple et plein de charme. Ce n’est peut-être pas le plus luxueux, mais pour le prix (environ 20€ la nuit !), c’est tout simplement incroyable.

L’hôte est vraiment adorable, super accueillant et toujours disponible. On se sent tout de suite à l’aise.

Mention spéciale pour le lit : je n’ai jamais aussi bien dormi de ma vie ! Le matelas est exceptionnel, ultra confortable. Franchement, c’était difficile de se lever le matin tellement on y dort bien.

Tout était nickel : eau chaude, chambre propre, rien à redire.

Et la terrasse du petit-déjeuner… juste incroyable. Prendre son thé le matin avec cette vue, c’est un vrai moment de bonheur.

Je recommande à 100 %, surtout si vous cherchez un endroit bien situé, chaleureux et avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

Pros:

The location is perfect for sightseeing, the breakfast was nice with a great view, the owner was pleasant

Cons:

They put us in a room in the basement, where we could hear everytime someone flashed the toilet. The room was not really clean, the shower hose was broken, so the water was spraying everywhere and it was almost impossible to shower
The personnel was shouting/talking very loudly in front of our door at 7-8 am and woke us up. They didn’t clean our room or changed the towels during our stay
