Excelent
Pros:

Am avut o experiență foarte plăcută la această proprietate. În primul rând, poziționarea este excelentă, fiind aproape de atracțiile principale, de diverse activități și de transportul în comun, ceea ce a făcut deplasarea foarte ușoară.

Micul dejun mi-a plăcut mult – nu este extrem de bogat, dar este mai mult decât suficient, foarte gustos și pregătit cu atenție la detalii.

Camera a fost curată și îngrijită, oferind un spațiu confortabil pentru relaxare. De asemenea, un mare plus este existența liftului, care facilitează accesul către etajele superioare.

Personalul merită menționat în mod special: toți au fost foarte prietenoși, zâmbitori și comunicativi, creând o atmosferă caldă și primitoare. Am apreciat și micile atenții, precum ceaiul, cafeaua și broșurile puse la dispoziție.

Chiar și în situațiile în care nu ajungeam la micul dejun, proprietara se interesa constant dacă avem nevoie de ceva, demonstrând o grijă reală pentru oaspeți. Se vede că sunt foarte atenți la detalii și la confortul celor cazați.

Cu siguranță, aceasta va fi prima mea opțiune de cazare atunci când voi reveni în Istanbul. Recomand cu drag această locație!🇹🇷🩷

Pros:

Die Unterkunft war super und hatte eine tolle Lage im Stadtzentrum in der Nähe von fast allen Sehenswürdigkeiten.Das Zimmer war sauber,ordentlich und hatte alles was wir für unseren Aufenthalt gebraucht haben.Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit.Das Frühstück war eher einfach,aber es gab trotzdem für jeden etwas,egal ob süß oder herzhaft.

Cons:

Einziger Minuspunkt war das sehr schlechte Internet.
Auch die Lüftung im Bad war ziemlich schwach,sodass es dort schnell stickig wurde,wenn man länger als ein paar Minuten drin war.Die Betten waren im Doppelzimmer leider auch nicht besonders bequem,weil zwei Einzelbetten zusammengeschoben waren sodass mein Mann oder ich ständig in die Mitte bzw. in die Lücke gerutscht sind.

Bastante bien.
Pros:

Personal muy muy amable.La ubicación excelente.La habitación y el desayuno correcto.

Cons:

El cuarto de baño es bastante pequeño y viejo,quizás una reforma le vendría excelente.Pero tampoco es algo que importa tanto en un viaje porque no vas a estar mucho tiempo en la habitación.
