Merveilleux séjour à Arife Sultan Hotel

Mon amie et moi avons passé un excellent séjour à Arife Sultan Hotel. L’emplacement est parfait, à quelques minutes à pied des principales attractions comme la Mosquée Bleue et Sainte-Sophie. Une station de tramway se trouve à 5 min de l'hôtel Le personnel est extrêmement accueillant, toujours prêt à aider et très professionnel.La chambre était propre, confortable et bien équipée. Le petit-déjeuner était varié et délicieux. Je
recommande vivement cet hôtel pour un séjour à Istanbul ! Très bon rapport qualite/prix! Nous reviendrons!!!

Pros:

Το προσωπικό ήταν εκπληκτικό! Ευγενικοι, Πρόθυμοι να σε βοηθήσουν σε όλα, έκαναν τα πάντα για να βεβαιωθούν ότι έχουμε ότι θέλουμε! Πήραν και έξτρα χρόνο να μας εξηγήσουν τον χάρτη και γενικά τι να κάνουμε κ πως να γυρίσουμε την πόλη. Το πρωινό αν και φαινομενικά μικρό είχε τόσο όσο πράγματα για να μπορείς να ξεκινήσεις την μέρα σου! Τέλος, η τοποθεσία ήταν απλά τέλεια. Δίπλα στο τραμ γραμμή Τ1 και δίπλα σε όλα τα κύρια αξιοθεατα. Σίγουρα αν γυρνούσα στην πόλη θα πηγαινα εκεί πάλι γιατι για την τιμή του ήταν τελειο.

Cons:

Ενώ τα δωμάτια ήταν όμορφα, θα ήταν καλό να γινοταν ένας έλεγχος για αντικατάσταση λίγο πιο παλιών πραγμάτων.

Pros:

My sister and I had a great stay. Everything was excellent and the staff was very kind and helpful. On the first day, Yesin (girl that worked there) s
howed us everything on the map and explained what is nearby. She was always available if we needed anything. It was my sister’s birthday, and Yesin surprised her with a small muffin, which was really sweet. The breakfast was good and the location is excellent. We truly recommend this hotel!
