宾至如归
Pros:

很小很温暖的酒店。位置很好，闹中取静。经理Alpes非常绅士、友好并且仔细负责，亲自帮我们把几个大箱子拎上拎下。酒店的早餐非常好吃，住了三天，每天都不一样，很是喜欢。出门几十米右转出城门就是马尔马拉海边。不远处就是老城中心，那里应有尽有。我很幸运选中这个酒店。

Cons:

酒店后面有铁路线，但火车很少，夜里几乎没有。关上卫生间的门并不影响我们。

Υπέροχο τριήμερο στη βροχερή Πόλη
Pros:

Όλα.. τα δωμάτια, ο πολύ άνετο στρώμα, το υπέροχο και τεράστιο μπάνιο, η εξαιρετική καθαριότητα και ο οικοδεσπότης μας.. πρωινό δεν πήραμε οπότε δεν έχω άποψη

Cons:

Το μόνο θέμα ήταν η φασαρία του τρένου που περνάει ακριβώς πίσω από το κατάλυμα.. αλλά αυτό δεν διορθώνεται δυστυχώς..Επίσης, αν έχετε θέματα κινητικότητας, ζητήστε δωμάτιο στο ισόγειο… η σκάλα είναι απότομη και πολύ δύσκολη.

Pros:

A wonderful cozy mini-hotel in the old part of the city, within walking distance from the sights. Wonderful comfortable rooms. Friendly staff. A simple but satisfying breakfast. I recommend.

Cons:

The only drawback is the subway line that runs right under the hotel windows. This adds some inconvenience related to the noise during passing trains.

Pros:

Posizione centrale.

Cons:

Struttura attaccata ai binari della ferrovia con rumori e addirittura vibrazioni della stanza ad ogni passaggio di treno, che iniziavano molto presto la mattina per concludersi tardi la sera (soprattutto nei giorni feriali).

Stanza all’ingresso della struttura dalla quale sentivamo il rumore del portone sbattere all’entrata/uscita di ogni ospite.

Insonorizzazione completamente assente.

It rained constantly during our stay, so it was great to come back to a warm and cozy hotel.
Pros:

The hotel is located on a secluded street, next to the train tracks, but the passing trains do not disturb the peace and relaxation. The hotel is very cozy and warm, the staff is wonderful.
It rained constantly during our stay, so it was great to come back to a warm and cozy hotel. There are many cafes nearby where you can have breakfast and dinner. Everything is close by, markets, mosques.

Cons:

Breakfast is simple, nothing special. The bedroom pillows were too big for me, as I like softer and smaller ones.

Excellent
Pros:

Everything is excellent, a perfect accommodation for a short vacation, the host is very kind. Only a few minutes walk to the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia. Everything is clean, I was delighted by the little touches, such as the shaving kit and toothbrush that were waiting for me in the bathroom — things I would have had to buy anyway...

Cons:

If I had to point out something, it’s that I occasionally heard the metro passing by and the soundproofing isn’t the best, but honestly, even that didn’t bother me. A charming place to stay!

Pros:

Все отлично!

Cons:

Шумновато. Дверь тонкая и выходит в общий коридор. Рядом железная дорога, если проходит поезд, то звенят чашки

Wonderful stay and great hospitality
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at White Palace Hotel in Istanbul. The hotel is very tastefully decorated and has a warm, cozy atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly hospitable and friendly. They really do everything to make you feel comfortable and welcome.

Our room was clean and comfortable, and the location is convenient for exploring the city. The breakfast is traditional Turkish, which is very nice, and if you prefer something different, they are happy to prepare an omelet, yogurt with muesli and other options on request.

We also arranged an airport transfer through the hotel, which was very convenient and comfortable. Everything was well organized and made our trip much easier.

Overall, we had a very pleasant experience and would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Pros:

The hotel is extremely tasteful and our room was super comfortable. We had a beautiful stay and it was simply magical to wake up into the vibe of the old town, surrounded by beauty and history. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive, and made us feel like home within moments of our check-in.

Cons:

The only slight disadvantage is a tram line right next to the hotel. The hotel itself is in a quieter corner of the neighbourhood, but the most sensitive sleepers might need to prepare for the rumbling of the tram in the early hours.
