Впетачления не из лучших.
Pros:

Понравилось только расположение отеля.
Район Фатих, главные достопримечательности недалеко от отеля.

Cons:

Фото совсем не соответствуют реальности. Скорее всего, снимки были сделаны еще при открытии отеля. Терраса, которая и привлекла мое внимание при выборе, оказалась в ужасном состоянии, и, похоже, готовить её к приезду гостей никто не собирался.

Дверь на балкон сильно изношена, плотно не закрывается, остаются большие щели. Пыль не вытирается, к нашему приезду, судя по всему, только сменили постельное бельё и помыли полы.

И самое главное — в комнате, куда нас заселили, были клопы! Это недопустимо. Очень разочарованы проживанием.

Pros:

Nous avons passé un superbe séjour dans cet hôtel familial. L’emplacement est idéal, proche de tout, ce qui a rendu notre séjour encore plus agréable. Le gérant est extrêmement gentil, attentif et toujours à l’écoute de nos demandes, ce qui fait vraiment la différence.
L’hôtel est propre, bien entretenu et offre un excellent rapport qualité-prix. Une adresse que nous recommandons sans hésiter !

Cons:

Rien

Good location, but don’t expect much - fair value for money.
Pros:

The location is great - close to the old city centre. There was hot water in the shower, and basic toiletries like shampoo were provided. The Wi-Fi was good enough, and slippers were also available.

Cons:

There was no hot water in the tap. There were no hooks or hangers in the bathroom, so it wasn’t possible to hang a towel or toilet paper conveniently. There was no hairdryer. The air conditioner didn’t have a remote control, so we had to use an app to switch it on. There was a sock behind the window, which felt a bit strange. Card payment wasn’t available, only cash, although this wasn’t a major issue. There were some fabric pills on the mattress, which was slightly unpleasant, but not a major issue. There was no microwave, but we didn’t really need one.

Dejó mucho que desear
Pros:

Buena ubicación para salir a comer. Para llegar a santa Sofía tenes aprox 25 min caminando

Cons:

No contaba con lo que dice la publicación,ademas a mitad de la estadía nos cambiaron de habitación
No había secador de pelo
No había pava eléctrica
No había microondas
No habia barral para colgar las perchas
No había para planchar
No nos limpiaron ni una vez la habitación ni nos cambiaron las sabanas, estuvimos 5 días
Había un enchufe cerca de la cama pero tenía que enchufar la heladera allí ya que no contaba con otro enchufe cerca de la heladera.
Además estaban en construcción y a veces había muchísimo ruido que picaban o que utilizaban la amoladora.

Jedná se o levné ubytování s vybavením a funkčností odpovídající ceně. Personál vlídný a vstřícný.
Pros:

Výborná lokalita ve starém městě, vše nadosah pěší chůze. Poněkud hlučnější ulice do velmi pozdních hodin, což je zřejmě cena za možnost být v této lokalitě.

Our stay was a very very great one. Will never forget! We already miss Turkiye.
Pros:

First of all the owner was very nice and always helpful. I did not book taxi transfer with the hotel and had a problem on our arrival. As soon as I called Mr Hamdan he solved this problem and made us felt more comfortable. There were supermarkets, restaurants & café, markets and many many shops near the hotel and in the surroundings. Metro/train stations were accessible at meters. Safe to walk at night. We had a girls out the day before our departure. There are lots of good feedback. Each part of Istanbul is special and gives off a cosy atmosphere and also give vibes. You must visit Turkiye and live moments there to understand that feeling. In any case, we are in love with this country🥰😍. It is a really must go! 👏❤️👍

Cons:

Nothing to do with the hotel. I must say that we didn't like the approach of the people at the Airport. They were not that much helpful. I have read that you must be on your own and its really true. This can be improved as tourists deserve to get warm welcome and appropriate guides.
