Pros:

Très bon emplacement à proximité du tram, personnel très attentionné et aidant. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut dans la chambre (sauf des volets ou rideaux pour la lumière du jour)

Cons:

Manque d'isolation phonique, couette un peu trop petite pour un lit 2 places

Pros:

The cozy common area and the guy who checked us in were the only positives. He was extremely friendly, replied to messages quickly, and genuinely tried to help us.

Cons:

Overall, the rooms are dirty. During our 5-day stay, the rooms were not cleaned at all, and the towels were never changed either. The rooms are neglected: cabinet handles are broken, there is mold in the shower, springs are sticking out of the mattress, and some towels are torn or stained.

The bathroom is very inconvenient — there are no shelves to place personal belongings, and there is not even a toilet paper holder; the toilet paper was simply left next to the sink.

Overall, the rooms look neat and stylish in the photos, but in reality they do not match the pictures at all. I would not recommend staying here for people who value at least basic comfort

Pros:

Clean, comfortable, amazing value for money, location is close to all stations you may need and 10 minute walk from both city center and grand bazaar.
The staff is very friendly and responds within a minute, always eager to help.
I doubt you can get more for this price in Istanbul.

Pros:

Спокійне затишне місце, неподалік набережної. Також недалеко знаходиться вулиця, де можна вечером відпочити, поїсти, послухати живу музику. Загалом враження позитивні.

Pros:

Hotel Manager Abdullah has been super helpful and kind before and during our stay. We got the room that we booked and it was a beautiful, cosy room with sea view, and lovely decor. The hotel is close to the train station, sea side, and it is in a nice neighbourhood.

El mejor lugar para quedarte en Estambul calidad-precio
Pros:

El alojamiento está ubicado en una muy buena zona, cerca al transporte público, rodeada de muchos restaurantes y a pocos minutos caminando de la plaza de Sultanahmet, lo que lo convierte en un lugar ideal. Abdallah es un gran anfitrión, facilita muchas cosas ya que habla inglés y conoce muy bien la zona. Sin duda alguna volvería.

Cons:

Por mejorar: el wifi llegaba un poco lento a la habitación y las sabanas están un poco manchadas, por lo que sería bueno renovarlas.
