Amazing staff, the perfect option near attractions, food and transport
Pros:

Location is great for the price and right next to many restaurants. Main attractions are walking distance and there are also shops nearby to get water and snacks. Staff were incredible and so helpful, they made the trip better as a result with their advice. Always happy to be messaged on WhatsApp with questions about best travel and the attractions.

Pros:

Местоположение практически в центре, при этом на тихой улице. Менеджер очень гостеприимный, подсказывал по бытовым вопросам, например, как добраться от аэропорта, как купить стамбулкарт. Номер небольшой, но уютный

More then you could ever imagine
Pros:

It was a very lovely property, just like shown in the pictures. Loved everything they offered. One thing I have to mention is the hospitality of the manager. He took care of us really well in terms of communication and even cooked for us one night. Truly one of the unforgettable stays! Highly recommended.

Cons:

None.

Personnel agréable et disponible, mais pas d'eau chaude
Pros:

J'ai aimé la déco, la propreté et le confort du lit, ainsi que le balcon

Cons:

Il n'y avait pas d'eau chaude. Détail très important surtout en hiver. Mon séjour a donc été assez inconfortable à cause de ca : je ne pouvais pas prendre de douche froide alors qu'il faisait si froid

Pros:

Staff was very nice and helpful. Cozy hotel. Great location in a nice neighborhood with a lot of restaurants around. Walking distance from a lot of attractions. Very local feeling.

Cons:

There was a weird smell coming from the bathroom, and the walls were not very soundproof. There were stains on the sheets and some of the towels.
