Pros:

Ubicación y desayuno

Cons:

Baño muy pequeño y estrecho en una habitación suite. Con un mini armario para colocar la ropa y tan solo 4 perchas . No se entiende esas estrecheces en un hotel semejante con la habitación escogida

Pros:

Расположение отеля, неплохой завтрак (за исключением кофе), отличный персонал

Cons:

Кофе на завтраке из аппарата просто ужасен.
Рычаг на смесителе в ванной стильный, но им очень неудобно пользоваться.
Одна из двух кроватей была с продавленным матрасом.

Pros:

Amazing location, close to Taksim square and public transport. Very good hotel, even though it is located on a very busy street, the rooms are quite. Rooms are clean and breakfast is outstanding! Vast variety of dishes, especially like the squashed eggs. Again location is amazing, Galata tower is approximately 15 minutes walk, bus stop 5 minutes walk. Recommend this hotel for both vacation and work trip.
