Pros:

Нам всё понравилось, это был замечательный отпуск. Изначально мы бронировали только на 5 дней, но поскольку отель нам так понравился, мы продлили бронирование ещё на 3 дня и остались здесь на весь отпуск. Персонал даже предоставил нам бесплатное такси и был очень любезен 🥰 Я бы порекомендовал этот отель всем.

Cons:

Нам всё понравилось, минусов нет.

El peor hotel de Estambul con azotea.
Pros:

Es imposible que guste algo de este alojamiento.
La palabra hotel le viene grande.

Cons:

Cualquier parecido con las fotos y la puntuación de booking es pura coincidencia.
Nos han cambiado de hotel, a peor, al llegar, alegando problemas en una habitación.
No merece la puntuación de booking y las fotos deben de ser de IA.
No debería estar en Booking.
Está sucio, ruidoso, el desayuno es muy malo.
Nos cancelaron la reserva de booking para cobrarnos en efectivo.

Pros:

For the price, it’s a good hotel. All the main attractions are nearby, the breakfast is decent, but don’t expect anything fancy. There’s also a beautiful view from the terrace.

The owner is very friendly and welcoming. Wishing his hotel continued success!

Cons:

The only downside is that we were aware of these issues beforehand, so they didn’t bother us: the shower leaks a little, and there is some mold in places in the bathroom.

Not a clean place but friendly staff.
Pros:

Friendly and helpful staff with nice breakfast.

Cons:

Nothing felt clean, the room and bathroom were quite smelly and I didn’t feel comfortable having bare feet on the floor. Didn’t look much like the photos at all. Location not in the nicest part of Istanbul but not too far from the main area.

Gran atención y ayuda en todo momento
Pros:

El responsable Gokham fue de gran ayuda en nuestro viaje por Turquía, nos ofreció varios servicios, que si bien no los tomamos, apreciamos mucho su gran disposición de ayuda para con nosotros.
Nuestra habitación era grande y los amenities muy bonitos.
Tuvieron la gentileza de guardarnos una maleta durante toda una semana.
Un buen desayuno en general la pasamos muy bien.
Para aquellos viajeros que buscan estar cerca de los principales lugares a visitar en Estambul lo recomendamos mucho

Cons:

Los espacios comunes como lobby o restaurant no cuentan con baño. Quizás es algo que necesitan mejorar. Pero nada grave

Pros:

Нам очень понравилось проживание в этом отеле. Номер был чистым, уютным и оборудован всем необходимым для комфортного отдыха. Завтраки были очень вкусными и разнообразными. Особенно хочется отметить прекрасный вид с террасы — это было идеальное место, чтобы начать день. Персонал очень вежливый, доброжелательный и всегда готов помочь. Отдельная благодарность владельцу отеля за его отзывчивость, гостеприимство и помощь в любых вопросах. Благодаря ему мы чувствовали себя как дома.

Pros:

Отель оставил очень положительные впечатления🥰 Отель, завтрак 10/10; расположение 100/10; терраса 1000/10; сервис и сотрудники 10000000/10❤️ очень теплая и уютная атмосфера, благодаря работникам отеля, возвращаешься будто домой после долго дня прогулок🥰 за всю поездку останавливалась в трех отелях, но нигде так как тут тепло не встречают, в общем, я в восторге, желаю процветания и много много гостей, пусть больше путешественников узнают о Вас, дай Аллах, еще вернусь обьязательно🥰 а еще совсем рядом, за поворотом есть очень классное кафе Достар если не ошибаюсь, там очень вкусная еда и очень приемлемые цены и такие же приятные, доброжелательные сотрудники, обьязательно сходите🥰

Pros:

We cannot praise Gokhan, the owner, highly enough. We have stayed in hundreds of hostels, guesthouses and hotels over the years and have never met such a friendly, accommodating,kind and generous proprietor. He always goes that extra mile for each and everyone of his guests. The buffet breakfast was excellent, everything you could wish for but he's still planning to add more. The view from the roof terrace is fantastic, it may only be on the smaller side but a lovely spot to sit and relax. The room was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Superb mattress and pillows. Soap, shower gel, shampoo, shaving equipment, toothbrushes and toothpaste all provided. Extra stocks of things in the sink cupboard. Kettle, tea and coffee in the room plus always available on the roof terrace area.Fabulous lighting in the room, some under the bed which gave off a beautiful glow. Daily cleaning of the room available if you want it. TV in the room and we were able to watch the World Cup. Bottled water provided daily plus a refill machine in the reception area. The location is excellent, a 5 minute walk down hill on Food Street, from the tram stop. All the main attractions within easy walkable distance. Outside the hotel ,on a little backstreet lane, is a seating area which is perfect for watching the world go by and no problem bringing your own alcohol.
York Hotel is a true gem, would highly recommend and we wish Gokhan every success as he has not owned it for very long and is constantly working to ever improve his facilities and service.

Cons:

There is nothing to dislike, however, there are some small improvements to be made. Gokhan is aware of these and is striving to put them in place. In our room, for example, the shower head did not have a holder, hardly a massive hardship.

Pros:

Отель расположен недалеко от трамвайной и автобусной линии. До метро немного дольше, но не критично. Очень хорошо нас встретили, приняли и отправили. Из-за чего не могу просто оставить плохой отзыв. Номер был на первом этаже, не пришлось подниматься по крутой лестнице. Окна первого этажа выходят на стену и до нее практически 20 см. Все бы хорошо, так как цена и это позволяет, но есть моменты. Там находятся кондиционеры. Открыть, лично я, не смогла из-за запаха и шума. Без окна очень душно. В целом, цена за этот отель адекватная.

Cons:

1. Ванная комната требует ухода. Нужно почистить вентиляцию и что то сделать с протеканием из-за душа, тк после душа весь пол в воде. Так как туалетная комната очень крохотная, все недочеты уборки видны сразу. Есть плесень.
2. Уборка территории за окном. Кошачий запах бьет сразу при открытии окна.
3. Завтрак. Очень скудный завтрак.
