cerca del centro y muy amables
Pros:

situado a cinco minutos del centro, lastima no tener transporte publico mas cercano ya que son cuestas para llegar al centro, pero nada en 8 minutos estabas en el centro de Estambul
personal muy amable aunque no maneja mucho ingles pero muy educados, cogimos transfer con ellos para aeropuerto y todo un acierto pese a los 100 €

Cons:

desayuno repetitivo sin opción de cambio, la terraza de arriba cuesta acceder a ella y esta medio abandonada

Amazing amazing place, will definitely be back next time i am in Istanbul
Pros:

The location could NOT be better. Walking distance to so much history, view of a 1500 year old church/mosque, amazing terrace, quiet neighbourhood. The staff were amazing and very nice.

Cons:

Of course the building is in a historic neighbourhood so it has its quirks like a narrow staircase and the room I got was on the small side, but honestly this is not a big deal as there is so much to see in istanbul you're only there to sleep

Pros:

The receptionist Zakariya was very polite and helped me out a lot and took care of us. He had every opportunity to make a quick buck off of us but didn’t. The staff were friendly the location is very good and everything was top tier. The terrace at the top was also a nice addition. I stayed on the ground floor in the first room and everything was perfect. The WiFi was 10/10 which came in clutch.

Cons:

Nothing I disliked tbh.

Right in my the centre, everything was within walking distance. The hotel is full of character, so is Beethoven who made us feel very much at home

Cons:

The rooms are tiny, but hey, that added to the charm of the place

Pros:

La camera era meravigliosa con un affaccio incredibile sulla piccola santa Sofia. Non è enorme va bene per un soggiorno fino a quattro/cinque notti. Lo staff è super gentile,accogliente e disponibile. Acqua, tè e caffè sempre disponibili. La reception è aperta h 24 per aiutarti in qualsiasi difficoltà. La posizione è perfetta per girare a piedi sultanahmet. La colazione è abbondante ma poco varia. Consiglio vivamente il Sofia corner hotel per il vostro indimenticabile soggiorno a Istanbul.

Pros:

Великолепный маленький отельчик! Ооочень душевный и уютный, такое ощущение что приехал к родственникам в гости) Очень внимательное отношение персонала, самого владельца отеля (он по утрам постоянно находится в отеле, помнит всех гостей по именам, интересуется как прошел день, какие планы). Поздравили с днем рождения маленьким тортиком - без предупреждения и просьб) было очень приятно! Вид с террасы-просто захватывает дух! Завтраки сытные, каждый день одно и тоже, конечно-но нам было нормально) Кофе, чай, вода- все можно брать в течении дня бесплатно. В номере холодильник, фен, чашки, чайник, чай, кофе, гель для душа, мыло, шампунь, тапочки, полотенца. Номер нам достался очень маленький для двоих, но мы привыкшие, разместились) Месторасположение-шикарное, очень тихо и спокойно. Совсем рукой подать до маленькой Айя Софии, там же рядом очень хороший ресторанчик по нормальному ценнику. В общем, рекомендую! Уезжать и прощаться было грустно! Персоналу и владельцу отеля Бетховену-отдельная благодарность за очень радушный и внимательный прием!

Pros:

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour dans cet hôtel. Les photos sur booking ne sont pas trop représentatives de la réalité. Les chambres sont petites mais c'est suffisant pour y dormir.
L'endroit est calme, hyper bien situé pour tout visiter à pied.
C est dommage que la terrasse ne soit pas exploitée à cette époque.
Le petit dejeuner est servi avec une grande omelette et des crudités avec du pain aussi.
Le personnel a été très
serviable et nous a organisé notre sortie puis le transfert vers l'aéroport

Cons:

Dans l'ensemble, tout s'est très bien passé.

Pros:

Lo primero agradecer a todos los trabajadores su recibimiento y en especial a Beethoven hicieron que nuestra instancia pasara de la mejor manera posible.Unas personas encantadoras.La ubicación del hotel una de las mejores para poder visitar todo a pie , tranvía incluso el ferry. El mismo aotobus que te recogen en el aeropuerto IST te deja a 5 minutos andando del hotel y para la vuelta igual.(ÇATLADIKAPI -SULTANAHMET-HVIST).Muchas gracias por todo. Pronto volveremos.

Kleines aber feines Hotel mit viel Gastfreundschaft
Pros:

Sehr freundlicher Gastgeber und generell sehr gastfreundliches Personal!
Frühstück war klein aber fein, hat alles gut gepasst.

Man darf bei dem Preis jetzt kein Luxus-Hotel erwarten.
Zimmer war wirklich klein, aber man braucht auch nicht mehr auf einem Städte-Trip.
Betten waren sehr fein und das Zimmer sauber.

Lage ist Top, also sehr empfehlenswert wer mit Budget nach Istanbul reist :)
