Pros:

Просторный номер. Завтрак. Цена. В третий раз в Стамбуле, это лучший отель который мне пришлось посетить. Предыдущие отели были дороже, меньше и без завтрака.

Pros:

Το δωμάτιο ήταν μεγαλύτερο από ότι περιμέναμε! Το πρωινό ικανοποιητικό με ωραίες γεύσεις. Το προσωπικό πολύ ευγενικό χαρούμενο ειδικά η κυρία που μας έφτιαχνε το καφέ στο πρωινό! Η τοποθεσία φοβερή, πηγαίναμε παντού με τα πόδια!

I recommend this hotel overall
Pros:

The hotel met our expectations. The location was excellent, within walking distance of all the places we wanted to visit, and the staff were very helpful.
During our last night, there was a street-level power outage. Although this was outside the hotel’s control, the staff kindly offered us another room in their building across the street.

Cons:

The power outage, although outside the hotel’s control, caused some unexpected inconvenience during our stay.

They should close
Pros:

Nothing really, it was a nightmare staying here

Cons:

I've never written a bad review of a hotel but this one really deserves it.. to start, problems with the basics, AC never worked, it's summertime come on, and there was a huge ball of hair in one of the chairs, disgusting.. that was inly the beggining,. The night I arrived started a blackout.. nobody answered in reception, or anywhere.. and when talking to them personally they just acted like nothing was going on.. no power at all in the hotwl, but the real problem was that the staff were just avoiding everything related and doing nothing about it.. they didn't know if the power was gonna be back some time and they didn't want to make refunds, just told people to leave if they have issues with the situation.. what kind of nightmare was that, and with people with no criteria at all
