Estancia para recordar
Pros:

El hotel tiene una relación calidad precio EXCELENTE.
Su situación es perfecta, pues está a unos 8 minutos andando de la plaza de Sultanahmet, donde se encuentran las mezquitas de Santa Sofía y Azul, que es arteria de transportes o lugar de encuentro de free tours.
La habitación que ocupe tenia un tamaño bueno, para lo que comentan de los hoteles de Estambul, y contaba con dos camas con colchón y almohadas muy comodos (una doble y otra individual), con un armario abierto, estante para café/te, frigorífico y luego ducha amplia con sus correspondientes amenities.
El aire acondicionado funcionaba a la perfección y tiene un sistema de domótica de luces excelente.
En cuanto a la limpieza, adecuada en todas las instalaciones.
Los desayunos muy variados (no entiendo a la gente que previamente dice aquí que no lo son). Son evidentemente siempre lo mismo, pero todos los días hay variedad de dulces y frutas, pero a mayores fiambre, yogur, huevos revueltos, zumo envasado y un café estupendo con un rico sabor, es decir lo que viene a ser un desayuno continental variado. También cenamos 3 días, que al ser clientes tienes un 20% de descuento y con una calidad y sabor excelentes, además de salir más económico que en muchos restaurantes.
He dejado para lo ultimo al personal, porque es de 10, no he estado en ningún hotel donde se puede percibir esa amabilidad tan enorme. Desde recepción a limpieza, pasando por camareros, encargados todo han sido siempre atenciones y buen servicio. Siempre atentos al mínimo detalle, por poner un ejemplo, ya hecho el check out y esperando el Transfer en la terraza, salieron para ofrecerme un café o te de regalo mientras esperaba.
Gracias a Irfan, Adhmed, y a todo el personal que me es difícil recordar sus nombres al ser tan diferentes a los españoles, por haber hecho de mi estancia una experiencia estupenda.
Desde luego, si algún día vuelvo a Estambul tengo claro que mi estancia será en el Kate Hotel.

Cons:

Lo único a reseñar es que falta en la televisión algún canal que hable en español y que sea de España, pues el que hay telesur hablan pero no. Poner por lo menos el canal de noticias 24 horas, pero si se pudiera incluir TV1, Antena 3 ya sería genial.
