Excellente situation et accueil avec un excellent rapport qualité prix.
Pros:

Accueil très chaleureux des propriétaires avec un verre de vin et des cacahuètes.
Services et conseils irréprochables
Situation de l'hôtel excellente, à 5mn de la mosquée bleue et de restaurants. Nous conseillons vivement aussi celui situé juste à côté à droite. Chambre familiale spacieuse et à l'arrière au calme. Bouteille d'eau dans la chambre, avec du thé et du café.
Roftop agréable avec vue sur le Bosphore !
Petit déjeuner suffisant, sans chichi.

Cons:

La salle de bain très petite pour une chambre familiale de 3 personnes et qui aurait bien besoin d'être rénovée. Et un petit coup de rafraîchissement serait aussi le bien venu dans la chambre.
Mais le tarif justifie largement le confort !

Pros:

Чудесный семейный отель! Отличное месторасположение- все рядом: транспорт, самые главные достопримечательности. Очень хороший вкусный и сытный завтрак! Очень уютные номера. Отличный вид с террасы и из окон. Хороший устойчивый WiFi. Очень удобные кровати- высыпались и расслаблялись после длительных прогулок. Хозяева очень приветливые и внимательные к своим посетителям. В дождливую погоду предлагают зонты. Так же всегда предлагают вызвать такси в аэропорт, если требуется. Подсказывают как добраться в нужное место. Всем рекомендую этот отель. Приедем еще не раз.

Pros:

I loved the family home feel and the warm welcome from the owner. She was delightful. It was a wonderful location and holds history as it was previously owned by the grandma. The rooftop deck was great for the views

Cons:

Nothing, we were a short stay. It suited our needs

Pros:

Настоящий семейный очаг для туристов. Исключительно положительные эмоции и впечатления. Весь персонал улыбчив и отзывчив, хозяйка всегда рядом ) Сразу ощущалась забота и участие. Приятный бонус в виде завтрака. Помощь с вызовом такси в аэропорт и вкусный кофе со сладостями на дорожку )
Расположение - лучше не придумать, в самом сердце лучших мест Стамбула.

Gran descubrimiento con una localización fantástica
Pros:

La amabilidad de los dueños, pendientes de cada detalle, facilitando enormemente la estancia y las visitas a la ciudad con detallazos ofrecidos de manera desinteresasa. Mención especial a J.J. y a la cocinera del desayuno, amabilísimos y muy dispuestos a ayudar.
La habitación familiar es perfecta para tres personas, con acceso privado y directo por ascensor.
La ubicación es excepcional, dentro del barrio Fatih pero en una zona muy tranquila y a tan solo 100 mts andando de Hagia Sofía, Mezquita Azul y Palacio Topkapi. Tiene al lado un restaurante con una relación calidad-precio muy buena, el Pallatium.

Altamente recomendable por muchas razones y con un.precio imbatible.

Cons:

Me gustó todo.

Sehr schön.
Pros:

Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Gute Kommunikation. Ideale Lage. Man ist sofort "mittendrin". In der Nachbarschaft gibt es viele Restaurants. Die Verkehrsanbindung ist sehr gut. Vieles lässt sich auch zu Fuß gut erreichen. Von der Dachterrasse hat man einen sehr guten Blick auf den Bosporus.
Es ist ein einfaches kleines Hotel ohne viel Drumherum. Wer eine einfache Unterkunft mit sehr gutem Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis in bester Lage sucht, ist hier genau richtig.
