Buen lugar para quedarse en Estambul
Pros:

El personal muy amable y siempre preocupado, el desayuno abundante y sabroso. La ubicación es muy buena cerca de restaurantes y de la locomocion

Cons:

El sector del comedor mantiene un olor permantente a comida, para ir a las habitaciones habia que pasar por ahi, lo cual no era tan agradable.

Great location, great staff
Pros:

The hotel is in a great location, very central to all the main sights.
The interior is beautiful and very comfortable. We felt rested, relaxed, quiet considering the central location. The staff went out of their way to help us and provide direction, hints, insights, etc. All the main sights were within a walking distance or from public transportation.

Cons:

The only downside is the breakfast was not so good for Turkey

Old City Grandeur
Pros:

Istanbul first timers can’t go wrong with this hotel location. Five minute walk to Hagia Sophia and the same for the spice bazaar, the palace and blue Mosque- 5-10 minutes. We had a King Suite was very comfortable and spacious with a nice view of the harbour and full of old world elegance. The building is converted bank, it has beautiful high ceilings and hand painted frescos so there is a feeling of grandeur. No big lobby or bar, everything is run from a small front desk. The staff were welcoming and very helpful. Post booking, the communication prior to our arrival was excellent. Unlike some of the old city hotels, taxis can go right to the front door of the hotel. Complimentary water was left every day and the room was serviced nicely. The bed was king size and firm with good pillows. Breakfast was adequate but could have done with better cereal selection and some fresh fruit. The ladies preparing the food were lovely. The Hotel manager organised a return transfer for us and it was only 100euro or 5100 lira return. You may find better hotels and there will be something wrong with all them so just stay here I highly recommend it.

Cons:

Very slow lift but at least it had one. The bathroom was ok but didn’t reflect the old world charm of the room. The shower was roomy but the hot water was inconsistent. It had a safe in the bedroom cupboard but wasn’t bolted to it so it seemed like a waste of time using it. The windows were a little dirty which spoilt the view to the south but the view towards the harbour was lovely , the room, however, was beautiful and very clean. The breakfast room is in the basement in the old bank vault which was novel but the room was a little small. Also no bar or area to sit and chill. They have taken over and renovated next door so it would be good to see when buildings are combined.

Оставим свой отзыв об отеле Ring Stone. Напишу о ньюансах, которые нам показались важными. Возможно, кому-то будет полез
Pros:

Оставим свой отзыв об отеле Ring Stone. Напишу о ньюансах, которые нам показались важными. Возможно, кому-то будет полезна эта информация. Первое, очень приятна была забота о заказе трансфера отелем! Было удобно, что не надо было заботиться об этом заранее. Цена вполне адекватная: минивэн их Аэропорта Istanbul до отеля и от отеля до аэропорта Sabiha Gökçen - обошелся в 95 евро (оплатили по прибытие на ресепшн).
Очень вежливо и доброжелательно встретили на стойке ресепшен, поделились полезной информацией и комплементарно предоставили номер с видом на Босфор!!!! Номер очень чистый, белье чистое, новое! не было тапочек и зубных наборов. Но тапочки предоставили по запросу, зубные наборы не просили - были свои, возможно, тоже бы предоставили. Вода в номерах была, пополнялась ежедневно. Бокалов для вина в номере не было, принесли по запросу. Завтраки изначально при бронировании не оплачивали, так как во втрой день пребывания планировался ранний выезд в аэропорт. Поэтому приобрели на месте завтрак в первые сутки. Завтраки хорошие, яйца в разных вариантах, очень вкусные мезе, выпечка, кофе - фильтр-кофе. Единственное, как и читали в отзывах, прийти лучше пораньше, чтобы был удобный столик, как-то некоторые расположены на проходе… В целом отель оставил очень приятное впечатление: чисто, интерьер (бывшее здание банка, высокие потолки, двери, паркет в номере…!). А, да, и расположение нам очень понравилось! Вроде и прям в историческом центре, а улочка не такая шумная и грязная, как большинство. Рядом есть супермаркет. Если будем в Стамбуле снова - с удовольствием остановимся в этом отеле!

Stylish hotel, great location, very helpful staff!
Pros:

First of all, the personnel was really nice and very helpful!
The room was very stylish and clean, with a very comfortable bed. Nice breakfast with a sufficient number of options for everyone to choose what they like.
And lastly, the location is great, walking distance to Hagia Sophia, the cistern, Grand Bazaar, metro station to the Aquarium or the marina to go on a boat trip. Several good restaurants and cafes or shops right outside the building.

Cons:

I wish we stayed longer :(
