Hotel con ubicación espectacular y relación calidad precio muy buena.
Pros:

La ubicación es perfecta, al lado de la zona de Sultanahmet. Se puede ir andando a todas las zonas de interés del centro. Tiene el tranvía T1 al lado. Zona de restaurantes (algo turísiticos) pero te apañan en caso de necesidad. Zona segura y limpia. La habitación daba a una plazuela con mucha luz. El tamaño de la habitación era muy bueno. La cama cómoda. El aire acondicionado funcionaba pero no permitía subir frío de 22º eso sí. La terraza de desayuno con vistas espectaculares al Bósforo y mezquitas.
Conseguimos un precio estupendo que merece la pena.

Cons:

El lobby del hotel es pequeño, nada espectacular. No duermes en él, pero hay otras opciones que tienen mejores entradas. El desayuno es muy local, le falta algo más de variedad occidental. Apenas fruta y el zumo de naranja tiene coste de 3€ si lo quieres. Al estar en el meollo, el aviso al rezo de la noche (3 AM, sí así es) lo oyes con total nitidez, no hay otra (en este sentido no sé si un mejor acristalamiento sería útil, pero la llamada la hacen con megafonía y sospecho que tiene mal arreglo).

Great location, amazing breakfast, superb view from the rooftop at night! Loved it!
Pros:

The breakfast on the rooftop terrace was fantastic! Rooms were spacious and clean and the service from the staff was also very good. The location is also great, only a few minutes walk from most places you'd want to see in the area. I would definitely stay there again!

Cons:

Slight water damage in the bathroom because the shower wasn't well sloped. No big deal.

تجربة جميلة ✨
Pros:

الفندق جميل ومريح جدًا، اكثر ما يميزه قربه من ابرز المعالم التاريخية في منطقة الفاتح، كل المطاعم والمقاهي التي تقييمها عالي تقع بالجوار.

تعاون وبشاشة ورحابة صدر جميع العاملين في الفندق من الإستقبال حتى المطعم.

الافطار جيد والعاملة الموجودة متعاونة وقمة في الذوق.

Cons:

عدم وجود ممر خاص بالعربية عن الصعود والنزل للفندق.

Perfecte locatie voor een goede prijs!
Pros:

Locatie is perfect. Na 2 minuten stappen ben je bij Sultanahmet. Het personeel is supervriendelijk en behulpzaam. Niet enkel 1 of 2 personen, maar echt het volledige personeel is vriendelijk. Het ontbijt is goed. Er is voldoende variatie en dagelijks nieuwe soorten. De kamers zijn ruim en de bedden zijn comfortabel.

Cons:

Niks.
