Hotel super consigliato per rapporto qualità prezzo
Pros:

La posizione: vicino alla metro, a pochi passi dalla Moschea Blu e a tante attrazioni principali.
Con una passeggiata di 2 km e mezzo raggiungi anche il ponte di Galata.

Cons:

Le stanze al seminterrato: troppo buie e piccole

Rapporto qualità prezzo super
Pros:

La posizione strategica.
A pochi km dalle attrazioni turistiche più gettonate.
Con una camminata di 2km e mezzo si raggiunge il Galata Bridge e la zona stupenda di Eminonu.
Lo staff dell hotel davvero disponibile per qualsiasi cosa.
Raccomando il transfer aeroporto hotel con loro. Sono super puntuali !

Cons:

Abbiamo soggiornato le prime 3 notti nella stanza economy situata nella lobby: spazi troppo stretti e poca illuminazione.
Raccomando almeno una Standard

Perfekte Lage!
Pros:

Die äußerst zentrale Lage nahe der blauen Moschee und Haggia Sophia war großartig. In der Umgebung befinden sich viele Restaurants und kleine Geschäfte zum Einkaufen. Das Personal war ausgesprochen nett und zuvorkommend.

Cons:

Das Frühstück war sehr russisch geprägt aufgrund der vielen russischen Touristen aber für eine kleine Stärkung am Morgen dennoch völlig ausreichend.

Обязательно вернемся еще
Pros:

У отеля просто сказочное расположение! До основных достопримечательностей менее 10 минут ходьбы. Управляющий отеля дал очень ценные советы по экскурсиям и ресторанам, а также поселил в очень хороший, просторный номер с атмосферой восточной сказки!
Завтраки на террасе были очень разнообразными, мы чувствовали себя очень комфортно

Pros:

Per la verità dovrei dividere in giudizio in due parti. Eravamo in 4, due coppie ai nostri amici e’ stato fatto un up grade al momento del check in e sono rimasti molto soddisfatti. Camera grande e spaziosa, servizi ok. Noi invece che abbiamo soggiornato nella standard siamo rimasti delusi, camera molto piccola non avevamo lo spazio per sistemare ed aprire le valige che abbiamo tenuto chiuse per i tre giorni, tirando fuori il necessario, il bagno molto piccolo, vecchio e la doccia perdeva. Per cui suggerisco di non prenotare la standard se si vuole maggior comfort. Note positive ce ne sono tante, primo la posizione, centralissima abbiamo girato giorno e notte senza mai prendere un mezzo pubblico o taxi se non per gli spostamenti in aeroporto. Ottima reception tutti giovani e molto disponibili, colazione abbondante cucinata davanti a noi, prevalenza piatti locali ma anche dolci più comuni.

Cons:

La stanza standard, piccola, bagno piccolo. Soggiornerei nello stesso hotel ma scegliendo una stanza migliore.

Прекрасный отель за свои деньги с потрясающим расположением и чудесным персоналом
Pros:

Этот небольшой отель находится в самом сердце Стамбула — около Айя Софии, расположение безупречное. Считаю оправданным соотношение цена-качество, хорошие завтраки, есть все что нужно, я была довольна. Персонал очень отзывчивый и ответственный, я была приятно удивлена душевностью и профессионализмом.

Cons:

Думаю, это скорее не минус объекта, а просто обстоятельство, которое невозможно изменить: из-за того, что здание историческое там нет центрального отопления, да, конечно кондиционер справляется, но приходя в номер было немного зябко. Плюс, отель нуждается в ренновации и из-за того, что здание деревянное — слышимость очень хорошая, но я спала без задних ног 😁

Bon séjour mais notre chambre n’était pas optimale
Pros:

La localisation était exceptionnelle, en plein cœur de Sultanhamet et à 2 pas du Bosphore. Le petit déjeuner était copieux et varié tous les jours, avec une vue exceptionnelle sur les toits d’Istanbul et le Bosphore.

Cons:

La propreté dans notre chambre était passable. Par contre, notre chambre donnait directement sur la réception au rez-de-chaussée et n’était pas du tout insonorisée : résultat, même en pleine nuit on entend tout ce qu’il se passe (et ce, malgré des boules quies 🥲).

Wonderful place to stay
Pros:

Speaking about my stay at the hotel I would use words exceptional and perfect. Being in the down town, very close to Hagia Sophia and Topkapi palace, the hotel is located in a very quiet place. The personnel is really nice and supportive, the room is cozy. It is a perfect hotel for visitors who like to stay in places with local features enjoying modern comfort.

Cons:

I have some food limitations, the breakfast was not ideal

Pros:

Super emplacement pour visiter le côté européen d'Istanbul. Le personnel est extrêmement chaleureux. Le buffet du petit déjeuner se fait sur le toit terrasse, la vue sur le Bosphore est magnifique. Une partie couverte, l'autre en plein air, avec des petites tables recouvertes de nappes rouges à carreaux...on se croirait à la maison. Le buffet est copieux et varié, les gâteaux sont super bons !
Nous étions dans la chambre famille, grande chambre agréable, rien à dire sur la literie qui était parfaite.
L'hôtel est calme.. station de tram à côté ! Je recommande !

Muy recomendado
Pros:

Cómodo, limpio, lindo, bien ubicado, buena atención

Cons:

No tiene ascensor aunque no me molesta son solo tres pisos y ayudan a subir la maleta, la cocina del desayuno es en el mismo sitio donde se come y se queda impregnado el olor de la fritura, pero en general todo bien

Pros:

Ein kleines Hotel mit Charakter in absoluter Top-Lage – sehr zentral, aber dennoch ruhig gelegen. Zu Fuß sind es gerade mal 5 Minuten bis zur Blauen Moschee oder Hagia Sophia. Dort fährt auch die Straßenbahn quer durch Istanbul. Eine Bahnstation ist 5 Minuten entfernt.
Das Familienzimmer ist traditionell eingerichtet und mit einer Kaffeeecke ausgestattet.
Das Frühstück ist sehr vielfältig und das gesamte Personal ist sehr zuvorkommend, freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Insgesamt ein tolles Hotel mit einem sehr guten Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
