Pros:

Am revenit la acest hotel pentru a doua oară, dar de data aceasta si cu copiii.
Ne-a plăcut că este foarte aproape de stația de tramvai dar si de magazine, restaurante.
Camera a fost foarte curată, prosoapele schimbate zilnic.
Personalul hotelului este prietenos si amabil.
Micul dejun diversificat si proaspăt. Doamna din restaurant a fost foarte amabila cu noi, ne-a incalzit laptele copiilor ori de cate ori am avut nevoie Ii mulțumim frumos! 🙏

Cons:

Nu au fost aspecte care sa nu ne placă. Vom mai reveni cu drag!

Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The location was excellent, the rooms were clean, and the staff was always friendly and professional.

What impressed us the most was the exceptional kindness and support we received after our departure. We accidentally left our passports at the hotel, and the staff immediately contacted us, kept the documents safe, sent us photos for confirmation, and helped us find a solution to get them back.

A special thank you to the manager Gulay and the team for their patience, professionalism, and genuine willingness to help. Their assistance went far beyond what we expected and gave us great peace of mind during a stressful situation.

We highly recommend this hotel and would gladly stay here again when visiting Istanbul.

Thank you for everything!

Pros:

Das Hotel war ruhig,die Betten bequem und die Lage super zentral zu vielen Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Cons:

Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Balcon gebucht,bekamen aber eins mit Blick auf eine Wand vor dem Fenster.Als wir uns beschwert haben,bekamen wir dann ein anderes Zimmer mit Blick zur Strasse.Das Hotelpersonal war sehr reserviert und nicht gerade freundlich.Das Frühstücksbuffet war nicht berauschend.
