Sejur placut, ne-am bucurat de oras si de mancare buna. Localnicii extrem de amabili.
Pros:

Proprietatea aproape de statia de tramvai, se face curatenie zilnic, camera dispune de fierbator si ti se ofera ceai, apa si cafea instant din partea casei. Personalul foarte amabil. Micul dejun bogat, diversificat si persoanele cu intolerante aveau la dispozitie preparate specifice.

Cons:

Totul a fost ok. Nimic de reprosat.

Pros:

Location is perfect. Fortunately, friendly stuff let us make a check in in the morning, so early. I appreciate it 🙏🏻 Breakfast was good. Furthermore our room had an entrance to the beautiful terrace ❤️

Cons:

Room was too small, a little bit larger would be perfect.

Ottima posizione per visitare la maggior parte di Istanbul
Pros:

Colazione ottima e soddisfacente

Cons:

Migliorerei il servizio dei ragazzi che sembravano svogliati. Un complimenti invece alla responsabile della reception e alla ragazza delle colazioni.

Good location. Friendly staff. Facilities could have been better.
Pros:

Perfect location for daily activities and outings. Staff were very nice and accommodating.

Cons:

The room had a distinct smell. The sink did not drain very well however, was manageable and didn’t report it to the staff. AC didn’t work.

Kellemes, szívesen ajánljuk.
Pros:

Kerekesszékkel is könnyen meg tudtuk közelíteni, közel van a villamosmegállóhoz, mégsem a főútra néz.

Cons:

Nem azokat a szobákat kaptuk, amiket kifizettünk. Második nap kaptunk új szobát, amit eredetileg foglaltunk, de az árkülönbözet attól még nem rendeződött.
