Pros:

Расположение отеля шикарное - в самом центре "старого города". Все основные достопримечательности в шаговой доступности. Остановка трамвая также рядом.
Завтраки хорошие. Номера чистые, персонал профессиональный.
На мой взгляд - один из лучших вариантов размещения в Стамбуле по соотношению цена/качество.
Обязательно вернемся в этот отель в будущие поездки.

Cons:

Во всех отелях, в которых приходилось ранее бывать в номере обязательно присутствует бесплатная питьевая вода в бутылках 0,5л. Рекомендую администрации исправить этот небольшой и единственный недостаток.

Would definitely stay here again, if we visit Istanbul again.
Pros:

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location was perfect! Close to everything, including restaurants, shops, the main streets, tram stations, and the bazaars. It made exploring the area very easy.

The staff were excellent and incredibly helpful. They gave us great recommendations for things to do and even helped us make reservations at restaurants, which we really appreciated.

Despite being so close to everything, the area around the hotel was surprisingly quiet. We always felt safe and well taken care of during our stay. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others.

Cons:

The beds were separated in the middle, so it was a little bit uncomfortable for a couple.

Buen hotel relación calidad precio
Pros:

La atención del personal es excelente. Habitación grande con ventanas a dos calles con algún tránsito de vehículos y descargas a primera hora de la mañana pero algo normal en una ciudad como Estambul. En líneas generales un buen hotel calidad precio y destacar la atención del personal. Hicimos el transfer del aeropuerto con ellos sin problema.

Cons:

Por decir algo el café

Pros:

Soliden hotel na odlični lokacijji. Upoštevali so prošnjo po višjem nadstropju.

Cons:

Več zadev bi se dalo bolje. Enolični zajtrki, skromen izbor sadja pri zajtrku, ki ni bilo sevirano postrežno, rogljički in pecivo pogsto žažgano. Drugače pa večina ok. Glasna ventilacija v sobi

Pros:

Staff was excellent. Breakfast was fantastic - and lot of healthy options and a wide variety of food. I loved my room. I could open the windows for fresh air and see the street activity below. Its a great location also., I would rate this hotel as excellent.

Cons:

The beds were a little stiff, but I slept fine on them. It would help if you couldn't feel the wooden rims around each individual twin bed when they are out together to form a double bed.
