Pros:

Tesisi sadece konum Olarak Güzel merkezde

Cons:

Tesisi hiç tavsiye etmem günlük evler gibi girip çıkan belli değil Kötü yanı o ki duvarlar okadar inceki karton gibi diger odada napıyorsa hepsi diger odada Aile için hiç önermem
Ne penceresi var ne havalandırması paranıza yazık

Overall, I had a great stay and would definitely recommend this property. If possible, I highly recommend choosing a roo
Pros:

The location is 10/10 if you enjoy nightlife, having drinks, dancing, and being close to the city’s energy. Istanbul is a fantastic place to go out for a beer late at night, and this property puts you right in the middle of it all. If you want to enjoy your stay even more, I highly recommend booking a room with a balcony if you’re lucky enough to find one. The beds were comfortable, and the room was clean. Despite reading some reviews about noise before booking, I slept very comfortably throughout my stay. The reception staff were amazing—very kind, welcoming, and always positive. They were incredibly helpful throughout my stay, especially when arranging a taxi to the airport and answering any questions I had. Their hospitality made the experience even better.

Cons:

The only downside is that the sound insulation between the rooms could be improved. Light sleepers might notice noise from neighboring rooms, although it wasn’t an issue for me as I’m a deep sleeper.

Ok but dirty and disappointing
Pros:

It was ok but dirty

Cons:

The room was pretty dirty, the towels were gray and some had hair attached to them, there were bed bugs. It was pretty loud in the hallways during the night - due to either staff of the hotel or other guests.

Pros:

Habitacion sin ventana pero con todas las comodidades, frigo, buena iluminación, agua, smart TV. El baño es grande y todo estaba limpio.

Cons:

El ruido. Las puertas de las otras habitaciones se escuchan por la noche muy fuerte. Pese a que reservamos la habitación sin ventana (justo bajo el hotel hay un bar que está abierto durante toda la noche), no parábamos de escuchar pasos en las escaleras, gente vomitando como si estuvieran en nuestro baño puesto que las paredes del edificio no están insonorizadas.

Pros:

Super localisation
Bar agréable au rez de chaussée
Personnel sympathique et disponible à toute heure

Cons:

L’état de l’établissement ne reflète pas celui des photos
Points d’attention sur la propreté (surtout le revêtement de sol qui ne donne pas envie d’y marcher à pieds nus) et l’isolation de la chambre (on entend tout et fort)

Convenient location, nice people, but please lord change the carpets. (or at least clean them!)
Pros:

Nice staff and very convenient location.

Cons:

Very gross old carpets that smell of dust and tobacco. Our sheets had cigarette burn holes in them and random hairs. (we got new sheets when we asked and the staff was nice)

Pros:

Her şeyi ile harika bir konaklama imkanı sundular. Çok ilgili, sıcak samimi bir ortam vardı ve çalışanlarda aynı şekilde ortam ile uyumluydu. Her şey için ne kadar teşekkür etsek az. Kesinlikle çok memnun kaldım

Barlar sokağına yakın bir yer istiyorsanız, iyi bir tercih
Pros:

Konum

Cons:

Otelin olduğu kata alt kattaki barın içinden geçerek çıkıyorsunuz. Oda çok dardı.
