Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—within walking distance of many great restaurants and close to the main attractions, which made exploring the area very convenient. There’s also a metro line just around the corner, making it easy to get around the city.

The staff were always polite, friendly, and helpful, which really added to the overall positive experience.

The room itself was nice and comfortable, although the bathroom was quite small. The only downside was that our room, located on the first floor above the restaurant and facing the street, could be noisy. This may not be an issue for rooms on higher floors, but if you're a light sleeper, we’d recommend bringing earplugs.

Overall, it’s a great hotel offering very good value for money, and we would happily stay here again.

Tiszta, szép, tágas és jól felszerelt szoba, remek elhelyezkedés, kedves személyzet
Pros:

A szállás nagyon jó helyen volt, főleg gyalogosan könnyen megközelíthető, közelben két villamos is. A tulaj nagyon kedves, barátságos, mindig segítőkész és mosolygós volt. Imádtuk a hotelt!

Cons:

Első napokban a reggelit kicsit keveselltük 3 főre, de kérésünkre később erre jobban figyeltek. Azt mondták reggelihez csak tea jár, mert szerettünk volna kávézni is, amire van lehetőség, de felár ellenében. Egyébként minden nagyon finom volt, innen is köszönjük.

Struttura un po’ datata
Pros:

Ottima la posizione, staff molto gentile e disponibile, colazione semplice, tipica, non a buffet ma buona

Cons:

Struttura vecchia, deve essere ammodernata, gli arredi sono rovinati e il bagno molto piccolo, pulizia non eccellente. Per salire alle camere c’è una scala a chiocciola molto stretta e senza protezione

Recomendado
Pros:

Llegamos a las 2 am y el propietario nos estaba esperando muy amablemente. La habitación era muy amplía para tres personas, con cocineta y nevera pequeña, camas cómodas y limpias. El desayuno es muy completo. Está en un sector muy encantador, con varios restaurantes. Queda a 15 minutos caminando de los sitios turísticos.

Cons:

Todo estuvo bien.

Odradzam, koszmar!
Pros:

Lokalizacja

Cons:

To był najgorszy pokój, w którym byłem. Śmierdział papierosami! To oszklona weranda z roletami dzień-noc przez które wszystko widać, krzywymi meblami i zniszczoną armaturą. Spałem tylko jedną noc i zmieniłem hotel. Nigdy więcej! Odradzam zdecydowanie.

Za ty peníze pohodové ubytování.
Pros:

Klidná lokalita, kde nejezdí auta a nejsou slyšet tolik ani mešity. Malý pokoj se třemi postelemi, ale za účelem vyspání to stačí. Pokoj nám každý den uklidili.

Cons:

V koupelně není žádné aktivní odvětrávání, takže všechna vlhkost jde do pokoje. Zástěna sprchového koutu krátka, takže při sprchování namočíte celou koupelnu, ale to jsou vše detaily, které nejsou důležité. Snídaně strohá, každý den to samé, 3 vajíčka pro 3 lidi, chléb, sýr, olivy, čaj či kafe. Snídá se v malinkém prostoru. Jelikož byla zima, chtěli jsme si zavřít dveře, ale paní je pořád otvírala, takže celou snídani mrznete. Do centra musíte vždy ma kopec, k mostům přes kopec, příště bych volila ubytování spíše na druhé straně.

Hotel perfetto
Pros:

Posizione perfetta per girare i punti salienti di Istanbul anche a piedi. Il titolare è stato gentilissimo, ci ha chiamato lui stesso il taxi quando dovevamo tornare in aeroporto. La stanza dire che è bellissima è dire poco. Tutto meraviglioso

Cons:

Niente, tutto top

Fotoğraflarda ve açıklamada gösterilenlere göre süper
Pros:

Golden Arrow Hotel'deki deneyimimiz beklediğimiz gibiydi. Teraslı son odada kaldık, manzara oda kadar güzeldi, temizdi ve ihtiyacımız olan her şeye sahipti. Kahvaltı lezzetli ve boldu. Kendimizi rahat hissediyoruz. Sahibi her zaman çok sıcakkanlı ve misafirperverdi, çok mutlu ayrıldık. Teşekkür ederiz ve bir gün geri dönmeyi umuyoruz!

Cons:

Akciğerleriniz iyi değilse, son odayı önermiyoruz🤣
