Perfeito para as tuas férias em Istambul
Pros:

A localização era excelente. Super perto do elétrico que te leva diretamente a Sultanahmet e a 5 minutos da Torre Galata. Os funcionários era muito prestáveis e o quarto tinha tudo incluindo chá, café e água.

Cons:

A sanita tinha uma fuga de água e deixava o chão da casa de banho molhado. O chuveiro também deitava água por todo o lado e molhava a casa de banho. De resto era excelente e voltaríamos.

It was fine for a short stay, but you get what you pay for.
Pros:

The room was clean and the beds were comfortable. The room was also a good size, and clean towels were supplied every day. The hotel is conveniently located to get to sites on the 'European side' of the city.

Cons:

The shower sprayed water all over the bathroom, and leaked water from the shower cubicle onto the floor beside the toilet. Also, with the sink tap hot water came out as a dribble, and there was no plug for the sink. On the last day of our stay there was no hot water for a shower.

Ottime camere a due passi dalla torre di Galata.
Pros:

Camere molto curate, la nostra family room aveva due camere separate e due bagni, wc separato dalla doccia. Letto comodo e tutto pulito. Due Smart Tv.
Lo staff estremamente gentile, ringraziamo ancora di averci accompagnato al nostro transfer per l’aeroporto sotto la pioggia e con le strade chiuse per i festeggiamenti del primo maggio.

Cons:

Nulla

Pros:

Kind and helpful staff, great location, quiet surroundings despite being in a crowded neighborhood, spacious room, comfortable beds, mini fridge, cups, coffee, tea, sugar, water kettle, and clean linens. Everything was excellent.

Cons:

One small thing to note is that the stairs leading to the rooms are very steep and narrow, so if you have large luggage or limited mobility, keep that in mind.

Pros:

Нам ОЧЕНЬ понравилось в отеле! Начнем с персонала, ведь он ЛИЦО отеля! Очень гостеприимные молодые люди. Встретили доброжелательно, бесплатно повысили категорию номера, хоть мы останавливались всего на 1 ночь , к нам отнеслись как к ВАЖНЫМ гостям и предоставили всё на высшем уровне! Сам отель радует чистотой, комфортом, колоритом, дизайном, удобством расположения - рядом остановка трамвая, целый квартал с вкусными кебабными, кондитерскими(, с демократичными ценами), банками( обмен валюты). Будем рекомендовать данный отель для остановки в Стамбуле всем хорошим людям.
