A szállás rendben volt összességében. Ár/érték arányban.
Pros:

A reggeli kicsit egyhangú volt, minden reggel ugyanaz. Jó lett volna egy kis változatosság.

Cons:

Nem működött a fűtés kapcsolója, így folyamatosan ment, nagyon meleg volt emiatt.

Pros:

Really very friendly and responsive stuff, one of the best. Sea view and individual entrance to the terrace. The Marmara sea promenade in 5 minutes walk. Good breakfast - every day the same, but containing lots of food products, bread, cheese, sausages, eggs, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, cheese sticks etc. Nice room on two floors. Fast wifi. Good restaurant. Price/quality ratio is perfect.

Cons:

Position is good to walk on foot, tram station is rather far away, about 10 minutes walk, subway in 15 minutes walk. Rather few electric sockets. Rooms on two floors are not really separated, if privacy is needed. Only instant coffee for breakfast.

Sanāca tikai iepirkšanās tūre,..... ekskursijas????, bet visu izbojāja lietus.....
Pros:

Atrašanās vieta ideāla. Ļoti plašas telpas. Mums piešķīra vēl labāku numuriņu kā bija prasīts. Ļoti ērtas gultas. Tīras istabiņas. Pie sienas ļoti liels televīzors. Vidējā atpūtas istabā liels galds un ērti krēsli.
Cenas un kvalitātes attiecība- brīnišķīga.
Labprāt šeit atgriezīšos.

Cons:

Mums četriem vīriešiem brokastis bija nepietiekamas. Un visas trīs dienas brokastu asortiments nemainījās. Gribējās kaut ko siltu, piemēram omleti, bet bija tikai sviestmaizes. Maz salātu un skopi ar gaļas ēdieniem.
Dušā bija problēma ar ūdens noteci.

Pros:

Чудове розташування в центрі близько до всіх цікавостей. Є сніданок, хоч і зовсім символічний.

Cons:

Шумно, музика від гулянок під вікнами до пізньої ночі. Меблі зовсім в поганому стані. Нам не повідомили заздалегідь, як і де припаркувати машину, тому ми вирішували це питання самостійно, адже під'їхати до готелю неможливо.

Встретились с сёстрами из разных стран. Стамбул был выбран не случайно-добираться прямыми рейсами было удобно всем. Спас
Pros:

Мы очень рады тому, как удачно был выбран отель! Центр, нет проезжей части, в 5 минутах бесконечная набережная, красота! Апартаменты с 2 спальнями и гостиной с кухней, причём по привлекательной цене. Постель белоснежная и хрустящая! Добродушная Карина, гостеприимный коллектив, одинаковые, но очень сытные завтраки, всё вкусно, (кроме сливочного масла, его мы покупали сами).

Cons:

Пыль на стенах была заметна, но впечатлений от проживания это не испортило!
