Гостеприимно!
Pros:

Панорамный вид на крыше, где проходили отличные и сытные завтраки. Месторасположение, близко метро и пешком до главных достопримечательностей. Уютное и старинное здание. Встретили тепло и по домашнему :)

Charmantes einfaches Hotel
Pros:

Sehr freundliches Team, auch vorab hat alles mit dem schriftlichen Austausch geklappt. Sogar der Transfer wurde organisiert. Für diesen Preis einen Top Service.
Das kleine Hotel ist sehr liebevoll gestaltet. Wir haben sehr gut geschlafen.

Cons:

8-ung,Terrasse befindet sich auf dem Dach mit Aussicht, nicht im Zimmer. In den kühleren Monaten sehr windig. Allerdings hat es Heizer. Das Hotel ist ring hörig. Die Türen nicht dicht. Im Bad war es trotz Heizung kalt. Trotz allem haben wir uns sehr wohl gefühlt - wer keinen Luxus braucht, ist hier gut aufgehoben.

Cosy hotel with great view
Pros:

They have a water machine on the upstairs terrace you can get water when you like. The view from there is great! Breakfast is also a big plus. Besides that the hotel feels really cosy and the hosts are all incredibly friendly and welcoming.

Cons:

Maybe you can hear a bit of the other guests but it's not too bad.

Pros:

Perfect location, very close to Sultanahmet area and easy to walk everywhere. I stayed here for the last part of my Istanbul trip and it was a great decision.

The hotel is small but very charming, with a cozy and welcoming vibe. It really feels like a home rather than a hotel. The staff were extremely kind and attentive, always doing their best to help. I truly enjoyed my stay and would happily choose this place again.

La distribución del baño que está en la habitación es curiosa. Por poner algo, pero nos encantó 😊

Nem ajánlom , és nem foglalom újra
Pros:

Egyetlen előnye ,hogy közel volt minden látnivalóhoz. Egy fiatalember segítőkész volt.

Cons:

Hideg volt a szobában, egyik nap nem volt melegvíz. Az ablakok nem zárhatók rendesen , a falak és fürdőszoba több helyen penészes.
Nagyon kár , mert egy valóban régi , ottoman stílusú kis szálloda , de nem foglalkoznak vel , teljesen el lett hanyagolva.
