Pros:

I had a lovely stay at Hotel Turkey during my work visit to Kadir Has University. The staff, especially the women at the front desk, were very kind and helpful, even assisting me with arranging a taxi to the airport. Dinner was amazing, and the breakfast was light, fresh, and well prepared. The hotel has a charming old-style aesthetic that I really enjoyed. I would definitely stay here again.

Just as the advertisement in Booking.
Pros:

Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good restaurant. Good breakfast. Right near the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate. It is not a luxury hotel but very pleasant and adequate.

Със сигурност няма да повторим престоя си там.
Pros:

Разположението.

Cons:

На първо място стаята, която беше дадена, уж за удобство на родителите ми, която се оказа над ресторанта и кухнята. Изключително шумна, с никаква възможност да спиш. При направено оплакване на сутринта беше сменена, като се опитаха да ме убедят, че едва ли не никой, никога не се е оплакал от шум, а през нощта е било кошмар за нощуващите там.
Персонала в ресторанта, изключително неприветливи и груби, особено младото, високо момче.

Pros:

Spotlessly clean and distinctive rather than a standard hotel, with a 1930s vibe. Conveniently close to the T5 tram station. The bed was comfortable and the on-site restaurant is very good. Fener and Balat cafés and restaurants are within a five-minute walk.

Cons:

We didn’t mind that the hotel does not have an elevator, although some guests might find it inconvenient.
