Pros:

Todo!! Excelente mi habitación tenía vistas a la mezquita azul y a Santa Sofía.... Si hay espacio en este hotel podéis elegirlo si o si.... Su ubicación, sus vistas, todo..... Por la tarde noche cuando se llega cansado subir a la ultima planta y tomarse algo que las vistas son impresionantes. Un 10, repetiría seguro.

Pros:

Közel volt a központhoz a kilátás fantasztikus volt. Minkét oldalt nevezeteségre volt a kilátásunk a teraszrol. Ágy kényelmes. Ami nem tetszett az a reggeli. Kevés volt a választék es minden nap ugyanaz. Árarányban elfogadható.

Pros:

variantele de la mic-dejun nu au fost foarte multe. aproape de centru/sultanahmed si de tramvaiul T1 care are legaturi bune pentru a putea vizita obiectivele mai indepartate.

Cons:

instalatiile sanitare deteriorate, la fel si podeaua. camera tripla in care am stat mica si fara spatii de depozitare. Nu este un hotel de 4*.

Pros:

the staff were very friendly and polite, even though they spoke little English. The location is amazing—right next to the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Seven Hills Restaurant. Definitely, I would recommend this hotel.

Cons:

The rooms are decent but need an upgrade, and the towels are old and have an unpleasant smell. There are coffee and tea makers, but no actual coffee or tea is provided I did asked once the house keeper give me some but they are not available all time they should put some when they clean the room

Vista Sultanhamet
Pros:

Posizione top, a due passi da Hagia Sofia e Moschea Blu. Vista spettacolare. Staff gentilissimo e alla reception molto disponibili. Camera carina e molto luminosa. Acqua sempre disponibile e servizio di riassetto quotidiano (non cambio asciugamani). Il balcone era ben organizzato. Letto e cuscini comodi. Accappatoi morbidi (ma le taglie molto mini). Colazione varia

Cons:

Sarebbe veramente perfetto se curassero la manutenzione delle camere e delle parti comuni invece tutto è molto trascurato (tappezzeria staccata e parti comuni poco curate). La colazione ,seppur varia tra dolce e salato e' un po' disorganizzata e non ricchissima ma se si considera il rapporto qualità prezzo e' allineata. Curando un po' meglio la struttura il mio voto sarebbe 9 abbondante

Great stay in Istanbul
Pros:

Great location, great staff

Cons:

Nothing really, just be aware that the area around the hotel is a bit more expensive. If you walk a bit further, food prices are more affordable.
