Pros:

Staff e posizione

Cons:

A volte cattivo odore dal bagno per reflusso delle fogne (succede anche in grandi città)

A volte da fuori si sente il rumore dei locali che mettono musica alta fino a tarda notte fortuna le finestre riducono un po' il rumore

I recommend staying there
Pros:

The property is amazing, it is a family owned buisness, and I’m all for supporting family businesses.
The staff are the family members and they are amazing. They helped us in so many ways. The property is neat, well organized, and has everything you need.

Cons:

The only thing that i have comments on is the noise, if you take a room facing the streets, u will be hearing the noise, BUT they will tell you about this, however we decided to take the room with a view to the streets . They are completely honest.
They can improve of course, but to improve their services they need ur support.
Also they don’t provide shower gels and tooth brush so make sure u bring with you. They do provide soap and shampoos

Prima prijs-kwaliteits verhouding en gunstige ligging.
Pros:

Het hotel staat in een toeristische straat met vooral veel eetgelegenheden en ook winkeltjes waaronder die met drink- en etenswaar. Het ligt op loopafstand van de Hagia Sofia en ook de Bosporus is niet ver. Daar tussenin ligt een groot park waar je rust en schaduw kunt vinden, en een groot metrostation waarmee je ondermeer aan de Aziatische kant kunt komen. Ook een tram naar het centrum komt daar langs.
Op het ventilatiekanaal van de douche na zag alles er schoon uit. De wc heeft een kraantje dat vlak onder de bril uitkomt zodat je naast wc papier ook water voor het afvegen kunt gebruiken.

Cons:

De beschrijving op de site van het hotel klopt niet. Ontbijt is niet inbegrepen en ook niet te krijgen, de minibar is leeg en losgekoppeld, en een laptopsafe is er niet. Er is ook geen lift. Omstreeks 05:30 uur wordt Allah bezongen vanuit luidsprekers op de moskee en opnieuw 's avonds.
Regelmatig rijden touringcars of busjes vlak onder het raam door dat je beter gesloten kan houden als je rust zoekt. De ventilatie is passief maar toereikend.

Céntrico para visitar la zona de Sultanhamed
Pros:

Alojamiento super centrico a escasos 5min del palacio y de la Santa Sofia.
Esta ubicado en una calle de muchos restaurantes pero a las 23h ya esta todo tranquilo.
Habitacion grande con lo necessario para passar 3-4 noches.
Te cambian las toallas cada 2 días sin que lo pidas.

Cons:

Si te toca el 3r piso (sin asensor) se escucha el ruido molesto de alguna maquina instalada en la terraza del hotel. Si llueves se escucha como si tuvieras encima una cañeria de agua y si hace viento se mueven los muebles de la terraza y es bastante molesto por la noche.
Aconsejo pedir segundo piso.

Kellemes volt, ar ertek alapjan ajanlom. Ha valaki fenszi erzesre vagyik, akkor viszont masik szallast nezzen.
Pros:

A frekventációja kiválló, kenyelmes agy, tiszta agynemu.

Cons:

A furdoszoba tisztasagan lenne mit csiszolni, mintha nem ismernek a vizkooldot :/
