Vielen Dank! Es war sehr schön. Gerne wieder.
Pros:

Die Lage ist perfekt. Ruhig und ganz nahe zu den Sehenswürdigkeiten der Altstadt, wie Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palast und blaue Mosche. Das Frühstück hat gut gepasst. Der Kaffee war sehr gut. Das Persona war superhilfsbereit und sehr freundlich.

Cons:

Die Zimmer und die Betten war schon sauber, das Bett vor allem war ganz sauber. Aber auf den Kästen war Staub, das Badezimmer hat etwas nach Kanal gerochen.

Good value for money near old sites
Pros:

Good value for money. Near all the old sites (blue mosque/ haghia Sophia). Very pleasant and helpful staff. Manager Dalit helped us organise tours. Breakfast was good and very reasonable for the cost

Cons:

Train track behind hotel but noise can be reduced with ear plugs and overnight no trains. Other than that it’s a quiet location

Grazie per averci ospitati
Pros:

Tutti molto gentili e disponibili. Davvero consigliamo l’hotel. Posizione comodissima. Pulizia e attenzione al cliente.

Cons:

Mi è piaciuto tutto. Potrei solo consigliare di aggiungere della frutta fresca al buffet colazioni e magari qualche dolcetto turco 😉☺️

Отель достойный, по-моему мнению цена-качество соответствует. Номера хоть и не большие, но очень чисто! Полотенца меняли
Pros:

Отель находится рядом со всеми достопремичательностями. Отличный вид с балкона на Босфор

Cons:

Единственное, что рестораны рядом с высоким ценником. У воды дешевле. Но это не относится к минусу самого отеля.
