Posizione perfetta, zona tranquilla ma funzionale, adatta e comoda anche con un bimbo piccolo
Pros:

Posizione perfetta per raggiungere alcuni delle più importanti attrazioni della città. La stanza era molto pulita, asciugamani cambiati quotidianamente. Il personale è stato gentile e disponibile e c'erano molti ristoranti nella zona.

Cons:

Le camere un po' vecchie e non molto grandi. Inoltre non tutti amano la moquette!
Se il personale potesse fornire qualche indicazione in più su ristoranti o bar nei dintorni, sarebbe davvero utile in quanto ce ne sono davvero tantissimi, ma la maggior parte sono trappole per turisti.

worthy choice the combines proximity, aesthetic view, friendly staff. a very good value-for-money.
Pros:

spectacular location; close to most of places and public transport.
room had a balcony with a sea view; very soothing for those looking to have a calm morning sit.

Cons:

nothing in particular, the hotel met most of my needs and expectations for my travel; although rooms might be slightly smaller than usual, however, if you are planning to spend time touring and visiting, the room size is more than enough.

Pros:

Fantastic location in Sultanahmet, just steps away from the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The proximity to the Hop-on Hop-off bus stop is very convenient for sightseeing.
​While the rooms are compact, they are kept in pristine condition. Housekeeping was efficient and discreet; our room was always ready when we returned. The staff's hospitality and professionalism truly stand out—they are always willing to assist. A great choice for anyone visiting Istanbul!

Recomand!
Pros:

Amplasarea hotelului este una foarte buna, aproape de Bazarul Arasta, de Hagia Sophia, de Moscheea Albastra, de statia de autobuz Havaist pentru aeroport. Pe strada cu hotelul aveti si multe restaurante, terase, este o zona sigura. Personalul hotelului foarte amabil, micul dejun proaspat si bun. In fiecare zi se schimba lenjeria si prosoapele si se face curat.
