Generally it was pretty good, except the bad thigs I mentioned.
Pros:

Excellent location and very clean.

Cons:

My particular room was way smaller than I anticipated and the balcony was of no use at all, surrounded by walls, zero view.

Только цена оправдала пребывание в отеле

Pros:

Приятная гостиница, номера чистые, расположение хорошее.

Cons:

We were very pleased with our stay.
Pros:

The front desk staff was outstanding. They gave us directions to every place, identified how to use public transportation and provided route information and recommended restaurants. We have never received such wonderful advice. Although the room was compact, it was very clean.

Cons:

Nothing.

Cute boutique hotel in a very central location.
Pros:

The location was great! You’re a 10min walk from all the main sites and the area is full of really good restaurants. There is also a nice little bazaar nearby. The staff were really helpful throughout the stay.

Cons:

The room is very small and the walls (interior and exterior) are extremely thin you can hear everything that is happening outside on the street. Our room did not face a busy street so at night it was okay. The bed was not the most comfortable.

Sencillo pero bien
Pros:

La ubicación es espectacular, a 5 minutos del centro histórico. El lugar donde ofrecian el desayuno era 2 casas más allá, pero era espectacular, porque quedaba en la azotea y se veía el Bósboro (considerar que se debe subir escalera). Es desayuno era sencillo.

Cons:

La habitación era muy pequeña para dejar 2 maletas grandes. Hay que considerar que en invierno uno anda con más equipaje, por lo que se hace pequeño. Yo no puedo comer gluten, por lo que pedí pan especial, el problema es que no tenían donde tostarlo y esos panes hay que si o si tostarlos porque no son frescos.

Pros:

Персонал выше всех похвал, все рассказали, показали, выдали карту Стамбула, показали какой транспорт куда подходит. У них можно заказать часть экскурсий - не пользовалась. Завтраки на крыше с видом на Босфор, чисто, комфортно. Пару минут до Голубой Мечети и Айя-София
