Micul dejun putea fi mai diversificat. Aparatul de aer conditionat zgomotos. Ferestre ce nu se inchideau.

Petite séjour
Pros:

Hotel propre, la chambre qu'on a eu était très agréable pour une famille 2ch séparée.

Cons:

Petit déjeuner très peu de choix après 2 jours on s'ennuie. Pisicne trop petite et tres froide . Mes filles n'ont pas pu en profiter malheureusement. Sdb assez vétuste, pas assez de lumière dans la chambre.

Clean, friendly, perfect location,
Pros:

The location was perfect walking distance to everything we barely used the tram. The rooms were cleaned every day and the staff were very friendly.

Cons:

The breakfast was the same everyday, not a lot of variety they didn’t have grill to heat bread. Would stay there but without breakfast.

3 Sterne und keine 4
Pros:

Schöne Aussicht aus dem Zimmer mit Meerblick

Cons:

3 Sterne Hotel und definitiv keine 4.

Gute Auswahl beim Frühstück, ABER an zwei Tagen war Obstsalat aus Orangen verdorben. Besonders enttäuschend war, dass die Servicekraft dies nicht anerkennen wollte.

Der Kaffee war praktisch ungenießbar und erinnerte eher an dünnes schwarzes Wasser als an Kaffee. Insgesamt enttäuschend und keineswegs auf 4-Sterne-Niveau.

Pros:

Cleaned every day, beds comfortable, good localisation.

Cons:

Family room - the view on the internal “patio” 2x2 m, no fresh air, no natural light, means no any view.
AC couldn’t set any other temp than 28 C.
During the rain the reception staff offered umbrellas. When I was interested, they asked 5 EUR for each…
Coffee during breakfast: a bit ugly

Overall it was good, apart from the noise that messed up the whole experience.
Pros:

Pleasant staff, good location, 3 stations away from Sultanahmet. It was clean. Breakfast was decent.

Cons:

We had a room next to the street and it was extremely loud, no soundproofing and there was cold air coming from balcony door. Also, when the heating is on, the noise of the AC was really high, so if you want to leave the heating and go to sleep- mission impossible.

Helt greit hotell med god beliggenhet
Pros:

Helt greit hotell. God beliggenhet. Bra med takterrasse. Store gode rom.

Cons:

Pusset opp på overflaten, men bar preg av slitasje og dårlig vedlikehold (håndtak vindu, dusj, spa-avdeling ventilasjonsrister etc).

Ikke veldig hyggelige, blide eller imøtekommende ansatte.

Kjedelig frokost.
