Pros:

La posizione e la colazione includeva salato e dolce

Cons:

La camera era un po’ sporca: molti capelli in bagno e in generale non era mantenuta bene. Inoltre per 5 giorni di soggiorno, il wi-fi dell’hotel non funzionava. Abbiamo dovuto chiedere noi la carta igienica perché la camera non è stata pulita tutti i giorni.

Personal amabil și receptiv, mic dejun bogat, curățenie și ca și locație, aproape de centrul istoric.

Pros:

Le personnel était super accueillant, très gentil et serviable. J’avais réservé une chambre pour 4 personnes et, au départ, il y avait un canapé et un lit double. J’ai donc contacté l’hôtel, qui a rapidement accepté de me changer de chambre pour une avec deux lits simples et un lit double.
La localisation est parfaite, à proximité d’Aya Sofya. Le petit-déjeuner est également de qualité, avec des produits frais. Je recommande !

Cons:

Tout est bien surtout rapport qualité prix

Preporuka!!
Pros:

Bili smo 9 dana u Istanbulu I srećni smo jer smo odabrali baš ovaj hotel. Objekat je čist i ima sve što je potrebno putnicima koji nisu preterano zahtevni. Opšti utisak je da smo za uloženi novac dobili više nego što smo očekivali. U hotelu rade izuzetno kvalitetni ljudi, koji su uvek nasmejani i spremni da izađu u susret za sve što im tražite i obezbede da osetite dobrodošlicu. Kad god bismo imali nedoumice vezane za obilaske grada, najbolje kupovine itd. dobijali bismo odlične i korisne savete od osoblja. Lokacija hotela je fenomenalna, ulica je mirna, a u samom srcu turističkih dešavanja. Za nas je bilo jako važno da imamo obezbeđen parking za auto. Vozilo nam je bilo na njihovom parkingu, koji osoblje hotela brižno i odgovorno nadzire. Hvala na ljubaznosti, toplom gostoprimstvu. Mi ćemo ponovo doći.
