Great hotel in Istanbul
Pros:

This is such a great hotel! There is a free parking if you come by car. The location is really close to the T1 tram station Cemberlitas, a few minutes to walk. Also really close to Sultanahmet. The guests are very kind, they helped us with anything (for example, we forgot a watch in the room and they came running with it, which we are really grateful for). The rooms are really clean and modern, the bathroom is also clean and big (they came everyday to clean the rooms). The breakfast is good, many choices for any taste-veggies, fruits, eggs, sweets, really good. A really good quality-price ratio, we will definitely be back here next time. We really enjoyed our stay here!

Cons:

Nothing to say here, we enjoyed everything!

Consigliato!
Pros:

Hotel in ottima posizione per visitare le principali attrazioni della città con prezzo davvero contenuto. Staff cordiale e disponibile in particolare il giovane receptionist, buona colazione prevalentemente continentale. Stanze piccole, ma confortevoli in particolare quelle nell’edificio principale. Lo consiglio a tutti.
