Pros:

La ubicación (cerca de la estación, buses y los sitios históricos) y las camas (muy grandes)

Cons:

La puerta no cerraba bien. La tarjetas para abrir no siempre funcionaban y cuando la conectabas dentro no funcionaban. Tenías que meter dos para que se conectará la electricidad y tener luz y pudiéramos cargar las baterias y la calefacción no la televisión no funcionaban

Pros:

İ had a short stay. The bed was comfortable. The room had a wonderful view to the Galata tower. The breakfast is at the hotel next door, but there is a cosy cafe on the ground floor. Thanks to İsmail bey for the attention.

Pros:

The location of the hotel is perfect, most of the sights are walking distance, and also the public transport is a few steps. The room is good value and comfortable. They have good turkish breakfast. Each member of the staff is very hospitable and helpful, special thanks to Yıldıray bey.

We walked everywhere and loved our adventures. Warning, you might come home with a rug or two.
Pros:

1 The breakfast was flavor less and plenty. No rush and attentive staff. A bonus to our time.
2) super LOCATION! We were able to walk everywhere. Close to the subway, mosques, next to the river, gardens, food, and shops. Super location.never needed a taxi.
We even could walk to Asia with ease. 3) staff- easy to work with, no rush out as we needed to stay later, they watched our stuff hours after check out so we could continue to explore Istanbul

Cons:

The room was small but did the job. Being in a giant and ancient city,, smack dab in the center of it all... it was expected. If we wanted to pay hundreds more & be Far from the hub, then we expect a bigger room. It worked for us and we would go again.

Pros:

Otel genel olarak iyiydi ve konaklamamızdan memnun kaldık. Özellikle personelin güler yüzlü ve yardımsever olması bizim için büyük bir artıydı; her konuda destek olmaya çalıştılar ve kendimizi çok rahat hissettik.

Cons:

odalar biraz eski kalmış diyebilirim.

Pros:

What I liked most about the hotel was its excellent location. It is close to the main tourist attractions and public transportation, which made getting around Istanbul very easy. The staff were friendly, and overall the stay was good for the price.

Cons:

The room we received was very small, and we had difficulty organizing our belongings and doing makeup comfortably. The bathroom door was noisy, and the balcony faced the metro station, so there was some noise. The cleaning service was not always complete, as most of the time they only changed the towels. I also noticed that some rooms seemed better than others, so I recommend checking the room type carefully before booking. I stayed in a room on the first floor.
