Pros:

Los chicos de la recepcion son personas maravillosas, la señora que hace la limpieza es una mujer muy amable! Me senti super seguro en todo tiempo, la zona es ideal, es perfecta, a dos pasos del metro, a dos pasos de los ferrys, a literal dos pasos del tranvía que te lleva a la mezquita azul, al gran bazar, y para galata, el desayuno es una locura, a mi me vino incluido en el precio, y me salvo mucho, comía el desayuno, y luego no tenía hambre en todo el dia, estaba con mucha energía! La habitación super cómoda, la ducha genial, si vuelvo a estambul, vuelvo a ese hotel! Gracias chicos por la estadía buenísima que me hicieron pasar!

We enjoyed our stay in a very convenient location with helpful friendly staff.
Pros:

Very friendly helpful staff

Cons:

This is an entry level accommodation which the owners are trying to build up. It is clean and comfortable with friendly staff but has some limitations such as bathrooms still in renovation mode. Good value for low cost.
