Хороший отель
Pros:

Номер был очень маленький, но это не испортило впечатление, так как приходили туда только поспать и в душ. Хороший завтрак. В целом понравилось.

Pros:

Small room but well equipped with everything needed.

Excellent buffet breakfast is taken at a different hotel next door but one. This breakfast room is on the 6th floor with a good view of the sea. However there is no lift and access is via a spiral staircase which could be a problem for some.

Неоправданные отзывы
Pros:

В отеле, очень маленькие номера, в душе грибок. За окнами проходит Ж/Д ветка, но поезда ходят не часто. Начиная с 3-го этажа открывается вид на Босфор. Расположение отеля отличное, до Голубой мечети 5 мин пешком.

Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels ist super. Viele Sehenswürdigkeiten können zu Fuss erreicht werden. Der Frühstücksraum mit Blick aufs Meer ist ebensfalls sehr schön.
Die Zimmer sind sehr klein aber sauber. Das Personal war stehts sehr freundlich.

Pros:

Die lage des Hostels war optimal, innerhalb von 5-10 Minuten war man direkt bei der blauen Moschee und bei der Haltestelle. Das Personal war siper freundlich und sehr hilfsbereit. Die Zimmer waren auch sehr sauber und wurden auch regelmäßig geputzt

Pros:

Aan de buitenkant is het niet te zien dat het een hotel is, we hadden schimmel in onze kamer, dus elke keer als we de kamer in kwamen stonk het. Ik zou hier niet langer dan 2 dagen verblijf aanraden. De kamer die we hadden gekregen was heel klein nauwelijks beweegruimte. Over het personeels is er vrij weinig te zeggen wordt geen Engels gesproken na de manager na verder best vriendelijk.

Pros:

I spent my short holidays in this hotel. The service desk personnel was helpfull, caring and very Professional. The multiple pick-up and drop-off to the Atatürk airport was always on time. The breakfast was great, quiet at night and central for all the important places to visit. Thank you for your kindness, my daughter and I will remember you!

Good and recommended to stay.
Pros:

The room is very small and the heater is not big enough to warm the room when the temperature outside is -1 to -6. But the reception staff is very helpful and kind. He gave us Metro card, USB, free airport suttle, and lent us his laptop when we needed. All other staff is also kind and helpful although there were some of our complains were not settled. Overall it was a happy experience staying and Ottoman. The hotel has best location to tourist attractions e.g. Blue Mosque, Hagua Sophia, and Topkapi Palace (walking distance). All in all we were satisfied and happy with what we got from the hotel (considering that we paid reasonable rate too).

Nice little hotel.
Pros:

Nice small hotel. I stayed in room 302 with see view. Room is of adequate size, clean and well maintained. Breakfast is ok. But unfortunately starts a little bit late (0745 at the earliest).
As mentioned by other guests Hotel still has no sign and is difficult to locate. Shuttle to airport at 5 euros very convenient.
Hotel lacks some real hotel facilities like waiting area, restaurants...etc but there is a coffee shop next doors and many restaurants few blocks away.
