Pros:

Közel volt sok látnivaló.

Cons:

Sokkal zajosabb volt, mint amire számítottam. A szoba nagyon szűk volt még 1 főre is. Víz nem volt bekészítve a vízforralóhoz, pedig csapvizet nem lehet inni. A személyzet mintha nem is lett volna, sem egy mosoly, sem egy gesztus. A reggeli nagyon nagy választékú volt, de sok volt, ami nem volt friss.

Pros:

Even if my room could have been better (my window was overlooking a wall), I have only praise for the hotel staff who were very helpful, caring and most accommodating during my stay. This is what made my time in Istanbul very special. And I could not wish for a better location with access to the sea and sea cruising ships on the one side and Gulhane Park, Archaeology Museum and Topkapi/Haghia Sophia only 10 minutes walk away on the other side. You are right in the heart of thr historical city, and it was really easy to find my way around. And, btw, the rooms also have a small fridge. And the breakfast was also good.

Cons:

My room was really narrow, not allowing much space for the suitcase and my other things.

The location is absolutely excellent, but the other aspects are not up to that standard.
Pros:

Excellent location - just five minutes walking from Sikerci metro station and in the middle of thousands of restaurants and shops.

Cons:

The pictures look flashy but the quality of the actual facilities are kind-of subpart and cheap in some parts even - who would think that it is a good choice to use paper cups for tea and coffee instead of glass/ceramic ones, which can be reused and are thus not costlier than the latter. The rooms are not soundproof either - in the evening one can hear noise from all sides - outside of the door, upstair, downstair, from the street.

Pros:

I just wanna express my deep appreciation to this hotel for making my stay so warm and welcoming ❤️❤️❤️ Not only this hotel is located at my favorite district Sirkeci, it pleasantly surprised me with everything else. Also I wanna thank host Ali Hakverdi for always making sure I have everything I need and always asking if I was okay after I came back at night after my journeys. This place has this “luxury” vibe, yet it’s quite cozy and affordable at the same time. Also, HUGE THING for me is the fact that there was ABSOLUTELY NO MOLD, in shower or anywhere else. In humid places like Istanbul, hotels just let that slide and don’t do anything about that, so seeing such cleanliness was a very important factor for me. Towels were clean and super soft. Room was ready for living without any issues. I adored my stay as solo traveler. Looking forward to visit it next time 🔥🔥🔥

Pros:

Location was great!

Cons:

Ensure bedrooms & bathrooms are cleaned before next arrival.
Bedside draws had previously stayed guests belongings.
Bathroom sink had hairs from previously attended guests.
Apart from the one friendly young gentleman, that was night porter on the evening. FoH needs to step up their hospitality. Non existent. Meet and greet is important!
Breakfast. Ensure guests are aware that this is not international standards. Do some research on your clients.
