Saturs labāks par formu
Pros:

Atrašanās vieta ir izcila, blakus Gala tornim, bet tai pat laikā pilnīgā klusumā. Personāls ļoti jauks, izpalīdzīgs, pretimnākošs. Brokastis jumta terasē, vai saulriets tajā ir brīnišķīga pievienotā vertība

Cons:

Prasītos pēc kosmētiskā remonta

Pros:

Nejvíce se nám líbily snídaně na střeše - rozhodně nevynechejte.
Bylo skvělé, že se nám personál hotelu věnoval absolutně nadstandardně. Vysvětlili nám celé fungování města, důležité body, co nevynechat, doporučili restaurace.
Úžasná je také lokalita.
Jednoduše skvělé a doporučujeme.

Na pewno tam nie wrócimy
Pros:

Zdegustowany jakością do ceny.

Cons:

Pokoje lata świetności mają dawno za soba, pleśń W łazience , odpadająca farba ze ścian, byle jak ścielone łóżka. Śniadanie to jakaś pomyłka zimne parówki i zimne frytki chyba pieczone 3 dni wcześniej, Lokalizacja niby przy Galata Tower ale żeby dojść to przez slumsy. Obsługa wygląda jak by nie pracowała w hotelu tylko w warsztacie , wybór tego hotelu to była pomyłka zwłaszcza że za taką cenę!

Great staff, great location, perfect if you are low maintenance and price sensitive.
Pros:

Great, central location, many restaurants and cafes close by and few minutes walk from public transportation. The rooftop breakfast is fantastic, and the staff are supernice.

Cons:

Thin walls, very noisy next rooms, the water was leaking in the bathroom, sometimes the toilet wouldn’t stop flushing. There’s mold in the bathroom and the room is very humid.
