Pros:

Расположение отеля отличное! Все скромно, но с налетом восточного шика со времени, когда этот отель только начал работать. Нам не удалось отведать завтрак на великолепной крыше, мы много путешествовали по городу и возвращались поздно, чтобы отдохнуть и поспать в номере. Отдельная благодарность персоналу, очень отзывчивые и приветливый и просто было очень приятно пообщаться с ними.

Cons:

Заметочка управляющему/собственнику - пора делать ремонт. Пока с мужем отдыхали в номере, уже тысячу вариантов бюджетного ремонта нафантазировали )

الغرفة كانت في الاسفل قريبة من مدخل البناية فكان هناك القليل من الازعاج ربما لو كانت في الطابق الاخر كان الوضع مختلفا

Budget hotel in great location.
Pros:

Great location, minutes from Galata Tower, lively streets & cafes. Close to tram & subway. On a quiet street, so possible to windows open. Bed was comfortable.

Cons:

This isn’t a fancy place. Slight smell from the plumbing on one day and the bathroom fixtures were a bit dodgy.

Wir fanden unseren Aufenthalt sehr gut und liebten das lebendige Leben rund um das Hotel!
Pros:

Das Hotel liegt unmittelbar in der Nähe des Galataturms erhöht in der Stadt! Sehr freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal. Wir konnten das Zimmer tauschen, um einen wunderbaren Ausblick auf die Stadt und die vielen Moscheen zu haben! Diesen Ausblick genossen wir auch auf der Terrasse beim Frühstück und abends beim Sonnenuntergang.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist für ein 3- Sterne Hotel in Ordnung, könnte allerdings wieder einmal eine kleine Auffrischung erhalten. Uns hat dies nicht gestört, aber erwähnenswert ist es wohl auch.
