Отлель для атмосферы))
Pros:

Хороший вариант для знакомства со старым городом и районом Фатих. Решили в этот раз добавить немного аутентичности в место проживания))) Расположение идеальное - рядом все возможные транспортные локации (метро, трамвай), кафе/рестораны. Цены в данном районе немного выше, чем в Бейоглу и меньше европейской атмосферы, но, сервис везде на уровне. За свою цену отель хороший, персонал вежливый, чисто, уютно, завтрак приемлемый. Переночевать и позавтракать комфортно. Помощь персонала нам не требовалась, но, видели, как сотрудники помогали постояльцам вызвать такси, объясняли, как пройти и т.п.

Cons:

Номера маленькие, но, в старом городе все отельчики камерные. Единственное, если будете зимой и с массой верхней одежды + чемоданы, возможно, лучше посмотреть отели "через мост"))

Nur wegen perfekter Lage kann man in diesem Hotel ein paar Tage übernachten.
Pros:

Nur die Lage ist Perfekt.

Cons:

Das Hotel ist keine 5 Sterne Hotel. Die Fotos sind viel besser als alles wirklich aussieht. Enttäuscht. Das Frühstück ist sehr mangelhaft, schlechtes Kaffee, schlechtes Service, die Sauberkeit ist auch schlecht. Wenig Speisenauswahl. Auch enttäuscht. Schade.
