Pros:

Hotel centralissimo e vicino a tanti mezzi e molte attrazioni della città vecchia. Molto comodo x riposare a metà giornata e ripartire x altre escursioni della città. Molto vicino a monumenti e punti di ritrovo x diversi tour. Personale cortese e camera sempre molto pulita. Ottima insonorizzazione. Tanti rumori in una capitale, ma con le finestre chiuse, abbiamo dormito molto bene. Colazione fornita di tutto. Piatti sempre pieni e rifornito. Anche x il dolce avevamo una buona scelta. Apprezzato anche il deposito bagaglio gratuito l'ultimo giorno. Non abbiamo usufruito di sauna e piscina, comunque a pagamento, perché troppo presi dalla visita della città.

Cons:

Le camere sono un po piccole. Il bagno è comunque spazioso e dotato di tutto, tranne il bidè ovviamente, come nel resto del mondo fuori dell'Italia. Comunque dovendo solo dormire, meglio piccole, pulite e insonorizzate, che grandi e disturbate. Ci siamo un po arrangiati con le valigie e abbiamo trascorso 6 piacevoli notti.

Soggiorno discreto
Pros:

La disponibilità dello staff alla reception nel risolvere alcuni inconvenienti dovuti alla carenza del personale delle pulizie, un giorno non avevano messo gli asciugamani e un'altro giorno la carta igienica. Ottima la posizione a 100 mt dalla linea del tram T2 e vicino a tantissimi locali oltre che alle principali attrazioni di Sultanhamet.
Buona insonorizzazione tra le camere.

Cons:

La pulizia non è stata delle migliori, inoltre un giorno si erano dimenticati di mettere gli asciugamani e la carta igienica, risolto subito chiamando la reception, inoltre un paio di notti si è sentito un gran puzzo di fumo di sigaretta, probabile si diffondesse da altre camere dall'impianto di aereazione.

Perfecto
Pros:

La ubicación era inmejorable, a unos cuantos minutos andando de Santa Sofia y el Palacio Topkapi. Tambien, queriamos destacar la perfecta atencion del personal desde que entras al hotel. Sobre todo, el desayuno. Especial mención a Vural, que nos atendió todos los dias en el desayuno excelentemente, así como el resto de sus compañeros.
