Posizione fantastica e personale gentilissimo
Pros:

La struttura, anche se molto semplice (ma visto il prezzo, ci sta), è situata in una posizione fantastica ed il personale è di una gentilezza e disponibilità rara, loro hanno fatto la differenza.

Cons:

Purtroppo la colazione non era di mio gusto, avrei preferito più prodotti internazionali o dolci.

Pros:

숙소 위치가 아야소피아와 블루모스크에서 5분 거리에 있고 웬만한 구시가지 명소는 걸어 갈 수 있는 곳에 있어요.
룸도 깨끗해서 2일간 잘 지냈어요. 다음에도 이스탄불에 오면 묶고 싶네요.

Cons:

없음

Lo consiglio
Pros:

Abbiamo prenotato 5 camere in 12.Lo staff sempre sorridente e disponibile per qualsiasi richiesta e consigli,le camere alcune ristrutturate pulite con cambi giornalieri degli asciugamani e rifacimento della camera tutte le mattine.La colazione prevalentemente salata ma buona e lo staff della colazione molto gentile. L'hotel si trova a 100 metri dalle due Mosche e molto vicino al tram T1, praticamente nel cuore di Sultanahamet.

Cons:

Nulla, tutto bene

Great location and good value
Pros:

The staff was very helpful. They offered suggestions for where to eat (there were SO many choices within a 5 minute walk), directions, and best activities for our limited time. They even arranged transport to the airport. Couldn't ask for a better experience.

Cons:

We were in an older part of the hotel so our room had fewer outlets and lighting. But it was still workable.

Szuper helyen, nagyon segitükész személyzettel.
Pros:

A reggeli teljesen jó volt. Minden nap ugyanaz, de mi csak 3 éjszakát voltunk, ettünk mindent, ami boldogsághoz kellett.
Utolsó nap mivel korán mentünk ( fél 7-kor ) már nem volt lehetőség reggelizni, vannak szállodák, ahol ilyenkor készülnek, kis csomaggal, itt nem így volt, de emiatt nem szegtök kedvünk.

Cons:

Nem tudok olyat mondani, végetlenül kedves és segítőkész személyzet. Az elhelyezkedés ennél jobb nem is lehetne, Karnyújtásnyira a mecsetek, és a hatalmas tér, az utca csendes, forgalommente, a tető teraszról rálátni a kék mecsetre és a tengerre. Nagyon jól éreztünk magunkat. A víz, te, és kávé koráltan fogyasztása a szálló vendégeknek nagyon jó megoldás.
