Soggiorno perfetto nel cuore di Istanbul
Pros:

La stanza era davvero bella, molto luminosa e soprattutto pulitissima. Ogni giorno venivano cambiati gli asciugamani e rifatto il letto, cosa che ho apprezzato molto.

La posizione è comodissima: a due passi da Sultanahmet e vicinissima alla fermata del tram, perfetta per raggiungere facilmente gli altri punti strategici della città.

La colazione era varia, sia dolce che salata, con buffet servito su una terrazza molto piacevole che offre anche una bellissima vista sul mare.

Comodissimo anche il servizio navetta per l’aeroporto, puntualissimo.

Lo staff è stato gentilissimo, disponibile e accogliente durante tutto il soggiorno. Un ringraziamento speciale al ragazzo presente durante le colazioni, di cui purtroppo non ricordo il nome, e a Burak alla reception per la loro gentilezza.

Rapporto qualità-prezzo davvero ottimo! Se dovessi tornare a Istanbul sceglierei senza dubbio di nuovo questa struttura.

Pros:

Lieliska atrašanās vieta. Galvenie apskates objekti sasniedzami ar kājām un netālu ir arī tramvajs. T1 Personāls ļoti atsaucīgs un izpalīdzīgs.

Cons:

Viesnīca noteikti neatbilst 4 zvaigznēm. SPA neizmantojām, bet šķiet, ka nav pieejams uz vietas viesnīcā. Brokastis var paēst, bet vienveidīgas. Skaņas izolācija varēja būt labāka.

Consigliato!!
Pros:

Staff cortese e struttura pulita. Ci è stato offerto anche il transfer da e per l'aeroporto.
Ottima posizione a due passi dalla Moschea Blu.

Cons:

La colazione non è il massimo, non si discosta molto da quelli che sono i gusti della Turchia.
