Buena relación precio-calidad, excelente ubicación
Pros:

El desayuno es básico, el café no es muy bueno y las opciones de comidas tampoco cubrieron mis expectatitivas. Lo bueno es que tiene una excelente vista a la Mezquita Azul y puedes llevarte alguna fruta para disfrutar en las excursiones.

Cons:

Estuve 4 noches, las 3 primeras en una habitación en el primer piso y la última noche en otra en el 5to piso. La vista por supuesto de la última habitación era excelente, mientras que la del 1er piso daba a un balcón enrejado y no podía ver nada.

We literally cannot IMAGINE a better room in all of Istanul, at any price!
Pros:

We booked the Pasha's/King's Suite, on the top floor, with a view of the Blue Mosque directly across the pedetrian-only Sultanahmet Square. The view included Hasia Sophia, obelisks in the square, and the Bosphorus. Stunning! Also nice and quiet, except during The Call To Prayer. You're going to hear that anywhere you stay, anyway. The sofa bed in the front room was more comfy than expected, too.
The breakfast buffet was delicious and varied, served on the top floor of the building just to the rear, also taking in the magnificent views. Staff were attentive without being cloying. The location can't be beat, not only for the view, but proximity to ALL of the biggest attractions and the tram, which is the best way to get into the area. The Sultanahmet Station is maybe 1/8 of a mile from the hotel. Walk diagonally through the park toward the Blue Mosque, past a couple of large museums, and you're there. The entrance to the hotel is at the rear of the street-side cafe/restaurant.

Bom hotel
Pros:

Bom hotel.
Especialmente bem localizado, na Praça do Hipódromo de Constantinopla, próximo a vários pontos turísticos obrigatórios na visita à cidade.
O quarto de casal em que ficamos era um pouco apertado, mas quem vai a Istambul só volta ao hotel para banhar-se e para dormir.
Espero que tenham a mesma sorte que tivemos: serem recepcionados pelo Enes no check-in do hotel.
Além de super-atencioso, demonstrou um conhecimento e atenção de um verdadeiro concierge, nos sugerindo os melhores passeios e tours, além de conseguir um guia poliglota que falava português, fundamental para o tour nas mesquitas e atrações próximas ao hipódromo.
O hotel tem um pequeno restaurante que fica ao nível da praça e que serve lanches e pratos simples, a melhor opção após um exaustivo dia de caminhadas e quando não está disposto a sair para jantar.

Prima Hotel, freundliches Personal, sauberes Zimmer.
Pros:

Tolle Lage direkt gegenüber der Blauen Moschee. Sehr freundlicher Service. Zimmer war top sauber, flauschige Handtücher, sogar Schlappen. Das WLAN hat gut funktioniert. Das Frühstück war ausgezeichnet, gute Auswahl, alles frisch, sehr zuvorkommender Service. Und die Aussicht vom Frühstücksraum war top. Einmal haben wir auch Mittag im Restaurant dort gegessen, das war auch sehr gut.

Cons:

Das Haus ist alt und daher hellhörig. Außerdem muss man bei der zentralen Lage natürlich damit leben, durch den Gebetsruf geweckt zu werden. Wirklich gestört hat mich nur, dass der Kühlschrank im Zimmer direkt neben dem Bett stand, eine Glastür hatte und permanent beleuchtet war, also auch das Zimmer erleuchtet hat. Ein Hotelmitarbeiter hat dann dankenswerterweise den Stecker für uns gezogen.

perfect
Pros:

The hotel is located on the Roman hippodrome, directly opposite the Blue Mosque, and you can see the sea from suite 60, which is a gem. Turkish hospitality is embodied by an original character: Mesut, an exceptional employee who takes your stay's quality very much to heart. For a long time, I actually thought the hotel belonged to him.

Cons:

cleaning not always at the top

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The bathroom had a musty smell. The main manager “superman” on reception seems to be the best employee at sorting out any issues we had. The other man didn’t seem too bothered.
