Det var så mysigt att få bo på detta hotell, det var även extremt nära till alla sevärdheter
Pros:

Frukosten hade stor variation och fanns på mycket bra läge. Det var skönt att sitta i uteserveringen varje morgon.

Локація і привітний персонал-тішать. Сніданки повне розчарування
Pros:

Зручна локація в історичному центрі та привітний персонал, чисто

Cons:

Не сподобалось, що на booking.com при бронюванні писало що тут є безкоштовний трансфер з аеропорту а в готелі нам за це виставили рахунок на 110€. Дуже розчаровані. Сніданки дуже дуже бідні: варені яйця, огірки, помідори, кілька видів сирів і сухі сніданки-снеки. Все

Pros:

Blizina svih atrakcija. Do Sultanahmeta 15 minuta laganog hoda, do Kapali čaršije isto toliko. Osoblje vrlo ljubazno i susretljivo. Doručak obilan i raznolik. Sve u svemu, prezadovljni smo svime što nudi smeštaj.

Cons:

Sve je bilo fantastično

Best place to stay in Istanbul
Pros:

Hotell staff is very welcoming. Room was nice and clean. I loved that the hotell is located close to the touristi area, but at nighttime its really quiet. Makes it easy to get a good night's sleep. Breakfest was ok for me. Best addition to their services was that i could leave my luggage at the reception after checkout. Made it super comfortable to stroll around the city before my flight without having to drag my suitcase with me everywhere. 10/10

Cons:

Крайне не рекомендую этот отель. Наше пребывание оставило очень неприятное впечатление.

В номере были тараканы. Сиденье унитаза было грязным и покрыто непонятными пятнами. В душе из лейки вода текла очень слабо, поэтому нормально помыться было невозможно и приходилось мыться под краном.

Отдельно хочется отметить качество еды. Она была очень плохой. Мы с друзьями взяли свежие огурцы, но на вкус они были как будто покрыты плесенью.

Отель не соответствует ожиданиям и нормальным стандартам чистоты и комфорта. Больше сюда не вернёмся и другим туристам не рекомендуем.

Cons:

особых нареканий нет
