Pros:

Здравствуйте!
Для отдыха с семьей. для проживания в командировке отличное место. Вид из окна поражает, слева пролив, с лева старый город и мечеть Султан Ахмет. Старые улочки полно народа и те кто зазывают в кафе и рестораны. Завтрак сразу на крыше здания с очень общительным персоналом и вкусной едой

Varma valinta
Pros:

Hotellin sijainti oli hyvin keskeinen ja siitä oli helpot kulkuyhteydet lähes minne vaan. Päänähtävyydet lyhyen kävelymatkan päässä. Aamiainen upealla näkymällä. Ruokana turkkilaisia makuja ja hyvä määrä eri vaihtoehtoja. Hotellin henkilökunta oli ystävällistä ja avuliaita. He antoivat neuvoja kaupungilla kulkuun jo ennen kuin ehdimme kysyä. Saimme lisäksi heidän kauttaan kuljetuksen takaisin lentokentälle hyvään hintaan.

Cons:

Huoneet olivat yleisesti siistejä, mutta esim. huoneiden nurkat olla hieman pölyisiä. Siivousta voisi siis hieman tehostaa ajoittain. Huoneen ilmastoinnin kanssa oli hieman haasteita. Huoneessa oli melko lämmin, vaikka lämpötila ei ulkona ollut vielä kovin kuuma.

Pros:

Location is very handy to all the main attractions. Beautiful view from the rooftop restaurant to the harbour & Hagia Sophia. Excellent variety of food with local specialities. The suite was very comfortable with 2 rooms (+sofa & tea station)

Cons:

It was a bit confusing as there is a hipodrome hostel as well as apartment suites & it wasn't well explained on the booking.

Stepover Istanbul
Pros:

I enjoyed the coffee, tea and kindness of the employee when I greeted us. The location is also very good and the breakfast corresponds to that described in the reservation.

Cons:

Nothing negative, It was cold on the day of the lodging, but the blankets are very thick and cushions cozy. Not bad about this hosting.
