Hyvä hotelli erinomaisella sijainnilla.
Pros:

Sijainti oli erinomainen. Havaist-bussi lentokentältä tuli noin 300 metrin päähän hotellista. Istanbuliin ensi kertaa tulevalle tärkeät nähtävyydet olivat lähellä. Vastaanottava isäntä oli erittäin avulias: antoi Istanbulin kartan ja kertoi nähtävyyksistä. Huone oli mukavan kokoinen ja hiljainen. Aamiainen oli niukahko, mutta riittävä. Jos tulisin Istanbuliin uudestaan, varaisin varmaankin huoneen tästä hotellista.

Very comfortable and very nice staff. Great location as well right next to the Blue Mosque.

Cons:

I think maybe the bed sheets could have been cleaner. Saw a spot or two but nothing major.

Pros:

Wir waren zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt. Das Hotel ist perfekt für einen kurzen Trip und hat eine gute Lage. Das Zimmer hatte alles, was man braucht, und wir haben sogar ein Upgrade auf eine höhere Zimmerkategorie bekommen. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat uns gute Restauranttipps gegeben.

Pros:

Прекрасный отель, очень удобно расположенный, в двух шагах от Голубой мечети, но чуть в стороне от туристических толп. Очень внимательный персонал. Просторная и уютная комната. Завтраки на террасе на крыше с видом на Босфор - особое удовольствие. Буду рада остановиться здесь снова. Спасибо.

Pros:

Прекрасное расположение отеля,до главных достопримечательностей 10 минут. Большой плюс то,что остановка автобуса Havaist до аэропорта, также в 10 минутах ходьбы от отеля. Огромное спасибо сотруднику отеля Беге,за его отзывчивость и отличное знание русского языка) В отеле красивая,застекленная терасса с видом на Босфор и стену древнего ипподрома. Тактичные чайки прилогаются к завтраку)) Уборка и замена полотенец каждый день.

Cons:

Немного уставшие номера. В ванной нет мельницы и стаканчика для зубных щёток. Хотелось бы более разнообразный завтрак.

Pros:

The location was good, close to major touristic objectives, though if you’d want to stay more than 2 days, you don’t have what to do in that area.

Cons:

The breakfast was not so varied.
Request a room which does not have windows next to the road. That road is highly used so in the room will be very noisy. Noise caused by cars and people talking next to the Hotel.
