Pros:

シルケジ駅から近く、船着場にも歩いて行ける。空港行のバス乗り場も船着場にあるので便利。ブルーモスクなどの観光地も歩いて行けるし、トラムや地下鉄を使えば市内観光には不自由しない。
すぐ近くに飲食店街もある(但し、観光地価格)。
ホテル内は清潔でエレベーターもあるのでイスタンブール滞在にはオススメしたい。

Cons:

部屋はお世辞にも広くない。日本の狭めのビジネスホテルくらい。朝食のバリエーションは余りなく、毎日だと飽きる。部屋からの眺望は良くなかった。

Ni hladilnika, pogled na sosednji zid
Pros:

Izvrstna lokacija, osebje prijazno in ustrežljivi.

Cons:

V sobi ni bilo hladilnika . Sobe so enostavno brez hladilnikov. Iz sobe ni bilo nobenega pogleda na mesto, ampak na zid sosednje stavbe, ki je bila cisto blizu. Zajtrk dober, na avtomatu za kavo sta delovali samo dve opciji , ni bilo čokolade. Prav tako ni bilo nobenih sokov, kot v ostalih hotelih.

Pros:

Location - perfect.
Breakfast was excellent, considering the price.

Cons:

Room - it would be great if the single room were a bit more spacious and had a more comfortable desk for computer work, However, everything else was very good.

Pros:

La proximité des lieux de la mer, des mosquées, des musées, des marchés et des transports.
Le petit dejeuner était bien, il faudrait ajouter des fruits et des boissons pour qu il soit parfait.

Cons:

Le bruit en journée car l immeuble est en travaux, les equipements de la salle de bain et wc étaient abimés (bouton de chasse d eau, fuite au niveau de la douchette, poignée de porte cassé).
Une des chambres avait la clim défectueuse, l homme de l'hotel nous a proposé d ouvrir les fenêtres à la place.

Přímo v centru města blízko památek.
Pros:

Umístění hotelu je strategické ohledně blízkosti stanice Sirkeci, Hagia sofia cca 15min pěšky. Na tramvaj kousíček cca 5min. Snídaně v ceně. Terasa přístupná s výhledem na vodu. Cena dobrá. Příjemný pan na recepci.

Cons:

Snídaně velmi jednoduchá, ale nenáročním vadit nebude. Zařízení zastaralé, špinavé křeslo s nějakou skvrnou. Nulová komunikace s hotelem přes zprávy. Koupelna malá, stejně i pokoj, ale to jsem čekal... Nebylo mydlo v koupelně.
