من اسوء الفنادق اللتي اخترتها في موقع بوكنج للأسف.
Pros:

فقط الموقع جيد جدا

Cons:

بصراحه ما كنت أتوقع أن يكون الفندق بهدا السوء من ناحية المراتب غير مريحه ابدا و سببت الم لي بالظهر حتى المخدات سيئه جدا و اعتقد من فتره كبيره لم تتغير . والفطور غير المعهود بفنادق تركيا و يوجد نقص في بعض الأصناف. لا أعلم هل الغرف هدي للضيوف الذين يحجزون عن طريق بوكنج فقط ولماذا يتعاملون هكذا .. ارجوا الايضاح من بوكنج .

Pros:

O hotel em si é bom, boa localização, funcionários prestativos. O café da manhã é bom, mas se vc for ficar mais de 3 dias é sempre o mesmo, não muda e de frutas só tem maçã e o suco de laranja é pago, mas é uma delícia!

Cons:

As camas são muito moles, estou com dores na coluna. Pedi pra trocar de colchão e o funcionário me trocou de quarto, porém com o mesmo colchão. Ele foi prestativo mas a troca foi péssima. Não conseguimos dormir pq tinha um gerador ligado 24 h com um barulho insuportável principalmente a noite, o quarto cheirava a cigarro e um dia antes de partirmos fechou o wi fi e no dia da partida de manhã não tinha mais água quante para o banho.

Enjoyable, enlightening and easy.
Pros:

Double room with Golden Horn view was fabulous. Location near T1 tram and Marmaray trains perfect for using public transport. Also was within comfortable walking distance to Sultanahmet central historic area and walking bridge to Galata from Eminoneu. Staff at reception, in breakfast room and the cleaning woman were friendly and helpful. We loved the good public transport system using every type. Ferries were excellent.

Cons:

Downside of the room was a small, unventilated bathroom. Breakfast had good range but the hot food was only just warm, not hot. Downside of the area was the restaurant spruikers and higher prices than some other parts of the city. We loved the Asian side especially Kadiköy.

Dit hotel is centraal gelegen, het personeel is vriendelijk en de spa biedt een mooi binnenzwembad aan.
Pros:

Personeel was vriendelijk, alles netjes en hygiënisch, mooi zwembad in de spa.
Centrale ligging, dicht bij Galatabrug en topkapi/hagia Sofia, vanuit de kamer zicht op Bosporus (wel met treinstation tussen hotel en water) maar geen geluidsoverlast hierdoor.

Cons:

Beetje stijfjes, sombere, onpersoonlijk uitstraling buiten en binnen. Kan wat joy de vivre gebruiken. Tegelijk is iedereen vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Ik ben tevreden over mijn verblijf maar vind het net iets te duur voor wat je krijgt.
