Well-placed stay steps away from the Agia Sofia.
Pros:

There was an outstanding view of the Sultanahmet district’s main landmarks from the rooftop breakfast room. The front desk personel were very helpful. Many good restaurants in the area.

Cons:

It was hard to fit two people in the bathroom at the same time.

Nice hotel in wonderful location. Excellent breakfast and friendly staff. Lovely resident cat too!
Pros:

The Rast is in an excellent central location. Our room was on the 5th floor and looked on to the Hagia Sophia and Blue Mosque. The breakfast was excellent, and the terrace wonderful. Lovely staff too.

Cons:

I felt our room lacked warmth. It was large, but felt empty. Given the wonderful view, I think a small sofa would be a welcome addition. I think some lightbulbs needed replaced too.

失礼な女性スタッフは教育すべき。
Pros:

朝食会場(ルーフトップ)からの景色とご飯とお茶のサービス

Cons:

口コミにもありますが、朝食会場の女性ホールスタッフはとても失礼な方たちです。特にアジア人には挨拶しない、無言でお皿を下げる、不貞腐れた顔している。欧米の方たちには笑顔でした。控えめに言ってもホスピタリティに欠けています。
男性スタッフの方たちはみなさん素敵な接客でした。

Un hotel magnífico, repetiría
Pros:

En el último piso hay una terraza cubierta con vistas preciosas y súper amplias. Allí se toma el desayuno buffet pero también se puede subir a cualquier hora. La ubicación del hotel es muy buena, muy cerca del centro andando. En recepción había un chico que sabía hablar español, muy simpático y atento. El personal era muy amable en general 😊

Cons:

El baño de nuestra habitación era un poco pequeño, por decir algo. La primera noche se escuchaba mucho ruido de la calle, tuvimos que usar tapones para los oídos.

Courteous, helpful staff, with a vibe that was simultaneously old-world and not too formal.
Pros:

Pretty much everything. Excellent rooftop restaurant with magnificent views and very good complimentary breakfast.

Cons:

Room was a bit under furnished, but was large and had a small table, two upholstered chairs, and a balcony.
