Pros:

Нам все очень понравилось, расположение отеля идеальное, до площади Султанахмет 5мин, до автобуса Havabus 5 минут. На последнем этаже есть ресторан с красивым видом. Мы подружились с работником отеля - Антонио, он нам подсказал куда сходить и как добраться до нужных мест. Также он порекомендовал какие блюда заказать на обед, накормили от души. На ресепшене тоже все очень вежливые и готовы помочь, заказали нам трансфер в аэропорт. ЕСТЬ УТЮГ! :D это прекрасно! Спасибо ребята!

Pros:

L'emplacement

Cons:

Le bruit, on entend tous les passages dans le couloir et le restaurant au rooftop nous réveillait en pleine nuit. La douche était en mauvais état et mettait de l'eau partout dans la salle de bain. La literie (couverture) n'était pas agréable.

Sejour assez sympatique car bien situé. Confort moyen car bruyant
Pros:

L’emplacement près des centres d’interêts principaux est parfait.

Cons:

Malheureusement j’avais payé une suite familiale et la climatisation ne marchait pas donc on nous a donné 2 chambres simples.
J’ai trouvé les gens très bruyants les portes claquent toute la nuit c’est dommage.
