Стамбул ,первая поездка)
Pros:

В общем и целом за те деньги что я заплатила хорошо. Хозяин выше всяких похвал. Старая часть города ,вокруг конечно много достопримечательностей,музеев и прочее это плюс . Минус это уже к тому что это старый город и много жилых домов таких же старых ,что портит вид ,панораму из окна ,но даёт тот самый стамбульский вайб.Как в сказке. Море в пешей доступности для прогулок,но не для купания места,на пляж нужно ехать. В отеле было чисто ,но заметила пару женских волос и запах (может от кондиционера ,может с моря ).завтрак был включен,принцип шведского стола, полотенца одеяла были. Кстати очень классный шампунь ,волосы после него очень мягкие . Это моя первая поездка в Стамбул,возможно поэтому не могу дать соответствующую оценку. Ведь в каждом государстве или регионе свои стандарты.

Scappate
Pros:

Struttura e personale pessimi. Avevamo prenotato fidandoci delle foto viste sul portale ma la camera non corrispondeva assolutamente a quella prenotata. Camera claustrofobica, sporca e bagno minuscolo, senza neanche la tenda per la doccia. In pratica era uno sgabuzzino. Siamo scappati via e costretti a prenotare una nuova struttura stesso in giornata. Abbiamo richiesto quindi il rimborso ma la struttura non risponde alle nostre mail e richieste. Lo sconsiglio assolutamente se non volete rovinarvi la vacanza nella meravigliosa Istanbul.

Cons:

Tutto, servizi inesistenti e pulizia pessima.

Historiallisten kohteiden kiertelylle hyvä tukikohta, hotellissa notkujille ei niin hyvä.
Pros:

Hyvä sijainti lähellä historiallisia kohteita. Aamupala näkymä hieno.

Cons:

Huone oli tosi pieni, enempi yhdelle hengelle pienemmällä sängyllä.
