Herzliches Hotel mit Liebe geführt
Pros:

Der Ausblick beim Frühstück ist einfach unschlagbar!! Dazu kommt auch noch die nette Umsorgung im Hotel. Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt und es fühlt sich an wie ein süßes Guesthouse

Cons:

Dadurch das es eher einem Guesthouse entspricht ist der Komfort im Hotel ausreichend. Unser Zimmer und Bad war sehr klein aber mehr braucht man auch nicht wenn man sowieso nur nachts da ist.

Pros:

La ubicación inmejorable. Omar, el recepcionista muy atento y amable. La cama era cómoda.

Cons:

La limpieza era nefasta, aseo sucio con instalaciones erosionadas y antiguas. Nos encontramos una cuchilla usada de otros huespedes. La habitación y la entrada olía mal. La habitación pequeñísima, de hecho no sé podía abrir la puerta del baño sin que topara con la mesilla. Paredes manchadas. Nos fuimos antes de lo previsto. No entendemos cómo tenía esa nota, será por Omar, el recepcionista que era atento y servicial. El desayuno escueto, poca fruta fresca y nada de variedad, la habitación olía mal, sin ventilación, platos y vasos sucios, las mesas idem, tuvimos que limpiar todo. Las fotos deben estar retocadas con inteligencia artificial, no esperéis lo que veis.

Comunque tutto bene
Pros:

Senza dubbio, la struttura è posizionata in una zona strategica per visitare Istanbul, da lì in 10 minuti a piedi, arrivi alla moschea blu, mentre in 30 minuti arrivi al porto per imbarcarti e fare il giro sul bosforo. Le vie principali per vedere i vari negozi di souvenir o per mangiare sono proprio lì dietro. Il gestore è molto disponibile e si è dato da fare per farmi parcheggiare la moto in queste loro viette molto strette e con forti pendenze e dato il traffico io ho preferito non usarla più perché lì è veramente da folli.

Cons:

La stanza è vero che viene dichiarata di 15 m quadri e devo dire che sono reali. È molto piccola e per nostra fortuna era ubicata al piano terra perché le altre camere al piano 1 e 2 hanno una scala veramente ripida per arrivarci. Vorrei diversificare il voto dato per la pulizia. La camera era pulita ma il forte odore di fogna e una doccia non proprio curata per via della muffa insieme a un lavandino che non riesce nemmeno a sciacquarti il viso e a un cestino rotto che per aprirlo devi utilizzare le mani e non il piede fanno perdere molti punti a questa struttura.

Da fuga!
Pros:

Nulla abbiamo dovuto cambiare Hotel

Cons:

La struttura è fatiscente.
Oltre a questo, abbiamo prenotato 3 camere doppie. Al momento dell'arrivo c'erano solo due.
Abbiamo perso tutto il pomeriggio ma per fortuna booking ci ha supportato nella ricerca di un nuovo hotel.
