Pros:

Прекрасный отель с идеальным расположением! Тихо, чисто, до всех главных достопримечательностей и трамвайной остановки можно дойти пешком всего за несколько минут. Wi-Fi работал стабильно на протяжении всего проживания. Персонал невероятно гостеприимный и отзывчивый. Соотношение цены и качества совпадает на все 100%. Обязательно вернусь сюда снова!

Cons:

Во время нахождения в номере немного не хватало приложения YouTube на телевизоре. Также заметно, что со временем отелю потребуется небольшой косметический ремонт, но общему комфорту это не мешало.

​Wenn man keine hohen Ansprüche hat, ist das Hotel sehr gut – vor allem die Lage, und sauber ist es
Pros:

Sehr hilfsbereites und nettes Personal sowie eine super Lage!

Cons:

​Das Zimmer war für unsere Bedürfnisse sehr klein. Wenn man mit vier Koffern anreist, wird es platzmäßig leider extrem eng.

Pros:

The staff was very friendly and helped us out woth suggestions as well. Very warm and welcoming. Very centrally located and hagia sophia and blue mosque is a 10 15 min walk, the nearby areas also has good restaurants and a good vibe in the night

Cons:

The bathroom needs a bit of refurbishing , was disappointing to see rust in the shower gel and shampoo containers. Also the wondo in the bathroom has a blind which feels a bit unsafe

Нам все очень понравилось. Мы заезжали только на переночевать, да и иметь возможность быстро добираться до нужных локаци
Pros:

Персонал очень вежливый, создают очень приятную атмосферу. Место расположение очень комфортное, все, что нам нужно было, все было в близости. Завтраки небольшие, но очень сытные и вкусные

Cons:

С таким ожиданием и ехали, что это отель для переночевать. Не стоит от него ожидать, что будет все новое и свежее.

Pros:

We really enjoyed our stay at Tayahatun Hotel! The location is absolutely perfect — just a 2-minute walk to the tram station, making it very easy to explore Istanbul.
The staff were incredibly nice, helpful, and friendly, especially Korhan, Yusuf, and Erdoghan. They made us feel very welcome throughout our stay and were always happy to help.
The breakfast was also good, with a nice way to start the day.
Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely choose Tayahatun Hotel again on our next visit to Istanbul! Highly recommended.

Ottima posizione, buona la colazione
Pros:

Ottima la posizione. Sebbene semplice ed essenziale, ha tutto per passare una vacanza per conoscere al meglio la città. La colazione buona, tendenzialmente salata. Poche cose semplici ma buone.

Cons:

Nulla da dire.
