Best placed hotel for all the sights and restaurant scene
Pros:

when we were dropped of by the taxi , i was a bit apprehensive as the surrounding area is a bit tatty with lots of old electrical shops. however once you get your bearings you could not be better placed. the hotel and the staff were wonderful and the breakfast had lots of choices.

Cons:

only one mirror in the bathroom but there were 2 sinks, no full length mirror.

Frühstücksterasse mit Ausblick auf den Bosphorus
Pros:

Die Lage des Hotels war absolut top! Wir konnten überall zu Fuß hingehen oder mit der Fähre fahren. Also von der Location her nicht zu überbieten. Die Angestellten waren überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend und alles war sauber. Die Betten waren bequem, die Zimmer sehr ok. Es war eigentlich ruhig, man hat die Stadt nicht gehört. Leider hat man die Badezimmer und Klimaanlage des Nachbarzimmers gehört. Das umwerfendste an dem Hotel war die große Frühstücksterasse mit Blick auf den Bosphorus, die man auch untertags und Abends nutzen durfte.

Es war ein angenehmer und schöner Aufenthalt
Pros:

Es war sehr zentral, die Zimmer sehr geräumig, personal hilfsbereit und freundlich.

Cons:

Abends war es bis 2-3 Uhr morgens enorm laut. Die Fenster konnten daher nicht geöffnet bleiben.
Irgendwelche Gespräche die gefühlt im Zimmer stattgefunden haben, Tonnen gewaschen wurden oder Musik abgespielt wurde hat einem den Schlaf geraubt.

Nu recomand
Pros:

Poziția reprezinta un avantaj, pe de o parte.

Cons:

Nu se poate dormi noaptea daca aveti ferestrele spre clubul la care bubuie muzica toata noaptea, indiferent de ziua saptamanii.
La momentul rezervarii apareau indicate servicii spa (unele incluse in pret, iar altele extra). Dar, surpriza, hotelul nu furnizeaza asemenea servicii.
Internetul nu functioneaza la etajul 3. La fel nici TV-ul pentru servicii care necesita conexiune la internet. Una dintre ferestrele camerei nu se deschide.
De asemenea, se mentioneaza ca exista priza langa pat. Fals, nu exista.
