Cons:

Parcarea a fost in fata hotelului pe strada dar noi am fost mai multe masini si nu aveai unde sa parchezi.Am fost nevoiti sa parcam la o proprietate privata si am platit o gramada de bani.Daca alegeti hotelul ca are parcare este o mare teapa.!!!! Si inca ceva ,nu am putut plati cu cardul , trebuia sa am card cu euro ,nu mi s a mai intamplat pana aici. La cat am platit….. am fost foarte dezamagita.

Kiváló ár-érték arányú szálloda Isztambul történelmin részén
Pros:

Nagyon segítőkész személyzet. Sok étterem a környéken. Tömegközelkedés nincs túl messze.

Cons:

Meleg víz kevés volt. A szomba ajtaja hézagosan záródott csak.

Feedback
Pros:

There are many restaurants nearby

Cons:

Taxis couldn't find the location, 3 nights in a row there was no light (electricity issues) and I got no discount for it, breakfast is very simple and window/door was not soundproof
