Pros:

Ubytování je pár kroků od největších památek, půjdete li na druhou stranu jste za chvilku u vody, kde je pěší trasa.
Postel velice pohodlná, vše čisté, koupelna vybavená vším potřebným (ručníky, fén, mýdla, šampon, kondicionér). Jediné na co nejsem zvyklí, i když byla sprcha nastavená na studenou vodu, začala téct nejdřív horká a až pak začala téct studená.😁
Na snídani byl výběr veliký z Turecké kuchyně.
Komunikace s personálem super. Přijel jsem ve dvě ráno a žádný problém to nebyl.
Celkově jsem byl s ubytováním spokojený

Fabulous- and the Villa won!
Pros:

We cannot thank Sejman and all of the staff at La Vida enough for our stay in May.
The hotel is in a plum spot, situated in beautiful Sultanahmet with the Blue Mosque and Sophia, the trams and many restaurants.
We had a warm welcome on arrival late at night and after a long flight.
When a larger, brighter room became available we had the option to move which we did and it was painless.
The transfers were arranged for us to and from the hotel so we were very happy with our stay. Thankyou La Vida

Seaman and Caesar made us feel like we were home.
Pros:

Seaman and Caesar gave us wonderful help in every way.As older travelers, they were even willing to walk with us if needed. Gave us excellent recommendations and very helpful with an excursion that had problems. Out of their way to offer breakfast while we waited for room to be ready which was early check in.. Very clean and modern room. If stairs carpet replaced, I think hotel would become a higher star rating.. Excellent air conditioning..quiet and quick to cool room.

Cons:

Housekeeping:: I had put out sheet to use instead of duvet. She kept removing. Toilet not cleaned every day and basket liner not replaced

Triple room 104 is nothing like the photos
Pros:

Good location, can walk to most landmarks. Breakfast was pretty good.

Cons:

Booked the triple room I saw in the photos. Was given room 104, which is a double size room made into a triple. Room was small and cramped, nothing like the advertised photos.
Shower in bathroom needs repair. The seal under the shower door is broken so water leaks all over the floor. Had to roll up the shower mat and towels and stuff it by the door to prevent the water from leaking out of the shower.
Asked for another room but was told nothing was available. Did not have time to dispute or look for another place, so we just made it work the best we could. If you book a triple and they lead you to 104, immediately ask for another room.
