Magical place with unique character!
Pros:

Magical place with great host Alper and a unique character. It is an amazing place where you feel at home that has a touch of past style where you feel great. The room is comfortable with great style and you have everything that you need for you to enjoy the character of Vila. The location is really good, you are very close to the main attractions, the Blue mosque and Hagia Sofia, and other attractions, a sea walk area, including restaurants and shops. It is truly a unique place with a touch of magic.

Cons:

There is nothing bad to say about this place.

Utmärkt boutique hotell med personlig känsla.
Pros:

Utmärkt läge, enastående personal - hjälpsamma och vänliga. Trevliga rum. Härlig independentkänsla.

Cons:

Man får acceptera en hel del ljud på tidiga morgonen. Tåget dundrar förbi tidigt. Men utsikten är härlig.

Управляющий Alper просто душка, всегда весел, приветлив и готов помочь по всем вопросам. Вкусные и сытные завтраки, даже
Pros:

Расположение отеля прекрасное, до Айя Софии идти 10 минут, удобство номера, у нас был трёх местный, подушка для меня была толстовата, но это на мой личный вкус.

Cons:

Два дня жили на третьем этаже в номере было несколько российских каналов, переселились ниже на этаж, настраивали телевизор тк вообще не показывал, после обновления увы уже без наших тв было, но мы не стали мучать повторно нашего прекрасного управляющего) И номер на втором этаже немного более изношен (сломан юсб порт для зарядки телефона, стеклянная шторка в душе слетала немного, не было маленьких мыла и шампунек) думаю на третьем меньше народа заселяют, тк пешком на третий этаж сложнее подниматься)

Outstanding staff made the difference
Pros:

Amazing and friendly staff , everyone was kind and attentive throughout my stay. Alper was exceptional, always available and helpful at any hour of the day. The hotel is also very well located, just a few steps from the Blue Mosque.

Cons:

The bathroom in my room was incredibly small. Breakfast was good, but almost identical every day; the only daily variations were fresh fruit and the dessert. There is also a train station nearby, and some trains pass quite close to the windows, so it could be a bit noisy at times, although it was never unbearable as the trains were not running constantly. By Italian standards, I would describe this property more as a superior bed & breakfast rather than a true boutique hotel.
