Ensimmäistä kertaa Istanbulissa
Pros:

Sijainti on erinomainen, nähtävyydet aivan vieressä, samoin illanvietto paikat - silti rauhallinen.

Henkilökunta oli todella miellyttävä ja avulias. Tunsimme olomme tervetulleiksi!

Cons:

TVn käyttö oli hankalaa, signaali katkeili usein. TV oli aika pieni. Sänky oli keskinkertainen.

Lovely hotel in a great location with wonderful staff.
Pros:

The staff was amazing, super helpful with every request, welcoming, thoughtful, helped me out with directing me to a pharmacy for medication I needed to get, and finding my telephone when it fell inside the elevator shaft. I felt safe as a single older woman staying there. Generous breakfast. Room was small but perfectly functional. It was right on the main street but not too noisy. Location was great, close to many of the major sights in the city.

Cons:

I had to work New York hours in the evening and the WIFI was not always working for video meetings and I had to depend on my phone for a hotspot.

Muy buena ubicación
Pros:

La ubicación es excelente, estás en el centro pero no en todo el bullicio. El trato del personal es inmejorable y estaba muy limpio.

Cons:

Lo que menos nos gustó que nuestra habitación daba a un patio interior y las vistas eran a una pared .

Pros:

Очень приятный, отзывчивый и ненавязчивый персонал. Помогли с билетами на матч, дали правильный совет по времени заказа трансфера в аэропорт. Работники кухни тоже очень приятные. Мы пришли к окончанию завтра, оставалось 2 варёных яйца, которые мы укладывали себе в тарелку. Женщина-повар подошла, сказала, что больше варёных яиц нет, так как скоро окончание, но если мы хотим, она сделает омлет - всё вежливо и с улыбкой.

Cons:

У нас был двойной номер на 2-м этаже. Два номера, соединённых общей прихожей. В одном было окно и хорошо работала вентиляция. В другом окна не было (по фото это видно, без проблем), но и вентиляция работала слабо. Было тяжело спать.
