Pros:

Вкусный завтрак. Wi-Fi работает стабильно. Вежливый персонал. Уборка каждый день. Тишина в номере. Хорошо работает вентиляция при закрытом окне.

Cons:

Небольшой выбор на завтраке. Wi-Fi нужно было заново подключать каждый день. Узкая кровать. Отель на возвышенности, возвращаться после прогулки всегда в горку. Номер маленький, но впрочем в центре почти все отели такие.

Disappointing
Pros:

The staff was great: very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was ok.

Cons:

The hotel is old. The room had a worn look. You can tell it hasn't been updated in decades. Unfortunately, there was also demolition going on next door, so there was constant banging from morning to late evening.

Bellissimo e oltre le aspettative! Istambul è veramente una città affascinante!
Pros:

L'Hotel è piccolo, non molte camere, e molto pulito.
La sua posizione è molto buona per visitare le grandi Moschee (Hagia Sofia e Moscea Blu).
Molto vicino anche al Palazzo di TopKapi e alla Basilica Cisterna.
Molto molto vicino al Gran Bazar.
Molto comoda anche la vicinanza alla metro che permette di collegarsi bene e velocemente a tutta la città. Noi abbiamo usato tantissimo la metro visitando Balat, Fener, Karakoi, Galata.
Con la metro ci siamo anche velocemente collegati al porto di Eminonu dal quale abbiamo preso i traghetti per la parte asiatica (Uskudar e Kadikoi).
Veramente comodo.
Il personale dell’Hotel è gentilissimo e offre sempre ottimi consigli per il soggiorno. Un particolare ringraziamento a Tarik che è stato particolarmente gentile e disponibile per organizzarci tutti i trasferimenti e la crociera sul Bosforo.
Stuttura molto molto consigliata!

Cons:

La colazione è buona, ma migliorerei un po' la disponibilità di cibo internazionale.
La parte turca è ottima.
La macchina del caffè era rotta ed avrebbe fatto molto comodo... :)

Pros:

Locatia

Cons:

-la micul dejun nu am avut cafea pentru ca era defect aparatul ( 3 zile). Ni s-au oferit dosr niste plicuri de cafea in schimb
- serviciul de transfer rezervat prin hotel a fost necorespunzător: mașinile nu aveau conturi de siguranță conforme iar șoferul de la întoarcere a scris mesaje tot drumul

Удобство!
Pros:

Местиположение на хотела!
Отношението и чистотата.
Кафемашината в хотела се развали, но те бяха достатъчно любезни, като ни правеха турско кафе без заплащане. Освен това пристигнахме преди указания час и ни беше предоставена възможност да се настаним в стая, която ни харесва и да закусим без да имаме закуска в цената.

Cons:

Няма такова нещо!

Pros:

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Aprilis Gold Hotel. The staff were very kind and attentive, the room was clean and the breakfast was lovely. The location of this hotel is great, near to all of the attractions and yet in a nice, quiet area. We would love to return one day!

Καλό ξενοδοχείο σε πολύ κοντινή απόσταση από τα μνημεία του Σουλταναχμέτ και από τη στάση του Τραμ 1.
Pros:

Η τοποθεσία, η καθαριότητα, η ευγένεια του προσωπικού, το πρωινό.

Cons:

Το δωμάτιο δεν είχε παντζουρια ή blackout κουρτίνες με αποτέλεσμα το πρώτο φως του ήλιου να πέφτει απευθείας στα κρεβάτια.

Good stay in Istanbul
Pros:

The location was within walking distance of the major sites in Sultanahmet. Trans to elsewhere were a short walk. The staff were attentive.

Cons:

There is no light above the sink, so it was hard to see what I was doing at times. The breakfast seems to be mostly Middle Eastern type foods, but the yogurt and cereal made it acceptable.

La chambre était très bien et le personnel de l’hôtel très chaleureux mais le petit déjeuner était tres décevant
Pros:

La chambre était conforme aux photos et à sa description.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner était bien en deçà de nos attentes et n’était pas en adéquation avec les notes et commentaires Booking.
