Typisch Sultanahmedviertel
Pros:

Aufmerksames Personal das sich um alles kümmert mit Zimmerservice auch noch um 15.00 Uhr.
Landestypisches Frühstück auf der Dachterasse. Gut und reichhaltig mit abwechselnden Speisen. Wer deutsches oder englisches Frühstück möchte ist sicher hier nicht richtig. Natürlich gibt es keinen Speck oder Wurst vom Schwein, aber Süßspeisen, Gebäck, Joghurt, Obst, Salate, Eier, gebratenes Gemüse usw.
Lage im Touristengebiet. Wo andere mit Bus oder Straßenbahn erst hinkommen müssen, bist Du schon.

Cons:

Haus ist hellhörig wegen Holzböden. Konstruktion und Alter des Hauses ist für dieses Viertel typisch.
Gilt aber für alle Gäste die gegenseitig Rücksicht nehmen müssen und dies auch taten.
Dachterasse ist nur über Treppe erreichbar.

Fantastyczna lokalizacja, cisza, spokój, a jednocześnie blisko do wszystkich zabytków. Pyszne śniadanie w restauracji na tarasie: duży wybór i bardzo urozmaicone. Wybór tego hotelu był znakomitą decyzją.

Ficou gravado no coração
Pros:

Achei a minha estadia excelente, desde o primeiro contacto quando fiz a reserva foi tudo explicado pelo Sr. Ismail que foi sempre muito atencioso durante a estadia. Adorei o quarto, bem espaçoso e bastanta confortável, em relação á limpesa também nada de mal a dizer, tanto o quarto quanto todo o hotel está muito arrumado e limpo. O pequeno almoço também muito bem servido e com o bónos de ser servido no terraço do hotel com uma vista excelente para o estreito do Bósforo de um lado e do outro para a Mesquita Azul. O Hotel fica muito bem situado, a 5 minutos a pé da Mesqita Azul e Haia Sofia. Com muitos restaurantes bem próximo e um pequeno mercado para comprar lembranças. Recomendo vivamente este hotel a quem quizer passar uns dias em Istambul seja em casal ou com a família. Falta salientar que tem um excelente serviço de transfer do Aéroporto para o hotel. Um grande abraço e obrigado a toda a equipe do Darussaade Hotel Old City.

Cons:

Nada a dizer

Pros:

Mały hotel położony w pobliżu Hipodromu, Hagia Sophia i Błękitnego Meczetu. Wszędzie pieszo. Blisko do morza. Spokojna boczna uliczka, co ma znaczenie w Stambule.

Cons:

Dość monotonne śniadania w formie bufetu. Mały wybór. Niedobra kawa z ekspresu przelewowego.

No coração do Centro Antigo
Pros:

Atendimento sensacional, localização ótima e vista para o Bósforo

Cons:

Por ser um prédio de 150 anos, alguma coisa sempre existe, porém o atendimento por parte dos funcionários superou qualquer problema
