Pros:

Ospitalitatea a fost la cota maxima,aici poti simți cu adevărat tradiția.Locatia aproape de principalele atracții.Recomand sa apelați la personal pt serviciul de transport de la aeroport si spre aeroport

Cons:

Cu toate ca este aproape de obiectivele turistice drumul pana la ele poate fi obositor orașul fiind situat pe coline

Pros:

Excellent emplacement pour faire du tourisme et tout peut ce faire a pieds, et le gentillesse du patron et personnel, le petit déjeuner très bien, les snack aussi, et pleins de restaurant a quelques mètres.

Cons:

Le parking un peu éloigné. Et attention il faut savoir que c'est une ruelle marchande donc bruyant le soir et le matin mais cela fait partie du folklore.

Lovely boutique hotel in Istanbul
Pros:

I had a lovely stay at the Golden Arrow Hotel! The rooms were clean, and the terrace was especially lovely. It is located within walking distance of many attractions and the street itself is very charming with many restaurants. Breakfast is good, and the owners are very kind. They even let me store my bag over a weekend. Would stay again!

Cons:

Might be useful to add some shades or curtains to the windows, as the room gets bright early in the morning.

Een leuk verblijf, al kan het met een klein beetje reparatie het nog veel beter worden
Pros:

De spontaniteit van de host. De goeie ligging om alles te bezoeken als je een beetje mobiel bent.

Cons:

De krappe ruimte van de badkamer, de lavabo kraan kon je niet gebruiken omdat er meer water langt de fitting spuit dan dat er water uit de kraan komt. De gewone douchekop hetzelfde. Regendouche werkte naar behoren.

Buena ubicación, habitación muy pequeña.
Pros:

Ubicación excelente, a 15 minutos como mucho de la plaza de Sultanameth, los desayunos bastante bien, desayuno turco con cafe turco o té. Variaba algo cada día, aunque la base era la misma (revuelto huevo, aceitunas, ensalada de tomate y pepino.. etc.). Se tomaba en el pequeño bar del alojamiento, digo pequeño porque solo tenia 2 mesas dentro y 4 fuera. El precio es muy económico y si solo lo quieres para dormir por la ubicación merece la pena. Si eres muy exigente este no es tu lugar.

Cons:

La habitación para 3 personas era demasiado pequeña, una cama de matrimonio y una pequeñita, el armario era muy muy pequeño, cabía la ropa como mucho de 2 personas, y casi no teníamos sitio para dejar maletas, calzado etc. El baño diminuto sin ventanas y con una ducha que se salía todo el agua. Había una especie de cocina con un frigorífico pequeño que perdía mucha agua y había que poner toallas o papel. Tuvimos que decirla a la encargada que limpiara porque durante 2 días no paso y 3 personas en una habitación generan suciedad.

Cons:

Ko sva prispela v sobo, sva opazila, da je na balkonu drugačen set za sedenje, kot je prikazan na sliki. Na balkonu je tudi stol z blazinami, ki so pokakane od ptčjih drekov, ki jih lastnik nastanitve ne čisti. Drugi dan v nastanitvi, je se lastnik odlocil, da bo na okna v najino sobo nalepik proszorno motno prevleko, takrat je tudi odstanil senčila. Senčila prvi dan na oknih niso zablokirala soncnih žarkov, tako da je zjutraj bilo takoj svetlo, hkrati pa so na balkonu tudi led luči, ki svetiho celo noč, tako da bres maske za spanje ne moreš v sobi spati. Ko so odsttanili sencila iz oken, je bila soba še bolj svetla. Opozarjam tudi, da je namestitev blizu restavracij z živo glasbo, ki je zelo glasna, tako da jo slišiš še do 1:00 zjutraj. Če zelite obiskati nastanitev, svetujem masko za spanje za oki in čepke za ušesa. Določene dneve tudi ni bilo tople vode v kopalnici, kar sklepam, da je posledica premajhnega kotlička za gretje vode. Vsako jutro sva za zajterk dobila drugo hrano, vendar je bil zajterk zelo majhen, kolicina hrane za dve osebi, je bila dovolj samo za eno osebo. Glede na vse naštete pomankljivosti ne bi nikomu priporočala te nastanitve. Sploh pa ni vredna denarja, ki sva ga plačala za njo.

Definitely value for money, except for the bathroom everything else was ok. Very nice staff.
Pros:

Location was excellent, the bed was comfortable and we had clean towels daily.

Cons:

The bathroom was dated, the shower worked well but the sink was leaking water on the floor. There was no window in the bathroom and a very bed smell was coming from the toilet at times.

Pros:

We had a very pleasant stay at this hotel. The location is excellent—within walking distance of many great restaurants and close to the main attractions, which made exploring the area very convenient. There’s also a metro line just around the corner, making it easy to get around the city.

The staff were always polite, friendly, and helpful, which really added to the overall positive experience.

The room itself was nice and comfortable, although the bathroom was quite small. The only downside was that our room, located on the first floor above the restaurant and facing the street, could be noisy. This may not be an issue for rooms on higher floors, but if you're a light sleeper, we’d recommend bringing earplugs.

Overall, it’s a great hotel offering very good value for money, and we would happily stay here again.
