Небольшой уютный отель в центре Стамбула
Pros:

Уютный небольшой семейный отель в центре ночной ресторанной жизни Стамбула. Имеет ресторанчик и несколько номеров. Добродушная семейная атмосфера, аутентичные номера, встречает хозяин отеля Фарух и его супруга, очень приятные люди. Хороший просторный чистый номер с белоснежным постельным бельем и полотенцами, есть даже одноразовые тапочки, шампуни и гели для душа, чай, кофе. Мы брали с завтраком, вполне прилично. - тарелка с овощами, тарелка с яичницей, тарелка с сырно-колбасной нарезкой, оливки, чай. Отличный отель за свои деньги, остались очень приятные воспоминания, обязательно вернемся еще раз!

Lovely hotel and location.
Pros:

Location is excellent Old town Sultan Ahmed very central. Lots of shops and restaurants around. A few supermarkets just 3-4 min walk. I had the room with balcony and the view was very nice and the views of the streets with restaurants with singers so nice. Breakfast was made downstairs at the restaurant fresh when you go. The AC works perfectly, it was very hot weather when I stayed. Bathroom is nice too, big space in the shower.
Thank you to Faruk for everything and his hard work. A very lovely person. I’ll definitely come again and book this hotel.

Cons:

It’s all good. I had everything I needed. Room was very clean with clean towels and everyone there friendly. Breakfast was every day including Sundays. Faruk is very flexible and helpful with anything you ask. It was worth booking this hotel.

Lovely - would recommend, especially for couples!
Pros:

Everything was very pleasant, the room very large and comfortable. Little, clean and coquette hotel. 4 floors, each floor having one room.
The owner was very nice with us and gave us free baklavas and Turkish Tea/Turkish Coffee everytime he saw us.
10-15 minutes by foot to Cemberlitas Station/Street which is very close to the main attractions.
A lot of restaurants and stores near the hotel.
Everyday we received something new for breakfast.
Cok guzel!

Cons:

The breakfast could be improved, as the portions are relatively small and there is not a wide variety of food to choose from. (especially if you have stomach problems like me - and that’s why I’m writing about it).
Breakfast is not served as a buffet, instead, it is brought directly to your table. However, it’s nice that breakfast is available from 7:30 a.m. until 11:00 a.m., so you can sleep more if you want to.

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.
