Unacceptable
Cons:

Do not be fooled by the price or location.

This property was completely unfit for human stay. We had to leave at 4 a.m. with my family due to a severe bed bug infestation and visible mold (see photos).

There was no reception at the property itself. communication were handled through a different hotel. Despite reporting the issue immediately, our messages were ignored.

We received neither a refund nor any meaningful solution after being forced to leave.

One of the worst and most stressful accommodation experiences I have ever had.

Great experience!
Pros:

We liked it very much!
Perfect location, gentle supportive staff! Great Antik restaurant just downstairs offers ample variety of choices!
Very comfortable place, quiet enough despite the main city attractions and restaurants are nearby.
For our family stay that was excellent choice. Highly recommend.

Cons:

I would love to stay longer...

Pros:

Location.

Cons:

Very hard communication with host before arrival. I received only messages from any bot. In confirmation was mentioned that I will receive instructions for accomodation two days before arrival. Nothing. I have sent two SMS to given phone numbers. Nothing. In the end I wrote mail to booking.com. After that somebody sent me a message "I spoke with booking.com. If you want instructions send me WhatsApp number."in

Pros:

Были 2 взрослых и 2 детей в конце марта. Жили одни в доме, больше жильцов не было. Номер на втором этаже с окнами на вход парка Гульхане. Действительно - регистрация не в этом здании, но внизу есть ресторан и персонал показал куда пройти - всего 30 метров, в отеле Шафран. Встретили как родных. Помогли с вещами, показали номер. Все просто, но идеально чисто. Никаких насекомых и запаха. В номере есть батареи и очень тепло. В ванне - теплый пол, полотенцесушитель. С водой так же не было проблем. При закрытых окнах улицы и трамвая практически не слышно, но нам вообще это не мешало - наоборот шум улицы, запах ресторана, трамвай - колорит Стамбула. Замечательный отель с идеальным местом.
Отдельно скажу про завтрак - сытно, все свежее, нам хватало на пол дня. Яйца, овощи, Печёный перец, оливки, Печёный картофель, соусы, масло с медом, теплые лепешки и чай - супер. Все в ресторане на первом этаже.

Cons:

Такого нет, все было хорошо

Отличное расположение, хорошие номера
Pros:

Удобное расположение, но вначале пришлось поискать ресепшн. Отзывчивые сотрудники.
В номере чисто и аккуратно, небольшая кухня. Убирали и меняли полотенца каждый день.
Есть фен и утюг. Вкусный завтрак.

Cons:

Пришлось поискать ресепшн, т.к. он в другом здании. Будьте внимательны к сообщениям от объекта размещения, это упростит ваши поиски. В Стамбуле пару раз сталкивались с такими поисками.

Bon rapport qualité prix.
Pros:

Chambres grandes, propres. Très satisfaite. Juste en face de la ligne de tramway donc un peu bruyant. Mais accès facile aux transports. Par contre le petit déjeuner est vraiment très décevant.
Très bon rapport qualité prix. Communication par whatsapp facile.

Cons:

Petit déjeuner
