Peaceful and safe.
Pros:

Female solo traveler. Great value for money. Place is safe. Residencial neighborhood. Items in room are new ( mattress and towels ). Hotel staff are kind. I loved the location as it very easy to take the ferry to the old part of the city ( without having to stay in the tourist area )

Cons:

It would be lovely to have a little kettle or water heater in the room to prepare tea.

Bien ubicado y barrio tranquilo
Pros:

La amabilidad del personal y las habitaciones limpias y funcionales. Nos vino muy bien para conocer el lado asiatico y tomar el avión desde el aeropuerto cercano. El dueño nos acercó en su coche hasta la.parada del metro que lleva directo al aeropuerto.... todo un detalle.

Cons:

De las tres habitaciones que reservamos una de ellas olía mucho a tabaco, estando prohibido fumar. Se ve que por algún lado pasaba el humo , probablemente por la ventilación del baño, nos dieron ambientador.
Hay una mezquita justo en frente, así que la llamada al rezo de la mañana se oye bien, esto es puramente informativo, a nosotros no nos molestó.

Un super petit hôtel chaleureux et bien placé 👍 Bio
Pros:

Super petit hôtel familial très chaleureux, très propre, et très bien placé. Le ferry est juste à côté pour rejoindre la rive européenne. Il y a tout ce qu'il faut, de l'eau, thé et café à volonté, plein de petites attentions de la part du gérant, lui et le receptionniste sont vraiment adorables et super serviables. Le ménage est très bien fait, tous les jours. Le chauffage est super efficace, on a la mosquée pleine de charme juste en face, c'est super calme et il y'a des bons restos à 5 minutes à pied c'est un vrai hôtel à taille humaine ou il ne manque rien. D'un bon rapport qualité prix. On est resté une semaine et on a passé un super séjour, je vous le recommande vraiment 👍

Cons:

Je mets 8 à cause du matelas et des oreillers qui ne me paraissent pas être des vrais matelas d'hôtel, j'ai eu un peu mal au dos. Bon la moquette c'était pas une bonne idée...c'est vraiment has been et je me demande si c'est la cause d'une odeur persistante un peu désagréable ... Mais bon c'est pas non plus un hôtel 4 étoiles et il a un très bon rapport qualité prix dans l'ensemble. On reviendra 👍

Pros:

stayed here with my mum for 3 nights for new year's. small but comfortable room with comfortable beds and sofa. next to a mosque, apart from that, quiet. partial view of the Bosporus. just next to a bus station and ferry and not far from Üsküdar with all the shops. room was quite overheated but it was ok when we opened the window. free coffee/tea from the cafe downstairs was a nice bonus. nice, attentive staff. would definitely stay again!!!

Cons:

bathroom a little bit musky

Really nice hotel in a quiet area on the Asian side of Istanbul
Pros:

Really nice hotel in a quiet area on the Asian side of Istanbul with an amazing coffee shop next door. Staff were friendly and helpful; the room was small but very clean and comfortable and the balcony was nice (even though there was a construction site next door).

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

Отель маленький, номера чистые. В целом, переночевать после целого дня прогулок - норм.
Отдельное спасибо персоналу, на ресепшен классные ребята, помогали по всем вопросам, всегда чай/кофе/воду предлагали. Гостеприимно!

Cons:

Единственное, что не понравилось именно нам, это подушки. Но тут всем свое)

Güzeldi.Tavsiye ederim.
Pros:

Ulaşım imkânı gerçekten harika! Otelin bulunduğu yerden başlayıp Salacak Sahili boyunca Üsküdar’a kadar, Boğaz’ın eşsiz manzarası eşliğinde yaklaşık 15 dakikalık keyifli bir yürüyüş yapabiliyorsunuz. Oradan metro veya vapurla İstanbul’un her yerine ulaşım çok kolay. Ayrıca otele sadece 5 dakikalık yürüme mesafesinde bulunan Harem İskelesi’nden her 20 dakikada bir Eminönü’ne arabalı vapur seferi yapılıyor. Ulaşım açısından gerçekten mükemmeldi.
Ayrıca müşterilere gösterdikleri ilgi ve alakadan dolayı Efkan ve Atakan’a da içten teşekkür ederim.

Cons:

Daha iyi olabilir😉

Misafirperverlik, temizlik, hizmet, odadaki sunumlar, konumu, fiyatı açısından 4 4'lük bir otel.
Bu mevkide konaklamaya tekrar ihtiyacım olursa yine bu otele gelirim.

Çok memnun kaldık.
Pros:

En çok dikkatimi çeken nokta otelin temizliği oldu. Oda gerçekten tertemizdi.
İhtiyaç duyulacak her şey odada vardı. Sadece mini buzdolabı ve çaycı yoktu.
Otelin altındaki kafede ücretsiz çay kahve servisi vardı ve biz bunu değerlendirdik. Çalışanlar her konuda bizimle ilgilendiler. Konumu zaten çok güzeldi çünkü Üsküdar sahilinde hemen lolun kenarındaydı.
Oldukça güvenilir ve samimi bir ortamdı. Şikayet edebileceğim tek şey kahvaltısı idi. Taze ama yetersizdi. Ancak orada da mutfak ve dolapların temizliği gerçekten dikkat çekiciydi.
