Mi dispiace ma da evitare
Pros:

Pochissimo. Posso salvare alcune cose, tipo colazione passabile (quantità ma non qualità) , posizione buona per alcune attrazioni, la gentilezza di un solo ragazzo dello staff.

Cons:

Pulizia mi dispiace ma bocciata. Cibo, croce nera sulle cene (l'ultima l'abbiamo lasciata addirittura e siamo andati fuori) , non mi menziono perché sarebbe troppo. Stanza minuscola e bagno peggio ancora ovviamente. Lavandino che nemmeno le mani entravano, finestra da galera, vetro doccia non si chiudeva. Lasciate perdere.

Pros:

Bliskość zabytków, bardzo miły i uczynny personel.

Cons:

Hotel w mojej ocenie wymaga remontu, bo okres świetności ma już za sobą. Pokój , w którym spałam był mały, zaniedbany i źle posprzątany, grzyb w łazience, słaby odpływ wody w prysznicu, stara pościel i ręczniki, słabe śniadania i kolacje wliczone w cenę.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

The room shown in the photos is not the one we received, and it does not appear to exist as advertised. Essentially, you end up getting something completely different from what you saw.

Pros:

Super osebje in lokacija. Predvsem mlajši gospod na zajtrku super pozitiven. Zelo lepo je videti, da daste ostanke hrane mačkam na cesti. Odličen zajtrk.

Cons:

Vrata za v jedilnico so zelo glasne in se slišijo v 3. nadstropje, če imaš okno v apartmaju odprto. To se sliši vsakič, ko kdo vstopi/izstopi. Prav tako skupna odeja za pokrit za 2 osebi ni praktična. Dodajte, da ima vsak svojo. Večerja ni bife, ampak dobiš samo eno jed.

Great location, great people — but the "premier" tag needs some work
Pros:

Sarnic Premier sits right in the heart of Sultanahmet, which is genuinely hard to beat. The Blue Mosque practically on your doorstep, Hagia Sophia a short walk away, and the whole old city within easy reach on foot. For exploring Istanbul, you couldn't ask for a better base.
The staff are the real highlight — warm, attentive, and genuinely helpful. They can arrange discounts on a solid range of experiences too: Bosphorus cruises, the Princes' Islands, and more. That kind of local knowledge and initiative makes a real difference.The staff is amazing and very helfull. The rooms are of OK size, the location is quite, despite being very centrall. Plenty of restaurants and experiences. The hotel can provide a discount for different experiences like bosfor cruise, princess islands and many more.

Cons:

That said, several things stopped this from being a great stay rather than just a decent one. The rooms are a reasonable size but oddly lacking chairs — a minor detail that starts to grate after a long day of sightseeing. Privacy is also an issue: the only route to your room runs through the restaurant, which means every arrival and departure feels a little more public than it should.
Then there are the maintenance problems that frankly shouldn't exist in a property billing itself as premier. The elevator behaved erratically — going up was fine, but getting it to come back down required a small act of faith. The toilet ran constantly. The TV had no signal. These aren't quirks of a charming boutique hotel; they're things that need fixing.
The location and the team are genuinely excellent. But until the basics are sorted, the "premier" label is doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Als wir abends ankamen, mit Mühe, die Nacht dort verbringen müssten, haben wir am nächsten Tag ein anderes Hotel gefunde
Pros:

Nichts

Cons:

Zimmer war nicht sauber. Es roch extrem. Bettwäsche war nicht sauber, alles war hellhörig.
