狭いがよいホテル
Pros:

スタッフの皆さまは丁寧で感じが良い方たちだった。清掃やベッドメイクもきちんとしてくださった。アヤソフィアやスルタンアフメト・モスクなどの観光地は徒歩圏内で、近隣にはレストランも多く便利な立地（ただし最寄りの駅やバス停まで徒歩１０分ほどかかる）

Cons:

スタンダード　ダブルルームに宿泊。スーツケースを広げる場所がないほど狭くやや不便だった。

Jättebra läge, trevlig personal, rent och snyggt
Pros:

Frukosten var jättebra, trevlig engagerad personal.

Cons:

Saknade sänglampor. Hade även varit bra med fler krokar eller en liten garderob för att kunna hänga upp fler kläder.

Ubicación perfecta, personal muy amable y muy familiar el hotel.
Cons:

La ubicación para desayunar no nos gustó, cada mañana subir 4 pisos es cansado. La variedad de comida un poco escasa con respecto a lo que nosotros acostumbramos. Pero la señora muy atenta y amable.

I had an amazing experience staying here, the beds are súper Comfy, recepcionista
Pros:

The receptionist was super friendly and helpful the room was super clean and had a nice shower!

Cons:

Maybe the one thing that could be improved were the curtains, they let a lot of light in, which made it a
Bit hard for me to sleep! Investing in some
Good black light curtains would be great for getting the best rest possible!

Very nice hotel in a good location. The hotel is freshly renovated, including bathroom. Everything worked properly: wifi, AC, safe, hot water. The room had windows. The breakfast was served in another hotel, just a couple of meters away.

Cons:

The room is small, be ready for that.

Pros:

Excellent location and very clean.

Cons:

My particular room was way smaller than I anticipated and the balcony was of no use at all, surrounded by walls, zero view.

Старый "неухоженный номер", а отель на 4 звезды не тянет

We were very pleased with our stay.
Pros:

The front desk staff was outstanding. They gave us directions to every place, identified how to use public transportation and provided route information and recommended restaurants. We have never received such wonderful advice. Although the room was compact, it was very clean.

Cons:

Nothing.

Cute boutique hotel in a very central location.
Pros:

The location was great! You’re a 10min walk from all the main sites and the area is full of really good restaurants. There is also a nice little bazaar nearby. The staff were really helpful throughout the stay.

Cons:

The room is very small and the walls (interior and exterior) are extremely thin you can hear everything that is happening outside on the street. Our room did not face a busy street so at night it was okay. The bed was not the most comfortable.
