good value in the center of old town
Pros:

We stayed at the hotel for few nights with my husband. The room is small, but it was clean, safe and quiet. The location is very central and you can easily to the public transport from there. Main tourist attractions are easily accessed by foot. Breakfast was excellent and provided plenty of choices and was served at the hotel next door. The staff at the hotel was attentive and the most kind to us. We felt safe staying there. Good value for the money. I recommend you staying you staying there if you don't mind the size of the room. The room had a kettle and the fridge.

Cons:

nothing I can think of

Istanbul è davvero una città da visitare
Pros:

Colazione ottima, variegatissima e a buffet. Staff gentilissimo e disponibilissimo. Nara che è la ragazza della colazione, è una persona veramente speciale, attenta alle esigenze di tutti e ultra disponibile per non citare che è sempre sorridente. La struttura dove abbiamo dormito. È molto comoda, pulizie giornaliere e ricambio asciugamani giornaliero. Il receptionist è una persona gentile e disponibile.

Cons:

Nulla

O experiență frumoasă pentru prețul decent.
Pros:

Ca este situată într-o zoana foarte bună și este în apropiere de obiectivele turistice. Mai este un avantaj ca micul dejun s-a luat la un restaurant de lângă (Hotel Adamar) cu o priveliște uimitoare și mâncare foarte buna.

Cons:

Camerele mici comparativ cu cele de pe site. La wi-fi nu am putut să ne conectăm, iar tv nu funcționa și la baie curgea apa de sub ghiuveta:(.

Vastinetta rahalle.
Pros:

Todella avulias ja ystävällinen henkilökunta. Aamiainen joka tarjoillaan viereisessä hotellissa on todella runsas ja hyvä. Aamiaisella on runsaasti paikallisia ruokia ja vaihtuvuutta päivittäin. Meillä oli huone sisäpihan puolelta ja todella hiljainen. Sijainti myös hyvä, kaikki kohteet kävelymatkan päässä.

Viskas buvo puikiai.
Pros:

Čia lankėmės jau antrą kartą, nes viskas atitiko mūsų lūkesčius. Malonus personalas. Puiki strategiškai vieta. Daug kas pasiekiama pėstute. Pusryčiai šalia esančiame viešbutyje, kur nuostabus vaizdas į miestą, aukščiausiame aukšte. Už keleto mėnesių vėl vyksime į Stambulą ir vėl lankysimės čia, nes puikus kainos ir kokybės santykis.

Pros:

Great value for money. Center, key attraction points are nearby - if you're a tourist, it's a strategic location. Comfy bed, good sleep. Clean. Breakfast with a view. I love Istanbul, so I'm a bit biased - but I would stay here again 😊 PS - my room was on the 4th floor with windows to the street. For one person it was just right.

Pros:

Hezký malý hotýlek ve skvělé lokalitě, pár minut na metro i na tramvaj, k Hagia Sofia a do nádherného parku Gulhane, který když projdete tak se dostanete na fantastické místo odkud je nádherný výhled na Bosporský most a evropskou i asijskou část města, velmi milý majitel/recepční a dobrá snídaně v hotelu přes ulici v restauraci v 6. patře s terasou a úchvatným výhledem

Pros:

Skromny, ale czysty obiekt z tradycyjnymi tureckimi akcentami w aranżacji pokojów. Świetna lokalizacja dla zwiedzających historyczne obiekty centrum Stambułu: Hagia Sophia, Pałac Topkapi, Błękitny Meczet, Cysterna Bazyliki, Park Gulhani, brama Wysokiej Porty dosłownie kilka kroków od obiektu. także tradycyjne atrakcje jak hammam czy pokaz tańca derwiszów, dobre restauracje i sklepy do wyboru. Łatwy dojazd także w inne dzielnice miasta. Codzienne sprzątanie. Dużym plusem są śniadania w panoramicznej restauracji w sąsiednim obiekcie: piękne widoki, a same śniadania dobrej jakości.

Cons:

Praktycznie brak kawy/herbaty w pokoju.
