Pros:

L’accueil

Cons:

Chambre avec peu d’espace pas agréable et le lit inconfortable : plusieurs réveil dans la nuit répétés pendant le séjour. Nous avons loué dans un autre hôtel dans Istanbul les jours suivants nos vacances.

Tutto da rivedere
Pros:

La possibilità di poter prendere dell'acqua calda per un tè a qualsiasi ora :-D

Cons:

Pulizia inesistente. In una settimana mai un cambio di asciugamani o di biancheria del letto (vi era solo un copri materasso e un copripiumino vuoto usato come lenzuolo e unica copertura notturna). Bagno appena accettabile. Sensazione generale non proprio di igiene.
Io solitamente non faccio recensioni negative. Questa non lo è in senso completo, seppure la struttura non abbia soddisfatto le mie semplici aspettative.

Perfect location perfect value of money, just fix these little things and İ recommend to all this hotel amazing
Pros:

Location of the hotel was perfect 100-200m to Sultanahmet tram station, also staff was super good especially the guy who works in first shifts dont know the name was very kind, they have lovely simple breakfast.

Cons:

Firstly electricity in first day went off so that can happen to anybody but their aggregator was not fast functionally İ hope they fix it faster, and my bed İ mean İ had double bed was not one but they were two single beds and İ sometimes couldnt sleep well because of the middle of two beds!

EXCELENTE CUSTO BENEFICIO
Pros:

Excelente localização, perto de todos os principais pontos turisticos.

Fácil de localizar, com ponto de ônibus/metro próximos.

Região bem tranquila e segura, com diversos restaurantes próximos.

Cons:

O quarto é ligeiramente pequeno, mas nada que incomode diante do custo benefício, bem como se imaginar que vai passar a maior parte do tempo aproveitando os pontos turisticos.
