Pros:

Pretty clean and comfortable. Breakfast is not the worst but products are cheap. Polite and kind staff.

Cons:

There is a lie about view. The view is to the wall AC not working. Sockets are in dangerous condition.

Pros:

Близко к основным достопримечательностям, завтраки вкусные но однообразные, заселили раньше времени, хозяин доброжелательный, недалеко от обстановки хаваист. Мы приехали и утром рано на нем же уехали. Сильных подьемов нет от остановки хаваист

Cons:

Немного чувствовался сырость в комнате

Okay for the price
Pros:

More like a guest house than a hotel, but if you are looking for a cheap accomodation just to sleepover, take a warm shower and have an okay breakfast, this is it. The staff members were polite.
Also the place is just a few minutes walk from Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia and other landmarks.

Cons:

This place should do something about house rules for guests. Last two nights of our stay we had hard time sleeping due to a group of Russian tourists (mostly women) who were very loud late at night and early in the morning - yelling, laughing and banging doors.
Also hygiene could be better as we found black hair both in the bathroom and bedroom.

Básico mas bem localizado
Pros:

A localização é excelente, perto dos principais pontos turísticos. É possível fazer tudo a pé. Local bonito e seguro.

Cons:

Acho que falta mais capricho. Tinha toalha rasgada, no primeiro dia quase não tinha comida no café da manhã e ele é bem fraquinho. A mesma coisa todos os dias.
