Хороший вариант, если приехал знакомиться с городом
Pros:

Идеальное расположение в самом центре Стамбула - все экскурсии рядом. Очень приятный доброжелательный персонал, наличие парковки, прекрасная веранда на крыше с красивым видом

Cons:

Не очень удобные подушки

Хороший отель с отличным завтраком на тихой улице
Pros:

Расположение рядом с достопримечательностями старого города: Топкапы, Гюльхане, Айясофией, площадью Султанахмет. При этом расположен на тихой улице, на удалении от трамвайных путей и постоянного шума и звона от них. Так как далеко не первый раз в Стамбуле, могу точно сказать, что редко можно найти тихий отель близко к основным достопримечательностям.
Отдельно хочу отметить завтрак, пожалуй, пока лучший из тех, что встречали в отелях Стамбула. Помимо яичниц и стандартного набора, был йогурт (за что отдельное спасибо), сухофрукты, джемы, спелые вкусные фрукты.
Очень приветливые администраторы, ещё и маленький подарочек при выезде подарили 😊
Да, ещё красивая терраса на крыше, вся в зелени и цветах!

Cons:

Небольшие номера, но так везде в Стамбуле. Это не минус, просто будьте готовы.

Merveilleux hôtel, bien situé et très calme
Pros:

Charmant petit hôtel, à 2 pas de la mosquée bleue, dans un quartier calme. Tres bons petit-déjeuners et terrasse splendide ouverte 24h/24. Le personnel était très agréable et nous a donné pleins d'informations pour les visites. Merci aussi pour le petit mot au début du sejour avec l'oeillet ainsi que le cadeau à la fin du séjour ! Je recommende les yeux fermés !

Cons:

Rien.

Pros:

Been to Istanbul many times, and this was for sure the best stay I've had so far. Katelya Hotel will be for sure my future go to place in Istanbul.

Staff were really attentive and friendly from check-in to check-out. Congratulations to the team, keep up the excellent work.

Breakfast was great, with a big selection of local products. Excellent coffee, tea, local cheese, fruits, even honey and freshly made omelets :)

Room was spacious and clean, exactly what you want after a day of exploring.

Location is a plus too. Just 100m from Sultanahmet area, close enough to walk to almost anything.

Highly recommend for anyone visiting Istanbul's old city.

Amazing hotel in Fatih!
Pros:

The hotel location is perfect for sightseeing in the Fatih neighborhood only 10 min walking away from the main attractions but at the same time on quiet street. The room was clean and kept cooled down with the AC on all day. The breakfast was very good and in addition the hotel has a rooftop terrace with beautiful view. Very easy to access with car from the main road with parking space secured in front of the hotel! Everyone from the staff was very kind. Definitely recommend and would book again in future.

Great location, comfortable, good breakfast and beds, amazing staff.
Pros:

The location is great. Not far from the Blue Mosque and other main attractions. A pleasant street. Not far from the Havait bus to the airport.
Beautiful rooftop terrace with the city skyline views
Amazing staff
Clean
Comfortable setup: storage, table, chairs, mini fridge, water bottle filled daily, nice towels, comfortable bed, nice toiletries, etc.
A nice breakfast including some local specialties; the breakfast is served in the basement and has visible ruins of a palace beneath its floors.

Cons:

While the room and the hotel were very clean, it could benefit from a few updates/grout cleaning.
There was noise behind our windows on the ground floor on the first night but I understand the location is considered generally quiet.
Serving breakfast on the rooftop would be much better. I saw at least one hotel at this price range (even considering the deep discount) with nicer facilities and a rooftop breakfast.

Pros:

Un hotel care ne-a plăcut foarte mult, personalul este foarte drăguț și amabil, având grijă să ne asigure un loc de parcare exact lângă locație, micul dejun foarte bun, iar terasa de deasupra hotelului este foarte frumos amenajată și oferă o priveliște superbă către oraș și către mare.

Cons:

Nu am identificat aspecte esențiale care să nu ne fi plăcut.
