I don't recommend checking in unless you want to be disappointed.
Pros:

The staff was good and helpful.The hotel's location is very convenient. Close to the metro and stations.

Cons:

The room didn't live up to expectations. The photo on Booking.com looked nice and clean, but in real life it was completely different. There was someone else's hair in the bathroom and in the nightstand. The sausage and cheese smelled sour. The fruit and baked goods weren't fresh either.

Pros:

Atmosfera i ljudi koji rade tu. Zaista je bilo lijepo provesti nekoliko dana tu. Lokacija odlicna, kvart je pomalo bučan za one koji žele mir. Meni je super bilo.
Preporuka da ga rado posjetite.

Good location, and price is good. Staff is friendly and helpful. I am sharing this critique not to be overly harsh, but
Pros:

The location is great in my opinion. It is located right next to Gülhane Park and Sirkeci station, meaning Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, and the Masri Bazaar are all within short walking distance. It is an ideal base for exploring the historical center. Breakfast is fine - hot, fresh made.

Cons:

The hotel has deteriorated since my last stay. The receptionist was asleep on the lobby sofa at check-in, leaving guests stranded. The first room we got had dead AC and dangerous exposed wiring. After paying for an upgrade, the second room had visible black mold on the bathroom ceiling, a towel rack that fell off the wall at a touch, and old trash (sandals and hygiene products) left under the bed from previous guests. Maintenance and housekeeping are completely neglected.

Des merveilles à voir et le ferry pour aller jusqu'à la mer noire, superbe
Pros:

Séjour très plaisant, personnel gentil et serviable et petit déjeuner très complet avec beaucoup de choix. Cet hôtel est super bien situé pour les visites et le tram n°1 qui vous emmène vers tous les endroits à visiter. Rue très animée mais pas dérangeant et sympa de regarder la vie de cette rue.

Cons:

La fuite dans la salle de bain, et les prises électriques il faudra envisager certains petits travaux

Das Zimmer ist total schlecht, die Toilette eine Katastrophe, einfach nur schlecht. Jetzt habe ich a
Pros:

Bislang war es eher enttäuschend, nur die Lage war gut, das Zimmer hatte kein Fenster

Cons:

Es wäre gut, wenn Sie solche Zimmer nicht anbieten würden. Für so teure Zimmer kassieren Sie Geld und ich bekomme ein schlechtes Zimmer.

Top Lage für einen Kurztrip zu empfehlen!
Pros:

Die Lage ist top! In 5 Minuten ist die Straßenbahn zu erreichen. In 8-10 Minuten fusslaufig ist die Fähre Eminönü iskele zu erreichen. İn unmittelbarer Nähe sind viele Restaurants, Apotheken, Cafés und alles was man braucht zu finden.
Das Hotel ist nicht allzu groß, sodass man Gefühl hatte, dass es überfüllt ist.

Cons:

Es ist nicht allzu modern. Der Empfang Bereich ist sehr schön. Die Räume sind akzeptabel von der Größe, aber es könnte noch etwas größer sein. Die Ausstattung ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen. Aber es war alles hygienisch. Die Auswahl an Frühstück fand ich leider etwas mager.
