Pros:

Posizione molto comoda per raggiungere a piedi e con i mezzi le principali attrazioni turistiche, sia sulla parte europea che asiatica. Il rooftop ha una vista panoramica sul Corno d'oro.

Cons:

La colazione viene servita a tavola con portate tipiche della tradizione turca. Peccato che sia tutti i giorni la stessa identica e non ci sia possibilità di scelta a buffet o con un menù. Si spreca molto cibo a mio parere.
La nostra stanza aveva problemi di infiltrazione in bagno e dal soffitto gocciolava acqua. Una mattina ci siamo svegliati con il pavimento bagnato, abbiamo segnalato il problema ma non ci hanno cambiato la camera.

Pros:

Amazing check-in service, super friendly and helpful, available 24h which is convenient when I arrived late at night.. Room in a quiet street. Comfy bed, AC, fridge, bathroom utils, elevator.
The design of the room was super cute. It's in a very good location, close to everything and the view from the rooftop is stunning.
Will happily return if I visit Istanbul again.

Cons:

Not related to hotel, but you can hear prayers broadcast through the city at 4am and it can wake you up if you keep windows open. Not the most pleasant if you are a light sleeper and barely fell asleep just to be woken up like that ... 😑
