Cons:

•We reserved a room with 4 beds, but the room was smaller than it appeared in the pictures.

Отличное соотношение цены и качества
Pros:

Отличный сервис - все мои просьбы, даже немного нестандартные, были удовлетворены. Например, мне нужно было самому готовить в мультиварке в связи с особой безйодовой диетой. Расположение очень удобное - недалеко от больницы, где я проходил лечение. Также рядом куча продуктовых, хозяйственных и прочих магазинов.

Cons:

Санузел и душевая требуют более современного решения.

A fabulous value for those who want to immerse themselves in every day Turkish life.
Pros:

The location was terrific. Right in the heart of everyday life of Istanbul. This is the real Istanbul not the Disney version nor the tourist version. The staff at the White Palace Hotel were absolutely incredible. So helpful, so welcoming, and just a whole lot of fun. It’s a great value for the money. This is not a luxury hotel but it’s a solid, clean, friendly place to stay. I love the little outdoor courtyard with private tables, separated by plants. Each room has a desk, a safe, a refrigerator, flatscreen, TV, and a kettle, I honestly don’t think there’s a better value in town.

Cons:

This is an older property and some things could use a little TLC. The walls are a bit thin and so I could hear my next-door neighbors TV.
