good value for money
Pros:

Staff was very nice and helpful

Cons:

room is too small for the big bed, it felt overcrowded, the furniture (the chair) is overused old and nearly damaged. Cleanliness could be improved.

Convenient and welcoming~
Pros:

I loved how close it was to the blue mosque and it very near public transport, the bust stop was 4 minutes away so it was very helpful when getting dropped off from the airport by the shuttle. The staff was super friendly and nice, I was on the ground floor across the reception and I always popped in to ask for something or advise which was given warmly, the receptionist was very friendly and accommodating!

Cons:

The ground floor can get quite stuffy and a bit misty but it didn’t really bother me for the price and location, just let it air out a bit and it was fine.

Pros:

Удобно място, любезен персонал. Момчето ни обясни какво да посетим, къде да отидем, както и как да използваме градския транспорт, за което сме му много благодарни. Спести ни доста губене на време с колата в трафика, имахме доста повече време за разходки. Мястото е близо до спирки на градския транспорт, ресторанти, кафенета, магазин. Има предвидени места за паркиране точно пред хотела.

O opțiune foarte bună de cazare, fiind aproape de obiective, dar și într-o zonă liniștitiă
Pros:

Personalul a fost foarte amabil, dornic ca cei cazați să se simtă bine.
Loc de parcare gratuit în fața proprietății, nu este ideal, acesta fiind pe marginea străzii, dar având în vedere aglomerația din zonă, este un mare plus pentru cine vine cu mașina.
Hotelul este ralativ aproape de Moscheea Albastră (10 minute de mers relaxat), iar în zonă sunt magazine, terase, restaurante etc.

Cons:

Aici povestea se complică puțin deoarece hotelul listează camerele pe mai multe platforme. Eu am avut neplăcerea ca la momentul ajungerii la proprietate, să mi se spună că nu-mi pot da camera pe care am rezervat-o din cauză că aceasta a fost ocupată de un alt client venit de pe o altă platformă. După aproape 40 de minute de negocieri, am obținut o altă cameră (superioară ca facilități), dar la un alt hotel aflat în zonă (probabil patronul este comun), iar mașina au acceptat să o las la hotelul la care am făcut rezervarea, cel de-al doilea neavând locuri de parcare.
Una peste alta am beneficiat de o cameră mai bună la aceeași bani, dar probabil dacă nu spuneam că le fac reclamație la Booking, nu primeam ceva mai bun, inițial dorind să ne ofere o cameră la un demisol pe care am refuzat-o.

Pros:

The host was really trying to help us, we arrived really early and he prepared our room a few hours earlier.
The location of the hotel is also really good, just a 5-10 minute walk from the blue mosque.

Buena relación calidad-precio pero buscaría mejor la próxima vez
Pros:

Buena ubicación y buen precio

Cons:

Demasiado pequeño, no se aprecia bien en fotos. Nos dieron la planta baja y olía mucho a humedad, a parte de haber muchos mosquitos de humedad
