Bellissimo e oltre le aspettative! Istambul è veramente una città affascinante!
Pros:

L'Hotel è piccolo, non molte camere, e molto pulito.
La sua posizione è molto buona per visitare le grandi Moschee (Hagia Sofia e Moscea Blu).
Molto vicino anche al Palazzo di TopKapi e alla Basilica Cisterna.
Molto molto vicino al Gran Bazar.
Molto comoda anche la vicinanza alla metro che permette di collegarsi bene e velocemente a tutta la città. Noi abbiamo usato tantissimo la metro visitando Balat, Fener, Karakoi, Galata.
Con la metro ci siamo anche velocemente collegati al porto di Eminonu dal quale abbiamo preso i traghetti per la parte asiatica (Uskudar e Kadikoi).
Veramente comodo.
Il personale dell’Hotel è gentilissimo e offre sempre ottimi consigli per il soggiorno. Un particolare ringraziamento a Tarik che è stato particolarmente gentile e disponibile per organizzarci tutti i trasferimenti e la crociera sul Bosforo.
Stuttura molto molto consigliata!

Cons:

La colazione è buona, ma migliorerei un po' la disponibilità di cibo internazionale.
La parte turca è ottima.
La macchina del caffè era rotta ed avrebbe fatto molto comodo... :)

Pros:

Locatia

Cons:

-la micul dejun nu am avut cafea pentru ca era defect aparatul ( 3 zile). Ni s-au oferit dosr niste plicuri de cafea in schimb
- serviciul de transfer rezervat prin hotel a fost necorespunzător: mașinile nu aveau conturi de siguranță conforme iar șoferul de la întoarcere a scris mesaje tot drumul

Удобство!
Pros:

Местиположение на хотела!
Отношението и чистотата.
Кафемашината в хотела се развали, но те бяха достатъчно любезни, като ни правеха турско кафе без заплащане. Освен това пристигнахме преди указания час и ни беше предоставена възможност да се настаним в стая, която ни харесва и да закусим без да имаме закуска в цената.

Cons:

Няма такова нещо!

Καλό ξενοδοχείο σε πολύ κοντινή απόσταση από τα μνημεία του Σουλταναχμέτ και από τη στάση του Τραμ 1.
Pros:

Η τοποθεσία, η καθαριότητα, η ευγένεια του προσωπικού, το πρωινό.

Cons:

Το δωμάτιο δεν είχε παντζουρια ή blackout κουρτίνες με αποτέλεσμα το πρώτο φως του ήλιου να πέφτει απευθείας στα κρεβάτια.

Good stay in Istanbul
Pros:

The location was within walking distance of the major sites in Sultanahmet. Trans to elsewhere were a short walk. The staff were attentive.

Cons:

There is no light above the sink, so it was hard to see what I was doing at times. The breakfast seems to be mostly Middle Eastern type foods, but the yogurt and cereal made it acceptable.
