Muy recomendado para ver la ciudad
Pros:

Muy bien ubicado, en zona de hoteles por lo que es muy seguro andar por la calle. A 3 minutos de las mezquitas principales de Estambul. El personal fue super amable y atento. Las instalaciones están bien para ir a dormir.

Cons:

Desayuno poco adaptado para alergias.
Muebles algo antiguos y paredes con grietas.

Comfort and hospitality in the heart of the tourist area
Pros:

This is a welcoming hotel with comfortable beds, a traditional Turkish breakfast spread, attentive and friendly staff, and a perfect location for exploring the major attractions. We really enjoyed our stay. Our rooms had aircon and fridges for cold drinks and became an oasis of peace and cool when outside was hot and bustling.

Cons:

Better coffee at breakfast would be a significant plus. The coffee machine does not make great coffee so we tended to go out and buy our own from one of the coffee shops just downstairs.

Superbe, j’y retournerai très bon rapport qualité prix
Pros:

L’emplacement, le personnel et un grand merci à EMRE pour sa gentillesse , sa disponibilité pour aider.

Cons:

Le petit déjeuner, il y a ce qu’il faut, mais avec des œufs aux plats, des œufs brouillés avec un des saucisses grillées ça serait parfait.

Posizione fantastica e personale gentilissimo
Pros:

La struttura, anche se molto semplice (ma visto il prezzo, ci sta), è situata in una posizione fantastica ed il personale è di una gentilezza e disponibilità rara, loro hanno fatto la differenza.

Cons:

Purtroppo la colazione non era di mio gusto, avrei preferito più prodotti internazionali o dolci.
