Goede prijskwaliteit, prima locatie en op 20 minuten lopen van Sulthanamet. Ik geef het een 7, maar met iets meer vriend
Pros:

Locatie in zeer toeristisch gedeelte (Kumkapi), veel restaurantjes, winkeltjes en “bedrijvigheid” op straat. Als je een rustige plek zoekt dan is dit geen geschikte plek.
Eenvoudige kamer maar wel met airco, koelkastje en waterkoker + thee / koffie 👍

Cons:

Jonge receptionist was vriendelijk maar oudere man zei niks. Ook viel er niet te praten over het feit dat ik alleen kwam ipv 2. Dus niet bijzonder flexibel of klantvriendelijk. Ontbijt was ok maar veel van hetzelfde. Geen yoghurt bijv. Of ander fruit dan watermeloen. Roerei, koffie en cake was top!

干净卫生早餐好，城铁两分钟内。
Pros:

酒店式的管理，很干净，每天都打扫整理房间，床品好，舒适，空调好，热水好，早餐好，每天基本一样的种类。供电系统好，遇到片区停电自动就转成发电了，一秒就恢复供电。楼下多家餐馆方便。交通要利用酒店2分钟内的最近的粉色线，可以联通到主要景点的其他线路。

Cons:

对连续多天住宿的人来说，早餐能变换种类更好。

Amazing stay
Pros:

The breakfast here is amazing, the staff are professional, friendly and polite, and the location is amazing. Everything is within walking distance with the Bosporus only a short walk away. I'd avoid the restaurants nearby which are tourist traps and venture to the local eateries which are a short walk away. There is a place called Tado which is nearby and they sell the bet Baklawa money can buy, for an amazing price.

Cons:

There isn't anything wrong with the hotel in my opinion. This is the second time I have stayed here and it won't be the last. The breakfast is amazing, with a stunning view. The rooms are well kept and it is amazing value for money.
