Не шумный отель в самом туристическом месте Фатиха.
Pros:

Расположение и удобство заселения большой плюс. Дружелюбный персонал. Цена. Отель находится на одной из самых туристических и колоритных улиц фатиха, у самого входа в парк гульханы. Но благодаря тому, что он находится в самом конце этой улицы, эта часть не такая шумная, как все остальные. В итоге отель стоит в самом живом и туристическом месте, при этом в нем не так шумно, как в остальных отелях. По-моему, идеальное сочетание в этом районе.

Cons:

Хочется доработать концепцию первого этажа и ресепшена в плане дизайна и уюта. Не хватило тонкого покрывала в номере 👉👈

Все отлично
Pros:

Отличное соотношение цена и качество, ожидать много не стоит, но за свои день все просто супер! Номера чистые, хоть и номерной фонд и старый, нас это не смущало совсем, тк цель поездки-посмотреть Стамбул. Завтрак был бесплатный в подарок, спасибо огромное украинке Виктории, она помогала нам и с такси, и в целом с любыми вопросами.

Pros:

Very good location, next to Gulhane park, walkable distance to Hagia Sophia and Sultan Ahmet mosque (The blue mosque), many restaurants nearby as well. Good hotel service, nice and helpful employees.

Cons:

It was a little bit noisy from outside. But yet I was able to sleep at night and afternoon... maybe because I was tired. 😌😴
