8/10

Great central location with easy access via metro / tram. Walking distance to shopping, tourist attractions and hamam locations. Noise level from street is something only very good sealing of the windows might improve. Friendly and helpful staff with many recommendations for activities
4-night trip

8/10

Good location, noisy with the cars horning. Small rooms.

4/10

On arrival we were held hostage to a 15 minute tour sale before our key was issued. The small room size was what we expected for the 53Euro price, and the bed was made albeit with very worn out sheets with holes. The bathroom however had the last guests soap in the sink and shower, and bare live electric wires dangling over the basin.

Das hotel liegt in einer sehr guten Lage - viele Sehenswürdigkeiten und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind zu Fuß erreichbar. Das personal war sehr nett und freundlich. Die zimmer waren sehr sauber, allerdings bereits etwas in die Jahre gekommen und sehr staubig (wahrscheinlich die Vorhänge). Nachts ist es relativ laut, daher sollte man mit geschlossenem Fenster schlafen. Das Frühstück war gut und ausreichend mit einer tollen Aussicht. Insgesamt ein gutes Mittelklasse Hôtel, was für einen kurztrip völlig ausreichend ist.

Located near the main touristic area .. 3 min walk so not too noisy Staff is friendly and helpful No need to book a walk tour full day in the old city at 75euros if they recommend it it’s not worth it . Just walk to the mosques they’re all free and maybe just buy a online ticket for topkapi palace . This way you will go your own pace Room is clean , nice shower . There’s a mini fridge

Photos mensongères, chambre en ruine, sale, poussière et cheveux au sol, draps sales. Œufs de cafards dans la bouilloire. Aucune isolation et climatisation bruyante. Réceptionniste qui s’est permis de m’envoyer plusieurs messages de drague sur mon portable.
5-night trip

10/10

Враження про помешкання досить добре. 1. Розташування дуже хороше, близько до основних локацій, близько до зупинки трамваю. 2. Досить чисто. Трошки меблі старі, але ліжко зручне. В кімнаті є чайник, але води не було, ходили на рецепцію- без проблем принесли. 3. Сніданок не такий, як на фото, але голодні не були. 4. Персонал привітний, завжди готовий допомогти. 5. Жили в кімнаті на розі двох вулиць, трішки шумно, але не критично. Загалом все сподобалось, сміливо можу рекомендувати цей готель.
