이스탄불 올드타운과 근접한 위치여서 관광하기 좋습니다. 문제는 숙소 내에 물곰팡이 냄새가 심하다는 것입니다. 냄새에 민감하신 분은 곤란할 듯 싶습니다. 주변에 밥 먹고, 차 마시고, 눈요기할 것들은 많습니다. 트램 역도 걸어서 7~10분 거리에 있어서 좋았습니다.

Et godt alternativ.

Hotellet ligger meget godt plassert. Det har meget vennlig betjening og er rett ved severdigheter og mange restauranter. Standarden er bra, men litt slitt. Nettet fungerer bra. Det er noe trafikk-støy, men akseptabelt. Dette er et godt alternativ for de som reiser til Istanbul og vil få med deg ting uten å måtte betale alt for mye.

Nao recomendo!!

As fotos nao dizem nada sobre o local. Estavamos em lua de mel, reservamos baseado em avaliacoes de dois anos atras e nos surpreendemos negativamente. O hotel cheira a mofo, super desagradavel e nao tinha nem cafe da manha. Foi bastante decepcionante! O atendimento foi atencioso e a localizacao é excelente, os unicos dois pontos positivos.

Grim lugt på gangene og væggelus

Værelser er gode, men der er en grim lugt i hotellet: på gangene og på badeværelset, men ikke værelserne. Fik først værelse i stuen, men der var væggelus: fandt 3 indenfor få minutter, kun en halv time efter vi var flyttet ind. Fik straks andet værelse, uden væggelus, men så to kakkerlakker i løbet af opholdet. Køleskabet køler ikke meget. Der tales flydende engelsk i receptionen, og de er hjælpsomme, men forstod ikke rigtigt problemet med at finde morgenmad. Inden for 5 minutter af 2 historiske moskeer: en af Sinan, og en konverteret kirke fra 536.

It was okay

The staff was friendly and very helpful. This hotel is a little older, needs a little updating paint and furniture. Could be a little cleaner, and there were four to five insects in my room. Oh and part of my shower door was missing.

Great location in very close proximity to Sultanahmet & Hagia Sophia Mosque. Very clean. Worth noting there is no restaurant so breakfast is not provided. I thought breakfast was included when booked but there are good food options in nearby.

I felt like i was camping in Istanbul. The bed was rock hard and the pillow not much softer. And, as the water heater was broken, all showers were done with cool water. It does wake you up, but not what i was looking for. It took five days of our six day stay to get hot water. Istanbul was great, but i would skip the hotel.

受付のスタッフが親切で感じが良かったです。空港までのタクシーも問題なく手配してくれ、出発時間なども気にかけてくださいました。 設備は古く、一部壊れている箇所がありますが、機能はします。バスルームのシャワードアが壊れていましたが一応閉められます。そもそもこの手のドアは壊れやすいようです。 交通量の多い通りに面しているので、朝早くから騒がしいですが、肝心の23時〜6時くらいまでは特に音が気にならず、ちゃんと眠れました。

Room stubo of mould and we eventually started to have breathing difficulties in tie property. The next day all of us were ill. Were were given a refund for the remainder of our night but this ruined our stay in istanbul. We has a 1 year old infant with us. It is very irresponsible to gove a room in this condition to anyone, yet alone a family with a child. There was also a thick layer of dust above the ac, lighting and very dirty rug in the room. We eventually found another property across the road that was both cheaper and much cleaner.

Keine Empfehlung für dieses Hotel!!!… Personal ist freundlich und höflich aber das Zimmer war dreckig vom vorherigen Hotelgast. Es wurde erst am dritten Tag nach Aufforderung das Zimmer sauber gemacht, die Putzkraft hat sich nicht sonderlich bemüht, gestaubsaugt wurde nicht ganz geschweige vom wischen oder das Badezimmer halbwegs in Ordnung bringen war nicht der Fall. Bett dreckig und fleckig, der Boden und der Teppich so ekelhaft das wir uns nicht getraut haben da mit socken zu laufen. Badezimmer extrem dreckig, fleckig und verschimmelt. Die Toilette war ab dem dritten Tag verstopft. Wir haben das Personal darauf aufmerksam gemacht dabei wurden wir erstmal informiert wie das Klo funktioniert und das es unser Fehler war. Das Klo funktionierte bis zur Abreise NICHT. Die Gegend war sehr laut und der Geruch war extrem widerlich wenn das Fenster offen war da ein Müllcontainer vor dem Balkon stand. Klimaanlage sehr laut die Balkontür ging schwer wieder zu. Alles in einem keine Empfehlung für diese Hotel und nicht für diesen Preis da gibt es schönere und sauberere Hotels direkt in der Nähe.-1 Stern
