Close to major attentions. Nice breakfast. Soundproofing is not good. No coffee maker.
Hôtel très bien placé, a proximité de la mosquée bleue, de Sainte Sophie, du tramway.... Notre chambre familiale était très propre, le ménage est fait tous les jours. Le petit déjeuner est convenable pour bien commencer la journée. Le personnel est très prévenant.
Recensioni troppo positive per questa struttura. La camera in cui ho alloggiato era a piano terra e si affacciava sulla strada. Insonorizzazione inesistente, sia di notte che di mattina si sentivano i rumori dall’esterno. La camera era piccolissima, si faceva fatica a muoversi. La colazione scarsissima, poca scelta c’era. L’unica nota positiva il personale e la posizione.
Personal war super nett und hilfsbereit.
Die Lage ist auch top. In 3min ist man schon bei der Hagia Sophia.
Das Zimmer war einfach sehr kalt.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut und grosse Auswahl.
Sehr gutes Hotel mit perfekter Lage. Die Hagia Sofia ist zu Fuß schnell erreichbar. Das Frühstück ist wirklich toll, es gibt eine große Auswahl an unterschiedlichen Spezialitäten. Die Zimmer sind sauber und die Betten bequem ;) Der Service ist super, total freundliches und aufmerksames Personal. Wirklich empfehlenswert!
The room was so small, I can’t even have some space for my luggage.
The view of the restaurant was very different than the picture. The restaurant have a view on old city (not nice at all ) .
Considering location, service, and conditions, I definitely recommend it. Breakfast was really good accompanied by the sea view. The hotel is clean and well maintained.
