Lovely place to stay in Sultanahmet

8.0

Lovely, helpful staff, wonderful breakfasts, very comfortable beds, extremely close to sights in Sultanahmet but quiet and safe, well worth the price.

− Facility is a tiny bit rundown, but it's part of the ambiance.

Среднестатистический номер старого города Стамбула. Расположение отеля очень удобно, можно дойди пешком 😍

Вид на стамбульские улицы

− Номера немного тесноваты, если у вас большой багаж практический все будет лежать также в чемодане.

Cena.

− W opisie pokoju jest widok na miasto - był na ścianę sąsiedniego budynku w odległości myślę 3m! Nie wiem skąd takie zachwyty nad śniadaniem - byliśmy kilka razy w Turcji i to śniadanie nie porywało.
