Fantastico

10.0

Centralissima posizione SUPER!!! camera spaziosa, bagno grande con tutti i confort. Vista spettacolare. Colazione abbondante. Staff molto cordiale in particolare OMER che si è fatto carico di trasportare tutti i bagagli

Tutto bene ma se devo trovare qualcosa, terzo letto era una poltrona e dunque non comodissimo

La mejor ubicación

8.0

Ubicación perfecta, a metros de Tranvía, Santa Sophia, Mezquita Azul, Basílica Cisterna (al frente) y palacio Topkapi. Buen desayuno y personal muy amable. Especial mención a Ömer.

Lamentablemente nunca nos funcionó el frigobar, a pesar que lo cambiaron (hubo preocupación) pero nunca logró helar.

Erg goed.

8.0

Locatie!!! Top pal naast Aya Sophia en naast tram 1 die erg nuttig is voor vervoer naar andere bezienswaardigheden. Istanbul kaart is een must. Hotel serveert - prijzig!! - ontbijt met veel diverse gerechten [kaas/vlees/fruit etc] en keuzemogelijkheid uit diverse ei varianten. Koffie en thee wordt kosteloos na geserveerd. Men spreekt Engels. Buiten klein terras met prachtig uitzicht en desgewenst voldoende alcoholische dranken naar keuze.

Wiebelige ontbijttafels zijn riskant; even leunen en alles dreigt van tafel te vallen. Hotel entree [heuveltje op] zal bij regen en nat weer voor sommige reizigers problematisch zijn. Onze kamer [28] kon wel een face-lift gebruiken; loszittend behang en weinig stopcontacten. Uitzicht op blinde muur. Hiervoor kamer 35 maar daar wel wat lawaai van tram en kraan die pergolator mistte = natte boel. Verder goed geslapen.

Great location

6.0

Fantastic location, opposite the Basilica Cistern, walking distance to restaurants. Bed and pillows were very comfortable. Staff were helpful. Bfast was good.

Shower leaked, the room phone didn’t work and the TV was having a lot of problems.
