Alles is vervelend

Alles viel erg tegen. Vooral de mensen. De prachtige schoonheid en grootsheid van Istanbul werden helaas overschaduwd door het gedrag van de mensen.

Thank you to Boutaina , she is the best. she helped us sp much if not for her we would of left the hotel. The location is also very good.

The hotel is in real need for renovation.

Un manque de rigueur

6.0

Lieu idéalement placé pour faire les visites à pied et le bâtiment historique est très beau plein de charme

L'insonorisation est inexistant, le personnel du ménage n'est pas à la hauteur d'un 5 étoiles, ex chaussettes retrouvé dans l'armoire et poussière, salle de bain pas de brosse pour les WC pas de verres pour se rincer la bouche après avoir brossé les dents, réussi à avoir la brosse à wc après deux demande, manque d'un jeux de serviette la dernière nuit, copeaux de rouille sous le lavabo....

The location is perfect, it's near to everything. Restaurant, cafe and transfer to everywhere.

Actually the hotel doesn't mach the money i paid, old rooms and cleaning is not good. The AC can't be adjusted by yourself, if i turn it off it will be hot and if I turn it on it will be cold.

Great location and has a pool

Very friendly staff and great location. Beautiful entrance and main hall. Was nice with the pool for our daughter.

Hotel rooms are dated and could do with some refurbishment
