TUTTO SPLENDIDO 🤗

9.0

Un hotel abbastanza centrale, vicino alla linea T1 e soprattutto vicino al centro storico, raggiungibile a piedi. La vista sulla moschea è favolosa! Il personale è veramente gentile e cordiale. Ti accontentano in ogni tua richiesta e soprattutto non ci aspettavamo la sorpresa per il compleanno di mia sorella, con dolce, frutta e the portati in camera con tanto di canzoncina happy birthday. Davvero tutto molto bello!

− Sistemerei solo un pochino la pulizia.

Leider enttäuschend

4.0

Personal war sehr bemüht und hilfsbereit. Lage zentral und nahe an die Sehenswürdigkeiten.

− Alles andere war katastrophal.

Driss · DE · 2026-10-18

nicht empfehlenswert, preiswertere und erheblich bessere Unterkünfte in nächster Umgebung vorhanden

1.0

Service gleich null. Keine Auswahl beim Frühstück, Ei, Fladenbrot, etwas Obst und Gemüse. Klimaanlage nicht regulier bzw. abschaltbar- Starker Kloakengeruch aus dem Bad. Kein Lift, extrem enge Treppen. Farbe und Putz blättert von den Wänden im Treppenhaus.

− Alles ausser der Lage

10.0

Шикарний колорит справжнього Стамбулу, найсмачніші солодощі поряд на базарі, пригощають всім, чай наливають! Історичні зірочки прям за вікном, вид розкішний. Персонал дуже чуйний, привітливий, одразу пригостили Turkish coffee і помістили до часу заселення! Раджу!

Very well-located hotel!

8.0

1 - There were courtesy bottles of water in the room as I came in! 2 - Nurja, the lady at the rooftop restaurant was very kind to me. We could barely communicate but she prepared very good traditional turkish breakfast every day for me! 3 - Location was VERY convenient

− The air-conditioner remote broke the last day, and the room smelled of moist.
