Good place

This hotel had positives and negatives. WiFi was weak. Staff was very friendly. We didn’t like elevator noise. Breakfast was OK but nothing to write home about. BUT: it was clean. Beds were comfy. Staff were friendly. And you could not ask for a better location. We added an additional night so obviously could not have been bad. Taxi can’t get you all the way to the hotel. The location was worth all the negatives for us. If we return we will either stay here again or one of the others really close to here. Loved Istanbul very much.

Not an easy hotel to stay at if you want the taxi to drive you to the doorstep, but it's close to the blue mosk an many restaurants and the bazar, so it's a great place to stay if you want something cheap or just for a short stay.

From one point of view, location is excellent - it is in the very center, you can walk to all historic places. From another, it is not reachable by car, so a cab driver left us far from the place as the streets are closed for cars. The same when we were leaving for the airport, the transfer was organized by the hotel but still we had to walk to another street when the car could come. The rooms are tiny and the bathroom stinks, as the building is very old. They tried to renovate it but they could have done less rooms but make them larger and with real windows and not the thing they made. When the hotel staff organized the transfer to airport for us, they charged is $50 which is more or less a normal price there and we agreed, but they joined us and another family in the same, without even asking us, and when we complained they gave us back only $10. In general, be very careful with money there, as people try to cheat you.

夜に到着して、振り返った食堂からの眺めが最高過ぎて感動した！目の前にブルーモスクがライトアップされている。こんなベストポジションは滅多にないと思う。アヤソフィヤはほぼ見えない。お部屋はエコノミーツインタイプでスーツケースを広げるのもままならない狭さに小さいベットだけどこの眺めの為に泊まるのもあり！ドライヤーもある。坂の街イスタンブールで空港からのバスがすぐ目の前の広場を抜けた所に発着するので水平移動出来てスーツケースがあったのでとても便利。ホテルの人はフレンドリー。チェックアウト後に荷物も預かってくれて大変助かった。2階のロビーで休ませてくれたて荷物の整理が出来たのも良かった。

Bom hotel e localização

Quarto bem arumado, chuveiro bom, rooupa de cama e banho ok. Funcionários um pouco dispersos. Café da manhã apesar de servido em um local com uma boa vista não foi adequado, sempre falava alguma coisa, inclusive fruta só foi servida no primeiro dia e o serviço de frios não era reposto, muitas vezes ficávamos sem opção.
