The bathroom never was cleaned. Our bedroom wasn’t ready. We had to move to other bedroom. Nobody was there when we arrived. The stairs are very poorly built, if you go with the elderly it will be very difficult for them to climb. If you go with heavy suitcases you will suffer a lot there. There is no elevator.

Memnuniyetimiz hakkında

Otelde 18 kişi konakladık. Otel hizmetlerini ve otel çalışanları tutumunu çok beğendik. İstanbul maratonu için istanbul daydık ve koşu öncesi söz verdirdiği gibi kahvaltıyı 06:00-06:30 arası hazırladı ve problem yaşamadan maraton transfer otobüslerine yetiştik. Bundan sonraki koşularda ilk tercihimiz bu otel olacak. İlgi ve hassasiyet için teşekkürler

Buen hotel para viajeros

El personal increíble, muy amables y te ayudan, cambie 1 de las habitaciones en mi entrada ya q las 2 habitaciones q reservé no tenían baño privado y pague por ello 50€ de más, las escaleras no son muy cómodas para personas mayores ya q son altas, estrechas y en espiral, en toda la semana en las 2 habitaciones no entraron a limpiar y nosotros cambiábamos las sábanas y toallas, salvo esto las vistas de las terrazas espectaculares de la ciudad y Sultanahmet, la mejor zona de todo el centro ya todo esta muy muy cerca, en una semana solo cogimos el transporte 1 vez, gestionaron el transporte del aeropuerto al hotel y la vuelta y muy cómodo, el desayuno me gustó mucho, aunque algún dulce faltaría pero igualmente muy bueno, el personal lo mejor, muy amables, simpáticos y atentos.

Bastante bueno!

El hotel es bastante lindo, tiene su propio restaurante y una terraza increíble, me quede en una habitación privada con baño y estuvo vatsante bien, cómoda y limpia, el acceso a las habitaciones no es muy cómodo ya que son grandes escalones en un pasillo muy estrello, así que no lo recomiendo para personas de edad o personas con discapacidad. Por todo lo demás estuvo muy bien la estadía, la ubicación es estupenda, a solo unos pasos de el bazar y a unas cuantas cuadras de la mesquita! Todo estaba limpio y la atención fue buena, sin embargo el desayuno podría mejorar, tiene poca variedad, unas cuantas verduras, pan y cereal! No obstante volvería a hospedarme ahí, muy buena relación precio/ beneficio
