- Nuestra estancia en este hotel fue pésima. Sufrieron una avería eléctrica en varias instalaciones y, en lugar de gestionarlo adecuadamente o trasladarnos a otra habitación, nos dejaron 6 horas en completa oscuridad. Cada vez que preguntábamos en recepción, nos daban largas diciendo que “en una hora más” se solucionaría. Cuando finalmente hablé con el manager, su actitud fue muy borde y maleducada. Solo gracias a Abdullah, la única persona amable en todo el hotel, nos cambiaron de habitación tarde por la noche. Días después recibí la devolución de la reserva, pero ahora me piden que devuelva una parte, lo cual me parece poco elegante y una gestión pésima con el cliente. Entiendo que los problemas eléctricos pueden ocurrir, pero lo verdaderamente inaceptable fue la forma en que nos trataron. Definitivamente no recomiendo hospedarse en este hostal.

+ The location was ok. To be honest anywhere in the old city you can’t go wrong with the location. It’s perfect anywhere you go. This place isn’t good.

- They overcharged me for the airport shuttle and the communication was terrible. The staff seemed disorganized and unprofessional, and it felt like they were trying to rip me off. They kept insisting I hadn’t paid for my room, but when I checked my credit card statement, the payment had already gone through. I felt very uncomfortable dealing with them. Please avoid this place.

- I booked a room at this hostel but the room I paid for has two beds and not a double bed and does not correspond at all to the photos in my booking. I feel completely deceived and would like a refund. In addition, there is no hot water in the bathroom, the towels are very small, more like face towels and the room does not have blackout blinds for the night, only one window. Terrible and unacceptable service. A disgrace! After asking for the complaints book, which they didn't know what it was, I asked if it was necessary to call the police. The hotel owner showed up and gave us the room that was most similar to the one we had booked. However, the worst was yet to come. The room had cockroaches. We killed two in 24 hours. I should also mention that the room did not have the dimensions described in the advertisement. breakfast consists of olives, bread, butter, cheese and watermelon. there are two juices, coffee and milk I do not recommend that you stay at this place!

+ 地理位置不行,要大斜路走落去,拖着行李十分辛苦

- 酒店大堂沒有冷氣, 很熱。入住1小時後,大概下都係午3點半整個酒店突然停電,沒有冷氣,沒有燈,手機也不能充電。直到明天早上7點半才有電,然後9點半又沒有電了,直到我們離開也沒有電。在我們入住期間只有3小時有電供應,酒店房間還發現蟲子,很差的入住體驗。

+ Location is really good. You do not even need to use a transport in order to reach the most popular touristic districts and places. Hotel staff is very gentle and helpful. Breakfast is also good - variety of meals and desserts.

- The building that this hotel is located in - looks like it is quite old, because the noise isolation is a complete HORROR. If you expect that you will have a good sleep without any background noises disturbing you - then do not go to this hotel. You will hear everything - noise on the street, noise from your neighbors. We lived on 1st floor and every single day we heard a lot of noise from 3rd floor!!! There is a dining room on the 3rd floor and even if you live on the 1st floor - you will hear that horrific scratch made by chair legs EVERY SINGLE MORNING from 5 to 10 AM.

+ Безлимитный кофе и живописный вид с террасы. Доброжелательные соседи. Центр старого города.

- В ванной в душе был забит слив и вода не смывалась. Сильный запах. Мусор не убирался и не было полотенец для пола и рук. Не работал кондиционер. Много пыли, слишком маленькая комната.

Translated to English

Unlimited coffee and picturesque view from the terrace. kind neighbors. center of the old town. in the bathroom the shower was clogged with plumbing and the water wouldn't wash out. strong smell. garbage was not washed and there were no towels for the floor and hands. no air conditioning. a lot of dust, too small room.

+ Mostly the breakfast lady on the terrace, also the breakfast is quite little for the value of the stay.

- Room is too small to have 6 beds in it plus it becomes very hard to breathe fresh air inside the room with other people inside. No toilet paper was available!

+ L'emplacement est idéal pour visiter le vieil Istanbul. De plus, l'hôtel est situé dans une petite ruelle calme. Le personnel est agréable, accueillant et sympathique.

- La propreté n'a pas été portée aux détails (plaque de poussière sur l'étendoir à serviettes, poils de barbe dans le tiroir de l'évier, cheveux dans le lit, tâches dans le frigo, reste de selle au fond des toilettes...). Le petit-déjeuner n'est pas un buffet mais un service sous forme de plats. Les aliments ne peuvent plaire à tout le monde et entraînent du gâchis. De plus, le gérant de la salle nous incitait à finir nos assiettes, sans comprendre le véritable problème.

+ スタッフがフレンドリーでした。危険や客引きのおおいイスタンブールですが、ここでは唯一リラックスすることができました。朝食も量が多かったですし、ウォーターサーバーもありがたかったです。

- お風呂とトイレが一緒な上、お風呂は一つしかないので誰かがお風呂を使っていたりトイレを長時間使っていると何もできないことです。トイレは地下にもう一つありますが、たまに紙がないことがあるので注意してください。スタッフに言えばもちろん新しいものをくれます。

Translated to English

The staff was friendly. ‒ It was a good Istanbul for the danger and the commute, but it was the only place I could relax. ‒ Breakfast was plentiful and I wanted a water server. ‒ The bath and toilet were together, there was only one bath, so there was nothing you could do if someone was taking a bath or using the toilet for a long time. ‒ The toilet was in the basement, but there was another one, but sometimes there was no paper, so please be careful. ‒ Of course, if the staff asked, t...

+ Lo mejor del alojamiento es su ubicación en el casco histórico de la ciudad a 5 minutos caminando de la mezquita azul y Santa Sofía. El personal es sumamente amable: destaco a Murat de recepción y a Madre e Hija que preparaban el desayuno todas las mañanas, realmente una amabilidad increíble. Desde el lugar de desayuno se tiene una vista preciosa hacia el Bósforo. La habitación era suficiente y la cama cómoda para 2 personas

- Poco espacio para poder abrir las maletas, olor a desagüe desde el baño en ocasiones. Solo hicieron el aseo una vez.

+ Bellissima posizione, molto vicino ai principali monumenti della zona. La Moschea blù è lì dietro, ma l'hotel è calmo e tranquillo, si sente il muezzin ma non dà fastidio. Lo staff, guidato dal bravissimo Osman, è gentile, preciso e sempre presente e disponibile a tutte le info. Osman è stato perfetto! La colazione mattutina, sempre col sorriso di cuoche e cameriere, è abbondante e varia e....si mangia col panorama del Bosforo negli occhi!

- Camere piccoline, ma tutto il necessario c'è!

+ It's a pleasant stay. The location is great, and they offer free drinking water for everyone. It's easy to find a restaurant or go anywhere in Seoul. I would recommend it to anyone who has a tight budget and needs a great location.

- Although the bed and room are small, you pay for what you get. This is reasonable.
