TOP LAGE!!!

Eine bessere Lage kann man einfach nicht haben. Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß oder mit der Bahn (unmittelbar zu Fuß ) sehr gut erreichbar. Zimmer sind klein und einfach ausgestattet. Man sollte kein Luxus erwartet. Allerdings sind die gepflegt und das Personal ist sehr hilfsbereit und zuvorkommend. Es wird fließend englisch gesprochen, somit hat man keine kommunikationsschwierigkeiten. Der Preis war zudem auch unschlagbar: 119€ für 6 Tage für 2 Erwachsene. Fazit: wer nicht so viel wert auf Lusxus legt und auf eine Zentrale Lage wert legt, dann ist er hier richtig

Das hotel ist zentral jedoch die ausstattung sehr schlecht. Matraze hart, hatte jeden tag fette Muskelkater, internet hat einen schlechten empfang. Hotel ist NICHT EMPFEHLENSWERT.

Buena ubicación pero estado mejorable

La ubicación es excelente y se notaba que habían reformado las habitaciones pero solo muy superficialmente. Por ejemplo, los enchufes daban miedo y la junta de la bañera estaba llena de moho, al igual que el respiradero del baño. La manta que había puesta era demasiado corta para la cama y el personal que había por la noche no supo darnos otra, así que pasamos frío. Y lo peor el desayuno, era malísimo y caro. En resumen, creo que se pueden encontrar opciones más interesantes.

Location:A+. Everything else: get what you pay for

The location can't be better. Close to the main historic sites and metro station. The blue mosque is across the street. And Haiga sophia, Topkapi are at walking distance. The hotel is small and so is the room. You basically get what you pay for. Being alone, the size of the room didn't bother me.

Bon séjour

L'emplacement est super juste a côté de la mosquée bleue. Points négatifs: la taille de la chambre assez petite, matelats pas confortables (en mettant une couette par dessus c'était beaucoup mieux), vu côté cour donnait sur un chantier et peu lumineux, linge de lit et serviettes troués. Sinon le gérant était super sympa et disponible et les points négatifs ne nous ont pas empêché de passer un très bon séjour. Il ne faut pas oublier que c'est la vieille ville donc immeubles et pièces anciennes et petites donc aucun regret.

Great Location, Nice People OK rooms.

It is located within walking distance of main attractions of Istanbul with easy transport access to other parts of the city. Hotel staff is friendly and cooperative. Although the breakfast was not included, manager offered me a complimentary one. Rooms are small and OK. But you will spend only few hours there just to sleep so its fine.Overall a very good experience.

God belligenhed og rent hotel

Super belligenhed ved siden af Den Blå Moske. Udsigt over Bosporus var fantastisk om morgenen. Hotellet er lille og man kan derfor høre meget fra de andre værelser/køkken men det er ikke slemt. Det er rent, men der er maling som er afskallet og fugt spor efter a/c. Hvis man har stor bagage med skal man op igennem en lille trappe, men man får hvad man betaler for. Alt i alt var vi tilfredse og glæde.

Matratzen sehr schlecht, Schimmel,Staub, unsicher!

Der Federkern sticht von unten, es dauert ewig bis man die richtige Schlafposition gefunden hat so, dass es "weniger weh tut", unruhiger Schlaf dadurch. Die Balkontür konnte man nicht abschließen. Jede Menge Schimmel im Bad und Staub im Hotelzimmer. Die Fenster wurden seit Monaten (!!!) nicht geputzt. Die Lage ist aber TOP, direkt hinter der blauen Moschee. Personal SEHR freundlich.

Location, location, location!

Small and cozy hotel, right beside the blue mousqe. Needs a little TLC, but only if you're super picky. Clean bed sheets, clean towels every day - the bed was made every day. The only we thing that some may find problematic, is you can hear absolutely everything in the hotel. Super friendly, relaxed and very helpfull staff - we felt at home immediately. Would choose it again if we went for a second trip.

Avevamo prenotato tramite Expedia 4 notti presso questo hotel ma una volta arrivati siamo stati "ricollocati" presso un'altro hotel vicino (hotel Ararat ). Abbiamo chiesto spiegazioni e ci è stato detto che i due hotel fanno parte della stessa catena e sono equivalenti, cosa assolutamente non vera e facilmente verificabile guardando le foto su internet. Per noi fondamentale era un bagno spazioso e con doccia chiusa, motivo per cui avevamo scelto l'arasta hotel, ci siamo invece ritrovati un bagno minuscolo con doccia senza piatto ne tenda, semplicemente un rubinetto attaccato al muro. La camera era piccola, senza nessun tipo di armadio.

Situation privilégiée, aucun confort

La seule avantage de cet hôtel est sa situation, le confort est inexistant, ils coupent l'électricité la nuit (ou panne de courant?) donc pas de chauffage, pas possible de charger les appareils, pas d'eau chaude, difficile de se déplacer la nuit. Notre chambre (standard) était minuscule (on peut difficilement se déplacer car le lit prend la presque totalité de la chambre). On voyait les ressorts à travers le matelas et on les sentait aussi! on a du y ajouter des couches pour avoir moins mal au dos. le chauffage était situé en tête de lit donc, quand il marchait la chaleur était très désagréable. L'eau coulait des wc en permanence.
