Разположението на хотела е на около 17-18 минути от Египетския обелиск на Хиподрума. Закуската беше много добра. В хотела е чисто, ново обзавеждане. Банята е нормална като размери. Паркингът е до самия хотел и е на цена 230 TL за денонощие, плаща се кеш. Няма къде да се паркира безплатно.

Sam hotel kao hotel je odličan. Za svaku preporuku. Odličan izbor za uložen novac.
Nažalost druge stvari su učinile da naš boravak ne dobije ocenu 10/10 (sam hotel je 10/10) Lokacija je sjajna, osoblje fantastično, hrana veoma ukusna. U blizini hotela se nalazi restoran Nasip-Et u kome su zaposleni bili veoma gostoljubivi (12/10). Miran kraj i relativno siguran. Jedna osoba na bookingu je napisala da je hotel zavučen i da ga je teško pronaći. Slažem se, ali morate biti svesni da je u Istanbulu svaki hotel zavučen i da ih je sve teško pronaći. Pogotovo ako želite da budete u blizini centra.

Отель удобно расположен, все достопримечательности в шаговой доступности. Был включён завтрак. Для того чтобы переночевать между прогулками по городу самое то. В номере было чисто, регулярно убирались. Приятный персонал.
