Small room but well equipped with everything needed. Excellent buffet breakfast is taken at a different hotel next door but one. This breakfast room is on the 6th floor with a good view of the sea. However there is no lift and access is via a spiral staircase which could be a problem for some.

В отеле, очень маленькие номера, в душе грибок. За окнами проходит Ж/Д ветка, но поезда ходят не часто. Начиная с 3-го этажа открывается вид на Босфор. Расположение отеля отличное, до Голубой мечети 5 мин пешком.

Aan de buitenkant is het niet te zien dat het een hotel is, we hadden schimmel in onze kamer, dus elke keer als we de kamer in kwamen stonk het. Ik zou hier niet langer dan 2 dagen verblijf aanraden. De kamer die we hadden gekregen was heel klein nauwelijks beweegruimte. Over het personeels is er vrij weinig te zeggen wordt geen Engels gesproken na de manager na verder best vriendelijk.
