Dieses Hotel kann ich leider nicht weiter empfehlen, es ist leider sehr schmutzig gewesen. ÜBERALL im Zimmer waren Staubwolken am Boden, das Reinigungspersonal wirkte sehr unfreundlich und unzufrieden. Das Frühstück war ebenfalls...sehr wenig Auswahl jeden Tag das selbe...der Speiseraum war morgens extrem Kalt, das es auf der Dachterrasse statt gefunden hat.. Und es ziemlich undicht war das es keine Fenster gab🙄 Die Nächte waren echt schlimm bis in die Nacht hinein lauter Lärm, Türen geschmissen... Unfassbar!! FAZIT SORRY REZEPTION waren nett gewesen und hilfsbereit aber das wars auch.

Удобное расположение

Отель расположен в центре европейского квартала. В 10-15 минутах ходьбы от Собора Святой Софии, мечети Султанахмет (голубая мечеть), дворца Топкапы, мечети Сулеймание, Град базара, подземного водохранилища. Приветливый персонал, даже есть русскоговорящий сотрудник. Отель не новый, достаточно чистый, хотя есть над чем поработать. Немного не исправна сантехника, но это не критично. Завтраки на любителя: сухие хлопья, сыр, колбаса, яйца, овощи, немного салатов. Отель могу рекомендовать, т.к расположение максимально удобное для пеших прогулок по городу. С учетом того, что в отеле только ночевали, нас он полностью устроил.

J'ai séjourné dans cette hôtel il y a 4 ans, j'ai était tellement satisfaite que j'ai voulu y retourner .. GRANDE DECEPTION !! Yazar Hôtel à completement changer niveau qualité, service, personnel .. c'est honteux ! Les draps et les housse d'oreiller n'étaient pas changer malgré qu'il y avait des tâches dessus ! Il y avais beaucoup de poussière et dans l'ensemble l'état de la chambre était à désirer .. Je parle pas du petit déjeuner où j'ai même pas manger 1 fois tellement c'était médiocre, tous le temps la même chose, les plats n'avait pas de couvercles (froid et pas hygiénique) endroit fumeurs donc vous déjeuner avec de la fumée .. pas de bonjour de la part du personnels .. L'emplacement de l'hôtel catastrophique, une pente interminable, rue pas éclairée du tout, la rue est fermée à certaines horaires donc les voitures taxi vous laisse à 200m même si vous avez 10 valises .. Un vrai désastre plus jamais Yazar Hôtel
