Our first stay in Sultanahmed were just perfect.

9.0

If you want to be near everything of interest with regards to heritage/ history, then this location is excellent. Tram runs right in front of hotel and station close enough to not make it too busy outside. We enjoyed the breakfast, was convenient to dine in before excursions, thereby not wasting time in the morning. Front Desk staff were very helpful in storting out little things. We would definitely choose to stay here if back in Sultanahmed.

Nothing really to find fault, but because tram line runs in front of hotel, airport transfers or other pickups needs to be a close distance away.

Hotel dove si sta' bene.Peccato che sia caro e che la colazione non sia all' altezza.

MI E' PIACIUTA LA CAMERA E LA DOCCIA MOLTO GRANDE CON L'ACQUA CALDA CHE ARRIVAVA SUBITO

LA COLAZIONE SCARSA.NON E' PIU' LA COLAZIONE CHE IL FAROS OFFRIVA ANNI FA'.E' SCESA LA QUANTITA' E ANCHE LA QUALITA'.UN ALBERGO CHE HA QUESTO PREZZO DEVE OFFRIRE UNA COLAZIONE MIGLIORE. INOLTRE IL RISTORANTE DOVE SI CONTINUA A MANGIARE BENE HA PREZZI TROPPO ALTI.IN ZONA CI SONO RISTORANTI DOVE SI MANGIA UGUALE E FORSE MEGLIO DOVE SI PAGA MENO.
