Das Badezimmer sah schrecklich aus. Sobald geduscht wurde kam Wasser aus dem Abfluss raus und der ganze Boden war nass. Das Badezimmer sollte saniert werden.

Hôtel proposant le stricte minimum. La chambre que j’ai eu n’était pas la bonne par rapport à la réservation, j’ai dû réclamer deux fois de changer de chambre. Le petit déj est quelconque pas plus. Le room service a été très bien.

Отличное расположение

Мне очень понравилось расположение отеля. Он находится недалеко от центральной проезжей части, так что после того , как вы возвращаетесь в отель на отдых , не слышно шума городского транспорта. В то же время до трамвайной остановки " Аксарай" 5 минут ходьбы. Буквально через две остановки находится " Гранд базар", который нельзя не посетить. Еще через 2 остановки на трамвае Голубая мечеть, Аля София, Топкапы. Если вы хотите сделать покупки , тона всех прилегающих к отелю улицах вдоль и поперек магазины на любый вкус.

Trotz Reservierung kein Zimmer

Bei Ankunft sofort eine Überraschung. Ihre Zimmer sind leider belegt! .... wir haben jedoch ein Upgrade für Sie. Wir wurden in ein Hotel in unmittelbarer Nähe begleitet. Das Best Western Premier Senator war tatsächlich ein kostenfreies Upgrade.

Nesnosna buka

Tijekom svih 7 dana naseg boravka u hotelu su izvodjeni radovi renoviranja soba tocno iznad nase.. Sobarice od 07: 00 ujutru zapocinju galamiti po hodniku i zavirivati u sobu da li ste ustali.. Ostalo je sve bilo OK ali o spavanju i odmoru nema govora..Sve u svemu niti 3 a kud 4 *...

6/10 Good

We stayed there for 3 days. Staff was helpful and changed rooms for us, since the room was noisy and smelled smoke. Rooms in the 5th floor tend to be less noisy. Location is good, 30 min walk from Sultanamet. Enjoyed the stay, though I would like to have stayed closer to Sultanmeht.

Chambre douillette

L'hôtel se trouve à proximité de toutes commodités ( magasins, transports, restaurants ). Le personnel est très serviable et rapide. Le ménage de la chambre est impeccable. Seul inconvénient le chauffage dans la chambre n'était pas très puissant. Sinon très bon dans l'ensemble

4/10 Fair

Mediocre lodgings

Close to the Valens Aquaduct but far from the main tourist attractions like Blue Mosque and Aya Sofya (you can still walk or take the tram which is just a few stops away). I am not used to the tipping 'culture' and gave the hotel help 2 TLR but he signaled for another TLR after doing some 'stretching' of his arms due to carrying our stuffs. I found this funny. Hotel is actually quite old. The wood decor in our room needs refurbishing. The wireless Internet access is slow and cumbersome to connect to as each room occupant is given a specific password to gain access. I have never like carpeted floors and the reason is that it makes the room feel dingy and dark, with a kind of smell which needs a day to clear (or adjusted to) and this was what I experienced at Black Bird. The air-conditioning didn't help in the beginning as it was difficult to control. The toilet is rather old but nevertheless functioning. As a result, we didn't dare to ask for room service. The breakfast spread is a pretty standard fare and I cannot complain. The silver lining in my stay in this hotel is perhaps the location as it is further from the main tourist areas of Sultanahmet, it lets you experience how the people go through their daily hustle and bustle.

8/10 Very good

Noisy neighbours

The hotel is modern and clean. The service is good but it is a noisy neighbourhood. The streets were loud and the nearby mosque woke me at 6 a.m. It is a good three quarters of a mile to the tourist areas and the walk there is a little intimidating in places. I would probably choose a different hotel next time, purely because of the location.

6/10 Good

In der Nähe einiger Sehenswürdigkeiten

Für eine Nacht ganz in Ordnung. Viele Araber im Hotel und arabische Geschäfte in der Umgebung. Direkt gegenüber der Moschee Sehzadebasi. Taksim mit der berühmten Straße Istiklal caddesi ca. 5 km weg. Für einen längeren Aufenthalt würde ich das Hotel nicht empfehlen - aber für einen kurzen Aufenthalt ist es ganz zweckmäßig. W-LAN inklusive im ganzen Hotelbereich - das fand ich super.

8/10 Very good

Hotel 4 étoiles... standards turques, 3 étoiles standards européens. Hotel propre et personnel très gentil, même s'il n'y a pas beaucoup de monde qui parle anglais. Bien desservi, pas loin du tram qui porte au centre ville (3-4 arrêts de la mosquée bleu) et aux bus qui portent à Taksim. Demandez une chambre sur la cour interne, car il y a 3 mosquées assez proches et à 6h15 du matin le réveil est assuré...
