Tutto sommato gradevole sperienza grazie al personale di portineria.
L'albergo come tanti ha bisogno di manutenzione sopra tutto nel bagno dove acqua della doccia finiva nel pavimento causa una contro pendenza nella possa del piano doccia. Poi di notte si sentiva una estrazione aria forze di qualche altra parte ma le finestre non insonorizzavano perfettamente.
A la fine la differenza la faceva il personale della reception il quale ti dava informazioni utilissime e sempre disponibile per sistemare qualsiasi disguido (tipo lasciavano le asciugamani per una persona e non due)
posizione ottima per il gran bazar e pure per la linea T1 dal tram, vicinissimo a tutte le attrazioni di sultanamed
albergo di fascia economica credo 3/4 stelle
la colazione non eccellente ma buona

Te dejo una opinión más clara, profesional y equilibrada para publicar sobre el hotel Aybar Hotel:
Nuestra experiencia en Aybar Hotel fue bastante irregular.
Reservamos una habitación económica y sinceramente no cumplía unas condiciones mínimamente cómodas. La cama estaba encajada dentro de un hueco, por lo que únicamente se podía acceder subiendo y bajando por los pies. Para personas jóvenes quizás no suponga un gran problema, pero en mi caso, con 57 años, resultaba bastante incómodo.
Además, la habitación no estaba suficientemente limpia y el baño tenía bastante cal acumulada. Otro detalle preocupante fue encontrar la caja eléctrica dentro del armario, con cables visibles, algo que nos pareció un posible riesgo de seguridad e incendio.
Tras presentar nuestra queja, al día siguiente el hotel nos ofreció sin coste adicional una mejora de habitación. La diferencia fue enorme: la nueva habitación estaba limpia, mucho más cómoda y permitía acceder a la cama de forma normal.
Como punto positivo, la ubicación del hotel es excelente. Está a apenas 2 minutos caminando de muchos de los principales puntos de interés de Sultanahmet y muy cerca del tranvía, lo que facilita mucho moverse por Estambul.
En resumen: la ubicación es muy buena y el personal respondió correctamente tras nuestra reclamación, pero deberían revisar seriamente el estado y diseño de algunas habitaciones económicas.

The hotel is located right in the center of Istanbul.
From the hotel, you can reach all the sights within a 10-15 minute walk, including the Sultanahmet Blue Mosque, or take a boat trip on the Bosphorus.
There is no sea view from the back of the hotel.
There is no balcony or terrace view during breakfast.
The room is 15 square meters, which is acceptable. A table is provided, perhaps allowing you to enjoy tea or coffee in the private atmosphere of your room in the evening with a friend or partner.
The hotel service is good.
The breakfast is good, but the coffee is not good—it's basically chemical coffee.
You should try to get good coffee at Starbucks or a Turkish coffee shop.
In conclusion:
The price is €10-20 more expensive per night compared to alternative hotels, but there is no police holding cell in the basement for criminals.
Oda temizliği gayet yeterliydi. Çalışanlar ilgili ve güleryüzlüydü.

Konum olarak Sultanahmet meydanına 2 dakikalık mesafede olması çok güzel. Odalar yeteri kadar genişlikte. Siz aksini söylemediğiniz müddetçe her gün temizleneceğini söylemeleri güzel bir durum. Sadece tuvalet ve banyoların yenileme zamanı gelmiş gibi duruyor.

Vanha hotelli, vähän kulahtaneet huoneet varsinkin wc, mutta hyvä sijainti sultan ahmetissa
Zona súper conveniente, sobre todo si vas poquitos días. Personal súper amable, desayuno completo y agua mineral disponible. La limpieza medio deficiente, faltaría barrer y sacudir polvo de los muebles. La cama doble que nos tocó eran dos simples unidas y los bordes estaban un poco vencidos.

La Habitación, instalaciones y ubicacion muy bien, calidad precio, bien.
El unico inconveniente fue que La primera noche el aire acondicionado olia mucho a humedad. Y para las segundas dos noches, lo solucionaron.

Piccolo hotel con camere pulite e ben arredate. Letti molto comodi
L'hôtel est tres bien placé, le personnel est très accueillant et disponible en cas de besoin.
La chambre est confortable et dispose de tout ce qui est nécessaire.
L'accès au tramway est rapide, la place Sultanahmet accessible en 2minutes tout en etant préservé des nuisances sonores.
Un grand merci à toute l'équipe du Aybar qui a accepté d'annuler notre precedente réservation suite à notre demande (ils auraient pu refuser) pour nous permettre de reprogrammer notre voyage suite à un incident médical.
