Odalar yenilenmeli

Oda yeterliydi, duş ve sıcak su mükemmeldi. Çarşaf gayet temizdi ancak havluda lekeler vardı. Oda zemininde bir önceki ziyaretçiden kalan saçlar vardı. Oda zeminindeki parke çok yıpranmış, yer yer aşınmıştı. Kahvaltı ve otel genel kullanım alanları gayet yeterli ve güzeldi.

GÜZEL

Otel taksim meydanın bir arka sokağında kalıyor metro tranvay ve vapur hatlarına merkezi noktalara yakın. Odaların boyutları yeterli,Kahvaltı güzel ve kullanılan ürünler marka olarak tutuluyor taze ve çeşitlilik var. Otel çalışanları yardım sever.Otelin önünde ve üstünde otopark mevcut aracınızla çok rahat giriş çıkış yapabilirsiniz. Otelin ve odanın sıcaklığı çok iyi Gündelik veya uzun gezilerinizde güvenle konaklana bilir. Havaş gibi turistik otobüsler hemen yan sokağından kalkmakta Fiyat güzel Eksikleri Otelin Ses yalımı yok. Dışardaki Sesler ve yan odalardaki sesler çok odanızın içinde. Odanın içerisindeki ışıklandırma yetersiz Odadaki boya tv vb mobilyaların yenilenme zamanı gelmiş.

I was appalled by this place. After staying at over 10 hotels in the last 2 months I couldn’t believe it. The staff are so rude. I pointed out problems with the room such as holes in the floor, dirty beds and a strong smell - however, the staff were so rude to laugh and not take any responsibility. Not only this but they were talking about us in a rude and impolite manner to each other - not knowing we speak fluent Turkish and can know exactly they are saying. I reccomend everyone avoids this place
