David

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was small, dirty, dark and no maintenance. Lights were.dull and.just hanging. Bed had good mattress but base was collapsed in one corner so mattress sagged at head. Door to balcony had big gap around it, wouldn't open or close. Balcony was cover in bird feather and poo. Not that we could get out anyway. Had to turn off air conditioner because it was so noisy. Carpet was disgusting. Staff were indifferent. The pictures on Wotif aren't the same as the rooms in this hotel. This is the second time we have booked through Wotif in Turkiye and this has happened. Won't be using Wotif to book any hotels in the future. They need to vet their clients better. Very disappointed in the dishonesty of the hotel and Wotif. We don't mind basic accomodation, in fact we normally stay in cheaper places. However being cheap doesn't mean some cleaning and maintenance standard can't be adhered to.

Çalışanlarda hiç ilgili değildi. Duvarlar o kadar inceydiki bütün ses odadaydı uyumak imkansız gibi bişey. Hiç memnun kalmadım odadanda verilen hizmettende.

Catastrophic!

Dirty room, leak in the shower and the sink, small duvet for a double bed, the check in delayed until 2:30 p.m. for cleaning, basically very bad experience given the attitude of the receptionist rather rude and insolent, I do not recommend this hotel to nobody. If they put it on sale on sahibinden it is for a reason !!! Negative charge in all atmosphere😔

Old Hollywood movie Hotel

The lobby of the hotel is hollywood movie memorabilia. The rooms are themed after cities around the world. The bathroom was spacious so was the room. Unfortunately, the room needed some loving, the wall paper was coming down. The bed was missing parts of the headboard, the ceiling had lots of water damage. Overall, it was a good stay, solid wifi.

Otel genel itibariyle idare ederdi. Sonuçta o bölgeye göre uygun fiyatlı bir otel. Bence otel odalarını yenilemeleri gerekiyor bir an önce. Onun haricinde kahvaltısı fena değildi o fiyata göre. Konumu itibariyle gündüz çok gürültülü bir otel. Konforu da iyi sayılırdı.

Otelin ucuz oluşu değerlendirildiğinde çok ekstra güzel şeyler beklemedim aslında ancak: 1)odaları gerçekten çok çok çok küçük. Oturabileceğiniz bir sandalye, kullanabileceğiniz bir sehpa/masa yok!!!!! 2)Odada sıcak birşeyler içmek için ısıtıcı dahi yok?!!! 3)Sabahları servis edilen kahvaltı vasat.(domates, salatalık, 1 çeşit zeytin, 2 çeşit ucuz peynir, haşlanmış yumurta, çay, kahve ve küçük paket reçeller.( kahvaltı dahil fiyat düşüncesiyle değerlendirme yaparken tekrar değerlendirin derim) 4)banyosu temiz ve yeterli. 5)yetersiz bir mini elbise dolabı 6)Çelik kasa var ama :)
