Inte ett bra hotell

Upplevde absolut inte detta som ett 4-stjärnigt hotell. Snarare 2-stjärnigt eller möjligtvis 3-stjärnigt. Dålig service som till storsta del berodde på att hotellet försökte ta betalt i förväg trots att jag valt alternetivet att betala på boendet. Rummen var gamla, slitna och inpyrda och luktade rök. Trasig duschkabin i badrumet och generellt slitet skick gav ett dåligt intryck. Städning var OK, inget märkvärdigt men gjordes det som kan förväntas av ett 2-stjärnigt hotell.

Great hotel, great people, great location. We will definitely return. Only downside was that there seems to be a night club in the building that we could hear from our room, but all in all, that didn’t bother us too much

With special thanks to Faroza and Yasir for making this a great stay. Yasir was extremely friendly and was good with my children. The only downside can’t swim with a shirt on would be nice to know this policy prior to booking.

Unos Sinvergüenzas

Reservé y pagué por adelantado la unica Suite Presidencial que tienen en el hotel como sorpresa para mi mujer. La sorpresa me la lleve yo cuando al hacer el check in y llegar a la habitación vi que era una suite de categoría muy inferior, obviamente arruinando la sorpresa. Al ser por la noche nos respondieron que no había ningún manager y para solucionarlo teníamos que esperar al día siguiente. Al día siguiente, el manager habló con nosotros 1 minuto y dejó al cargo de la situación a la Sales Manager del hotel que se comprometió a llamarnos con una solución antes de las 18:00 (hora que plegaba). No recibimos ninguna llamada y cuando llegamos al hotel justo antes de las 18:00 nos dijo que no podían solucionarlo y que llamáramos a Hotels.com ya que des de un principio afirmaron que había sido culpa de ellos. Como solución nos dijieron que nos podíamos marchar y hacer el check out. Así que nos sentimos muy abandonados por parte de los managers del hotel ya que habían arruinado la sorpresa y tuvieron MUCHAS maneras y posibilidades de llegar a una solución o hacernos sentir mejor y no hicieron NADA. La verdad es que ha sido la peor experiencia en un hotel que hemos tenido.

Atendimento péssimo

Um hotel fantástico, porém o serviço oferecido de internet é péssimo e além de não ser rede segura até a TV parava de funcionar por falta de sinal, eu alertava a recepção e nada era feito, anunciam que têm funcionários que podem lhe atender em russo, turco, inglês e espanhol, eu falo espanhol e ninguém sabia e nem se interessavam em tentar ajudar e sorte que eu estava com um tradutor, apesar de ser um ótimo hotel em isntalações eu não voltaria mais.

Honestly, I was very disappointed in my stay here. I received the incorrect room. That room had stained carpet and smelled like cigarettes. I was told it was a non smoking hotel but there was an ash tray provided by the hotel in the room? The electricity would go in and out and the wifi was AWFUL. I would be disconnected every 5 minutes. The straw that broke the camels back is the refusal to refund me for a night I did not stay. And the pics look nothing like the hotel. Won’t be coming back

Great location for the hotel... the only reason why I stayed here was because of Lotiz which is an incredible restaurant on the 7th floor. The rooms were pretty good and they staff was clean and nice. Overall, great experience... it’s location is in the center of the city which is perfect!

Great property in the middle.. everything is around you. Very easy to commute, shop and great food all around. Check out the amazing 5 star restaurant available on the 7th floor of this hotel. Only issue I had was with this tall Egyptian dude wearing a suit.. he does not know how to talk to people. I think he was the manager but he is the worst I’ve ever came across. Terrible. Other than him everyone else as far as staff is absolutely amazing. I recommend.
