Kesinlikle Tavsiye etmiyorum.

Tarihi bölgelere yakınlığı nedeniyle tercih ettik. Fakat otel son derece kötü, temizlik kavramı ile henüz tanışmamışlar. Banyoda böcekler geziyor, personel ilgisiz, TV çalışmıyor, Klozetler bozuk... Otel genel olarak PİS. hotels.com daki fotoğraflarla uzaktan yakından alakası yok.

Bra läge

Ett hotell som enbart lämpar sig för en övernatt (motsv)- Läget jättebra nära till Metro och Spårvagn. Rummen små och slitna. Den sk frukosten inget att skryta med

Gammelt og lite hotell

Gammelt og lite hotell i meget støyede området i Aksaray. Eneste poeng med hotellet er det at det er kun 5 minutter unna T-bane stasjonen som går direkte til Ataturk flyplass 06-24! 37 Euro... er alt for dyrt for dette hotellet! Vil ikke obholde meg der igjen!

Good location and value

The Melita was a pleasant surprise given the mixed reviews I had read. My room was small but quite manageable for one person. Everything worked, it was quiet and clean, the hot water was reliable and the staff were pleasant. Breakfast was plentiful and very Turkish (bread, cheese, eggs, tomato, olives) while the coffee was good.

Der Preis sollte nicht alles sein.

Ok...3 Jahre Armeezeit haben mich abstumpfen lassen....dachte ich....Nun gut, Armeisen im Bett und das jeden Tag, da kann man geteilter Meinung sein. Im Endeffekt waren wir froh, dass es keine anderen Tierchen waren. Das Personal unmotiviert und vom Gesichtsausdruck eher unfreundlich...bis lediglich ein Herr von der Rezeption. Frûhstück verdient den Namen nicht....Bûffett eine Katastrophe ...dreckig..speckig wie auch die Tische...etwas zerbrôseltes Weißbrot, Butter, eine Wurstsorte in Rosa, Marmelade in Plastik, das wars. Die meisten Gàste greifen zur Melone....damit war auch dieser Rohstoff begrenzt. Nicht einen Tag waren Besteck, Glàser o. Tische sauber. Personal sieht nichts und muss ständig angesprochen werden. Auch das nervte.

Small but comfy, sort of dodgy neighborhood.

The hotel room was small but more than suitable, however the walk to the hotel late at night was kind of dodgy. During the daytime, however, the proximity to the Metro line is quite nice.

reception

the receptionists are not friendly, especially the one that checked me in. he wanted me pay straight away, which I did, and then he asked me to go up to my room, without having been given the receipt, which prooves that I have payed. When I insisted to get my receipt, he got cold and unfriendly, and he kept his unfriendly, stupid attitude for the 5 days and nights I have spent there. too bad, otherwise....
