I booked a twin grand superior room through Orbitz, but when we arrived the hotel staff were very reluctant to acknowledge that. They even refused to see our reservation through Orbitz's web site.I told them we must have two separate beds in the room based on our reservation and after some degree of commotion they agreed. Other than that everything was good. The hotel has two restaurants. Smoking is allowed in one of them. So if a guest has allergy to smoke, don't go there. The food selection and quality of food at the restaurant is good. the hotel's location is very good. It is clean, but very busy.
One thing the prospective guests need to know is that the description of the rooms is not exactly what it is as described on the hotel site. For example, we thought we booked a room with two double beds and we found out our reservation was for a room with king bed and we went through some hassle with the hotel staff to change our room upon arrival. There are two restaurants in this hotel. Both have a large menu option and savory dishes. However, in Turkey, people can smoke inside restaurant and one of the restaurants in this hotel allows the customers to smoke and sometimes the smoke in the air is just terrible. If you have asthma don't eat at this restaurant. This hotel is a busy one. It is crowded with travelers, patients who visit the cosmetic nearby clinics and it hosts weddings and several parties every day. Other than that, it is a very clean place (my family are staying in three rooms) and the conditions of these rooms are very good. There is plenty of clean towel, bottle water, shampoo, soap, etc. Breakfast options are very good although their coffee selection needs improvement.
Location (and price?) are the only good things about this hotel.
Staff is very helpful. They helped me order flowers for my girlfriend since I don't speak Turkish.
the hotel was really beautiful and in a great area
This is the 3rd time my wife and I have stayed here, and we always have had a great time. We pick this place for mall shopping as it is close to the 3 big high-end malls. Taking the train to Old Town is easy and fun from the Dedeman also, but entails a short taxi ride to the station. Of course all 3 malls require a taxi ride too. They have a great breakfast buffet and the staff is first class. Several nice restaraunts within walking distance and a grocery store nearby to replace what I took from the mini-bar was very helpful. After shopping with my wife the rooftop bar was a great place to decompress.
We arrived at the hotel and were put in a room on level 14. We were shocked at how bad the room was it was old, had stains on the floor, old furniture and the worlds smallest tv. The room would not have passed for a two stars anywhere else. We complained about the room and were moved to a level that was nicer but the whole experience was annoying and not what you would expect from a five star hotel. Furthermore the climate control did not work, very few of the staff were friendly, and they could not even perform the basic tasks like deliver a newspaper to the room in the morning. The breakfast was the only good thing about this hotely. YOU can and will find a better hotel.
The hotel was great and people are friendly. I think it is a true 5-stars hotel in Turkey in terms of services but compare to hotels in the US, it is a 4 stars. Food was great; I just wish they had more choices for the breakfast like more fruits and salads. In general, you can say they are 4.5
