The hotel is in a very good location. The maintenance of the rooms is minimal and the room conditions is not good where the painting is old and the beds are not comfortable. The hair dryer and the TV were not functioning in my room. Overall, I would say the stay was ok, the staff were really friendly and helpful. However it could have been way better if they pay extra attention to the areas listed above. “More maintenance”.

Horrible

The worst hotel I've ever been to. We stayed for 6 nights without anyone clean our room , we have to ask for towels or shampoo. Bathroom is full of roaches and ants, no working tv or fridge, very slow wifi. That profile picture doesn't exist. Except location and one of the guy in front desk Abdul nothing positive I can say about this hotel.

I would like to get my money back I did not spend a night as soon as I saw the hotel I wanted to check out, but the reception said “no refund” and I had to stay 1 night. The restroom floor was very dirty and dusty. There were dead roaches under the wood planks. The bed sheets, blankets and pillows were very unsanitary and has yellow stains on them. I would love to get my money back.I am going to post all the pictures on line for review.

This was the most unpleasant holiday accommodation I have ever experienced. The room was disgusting: - filthy/stained and smelly bedsheets with bits of dirt in the bed as well, I don't even wanted to know what that was. - black mold and stains on the bedroom ceiling and in the bathroom - bathroom and room size very small - bathroom glass panel door was jammed and falling over when trying to slide close - we could smell cigaret smoke all day, which we think is because the owner who was smoking on the terrace repeated times per day - the breakfast buffet was very bad quality (hardly any choice and the options that were there were not edible) hard dry bread, very pink and odd looking meat. we looked at the food and immediately decided to leave and eat elsewhere even though we'd paid for breakfast here at Meddusa. - the last point but not least: the owner or person in charge is very rude and arrogant. I had caught a cold in the hto air balloons in Cappadocia so asked this person if he had any paracetamol or something alike to reduce my fever and he abruptly said no. Usually hotels have first aid kits and basic medicines but that's understandable if they dont have it, it could have been said in a much more human and pleasant way. After that I asked him if there was any shop where I could get something from but he just ignored me. This is just an instance to give as an example but he was rude and arrogant in many more situations which made me really feel unwelcome.

Das schlimmste was ich bis jetzt erlebt habe!!Alles an diesem Hotel ist furchtbar.Den ersten Abend wurden wir von Bettwanzen gebissen,meine Kinder leiden immer noch drunter. Für 2 Tage konnten wir noch eine andere Unterkunft finden,den letzten Tag mussten wir leider den Abend noch in diesem Hotel verbringen,wir haben die ganze Nacht durchgesesssen,weil wir uns da nicht reinlegen konnten. Geputzt wurde nie,das Bad nicht betretbar.So kann man sich den Urlaub versauen,was ich eine Unverschämtheit finde sowas für Urlauber überhaupt anzubieten!Dieses Hotel sollte geschlossen werden,man hat nur doppelte Kosten (was uns natürlich keiner erstattet,viel ärger und die Gesundheit leidet auch noch darunter. In Zukunft werde ich ganz genau schauen wo und was und bei wem ich buche.Hauptsache gebucht und keiner hilft dir weiter!!!
