First thing to say is I’ve never stayed in any other hotel in Turkey.

I arrived late and was put in a basic room even thought I’d payed extra. The next day I was put in the correct room. The late night staff were rude. The air conditioning made some weird noises and the shower head was broken. Overall the room was very rough and very tired. If they spent some time to DIY the walls, ceiling tiles and shower it would be ok. Having seen two types of room, I would say the “Royal Suites” probably aren’t much better.

I would avoid this hotel.

I usually am a lenient person when it comes to reviews but not this time. Firstly on my arrival the key to the room I was staying at was not locking the door. Requested it to be changed and came back couple hours later to find he's given me the same key back saying \"we've fixed it\". He did not as it was the same bent key. Coming out of the elevator on the third floor on the right the tiles had come off and there was supposedly building work to repair them. Throughout my 5 days nothing was repaired. Coming to the room, the general hygiene was okay but I've seen cleaner places. Didn't have a small fridge which was disappointing, air conditioning was good, bed was comfy. I requested an iron and they came to my room with just an iron not an ironing board. Asking how would I iron without the board the gentleman said you can use your desk. That desk is about 60cm long by 30. Also I was smart enough to realise that the iron itself had rust and luckily didn't use it on any of my clothes as it would have stained them. Took it back to reception and told them they're an absolute joke man to be giving me something like this. The staff generally speaking were unprofessional, cold faced and as if they didn't want to be there. Would I recommend? No. You can find somewhere better maybe but if your desperate and on a budget then it's okay I gues.

Too many bad reviews about this property made me scared after booking.

However my stay was very pleasant, the only bad was the hygiene of the shower floor but they give slippers which i wore in there, they offered room service more than 5 times during my stay.

Staff were great and accommodating, and this was definitely worth the price i had booked it for.

Good size convenience store literally next door, salon, barbers, plenty places to eat out and pharmacy as well, hence great location.

Id say book them, but its all quite hit or miss so i dont know if we were just lucky.

The sheets were dirty, there were no towels in the room, and the room did not look anything like the pictures showed. When I asked for clean sheets they brough another set with a bunch of hair on them. They did not smell clean either. I did not take my clothes off so my body would not touch the sheets. It was a horrible hotel. I checked out the next morning but they refused to issue a refund for the remaining nights I had paid for. They referred me to Expedia.

The hotel is in a good area with access to a convenience store, transport, and many places to shop locally.
However, at various times throughout the day and night there would be a strong smell of cigarette smoke coming into the room. It was difficult to work out if it was coming through the ventilation or from the hallway. As non smokers, this was very uncomfortable.
My wife was really looking forward to utilizing the Spa, but it was unfortunately closed during the 6 days we stayed. The receptionist recommended a nearby hotel for the Spa treatment, which was very nice (we were momentarily tempted to switch hotels).
The staff were very responsive to help with any queries we had.
For the price we paid, my overall rating is OK.

Great hotel for the price!

At checkin, you're greeted by a staff who will assist carrying suitcases all the way to my room. My room is good though might have some work on with some wallpaper torn ish. You won't get any TV Channels so instead you will get Turkish radio stations just to let future foreign customers know.

The view I don't like because my view has a garage try to make a bit of noise and early hours in the morning but it didn't bother me that much.

Bathroom is clean and modern!

Be warned, you might hear neighbours snoring & crying kids in the night.

Also although i have received a confirmation email as well as a reminder 4days before my departure when i popped in the receptionist informed me that my booking has been cancelled due to a problem with my credit card. No one had contacted me otherwise we could sort it out. Very frustrating, thanks to the receptionist that he offered me another room. Over all I wouldn’t stay there next time. Thanks.

We were contacted by the hotel and offered airport transportation, with a quote of 20 euros each way. When we arrived at the hotel, they charged us 75 Euros for the round trip - almost double the quote. They said it was because the new airport is further, and I understand that, but I don’t understand how they misquoted it - they should have known the new airport would be open when they quoted it, or should have contacted us again with a new quote.

There were also only 2 bath towels in the room, no hand towels or wash cloths, for a family of 4. We stopped at the desk and asked for 2 more, as well as some drinking water. We were told it would be sent right up, but it never was until the next morning when my husband went down and asked again.

Wasted my money wish i had picked somewhere else birthday ruined . Room pictures are deceiving . Dulux room was not as superior . Contains a hard double mattress and a single. Dingy rooms had to be moved twice, thin walls . No such thing as a city view we were facing a garage , reception explained it just meant facing a side street and there is no direct view of the city. I was so angry and annoyed as i purposely selected the room for that purpose and paid extra . We were not advised the times for breakfast so we missed breakfast the first morning to be told breakfast is served between 7-10am. When we caught it the following day - it was awful !made my other half very unwell . We had to go pharmacy ! Research suggests they provide and arrange excursions! Dont be misled , they do not..receptionist tried to rip us off and charge over £150 euros for a £14 trip and got upset when we refused to take up the offer. Hardly any of the staff spoke English, so it is difficult to communicate . Please ensure you have a translator app. The lifts in the building felt insecure - took a looong time to open - we resorted to the stairs for the entire trip. They are currently building another block next door .. And it is very loud during the day ! The bathroom is decent although we kept running out of toilet roll so my other half brought some from the shop in the end. Attention to detail is needed, I cried so much .. I just can't believe i wasted all of my money on this hotel for my birthday
