2/10 Poor

where to begin, firstly with the name the Grand Spa. well the pictures looked great the reality however was far from that. more on that later. when we arrived they tried to put us in the basement on floor -2 the rooms were damp, dark and the windows would not close nor lock. outside them was a a bunch of discarded chairs and other trash. after a complaining session we we moved to the the 8th floor with a charge of £120. same room configurations except one did not have twin singles and they did not offer to change that so my mother in law and aunt had to share a bed. breakfast was a joke so we only ate in once not much of a choice and only boiled eggs. The Spa! the sauna worked, just, and when we went in on the 2nd day it was being used to dry ladies underwear. When we asked the staff to remove them they were no very obliging and we ended up having to ask the spa manger who did so with no apology. the steam room was being used as a sore room and the Jacuzzi was out of action and empty. the swimming pool was also out of action and we were told the water was contaminated! they gave us no indication as to when any of these issues would be rectified. the spa staff were basically rude and acted as if they had better things to be doing. there is no way this should be a 4 star hotel, it barely rates as a 3. in no way would I recommend it. large areas were neve illuminated and the terrace bar never maned. terrible place don't book it

Very calm and quiet place, clean and comfortable, and great value for the price. The kitchen is large and well equipped with everything you need. The location is excellent — just a few minutes’ walk to the метро station and grocery stores. The host is very friendly and helpful, which made the stay even better. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Breakfast is very basic and just cold food. Very little choice . Lifts are an issue. Only one small lift which is always packed. Location good, but house keeping rubbish. Not as advertised.

2/10 Poor

The receptionists by day were good and helpful, the one working night shift were terrible. One person from the night shift by the name of Zack was extremely rude and unprofessional. He shouldn’t be working in the hotel industry at all. When we first arrived at the hotel, we asked about the smoking policy and we were told about 2 areas (Terraces) that are designated for smoking. One night we were heading towards one of the areas when an employee came rushing to tell us the area is closed after 11 PM, and that was a lie. The next morning we talked to the day shift manager, he apologized and assured us it would not happen again. But the disturbing part was Zack’s attitude and vocabulary used. He threatened to take away my phone if I recorded him during the confrontation. This was my third trip to Turkey and I have never seen anything like this. Completely unprofessional. We felt like we were being attacked on the streets. I ultimately threatened to call police after he threatened to have us removed from the property. I will never set foot in that property again. If it wasn’t for the morning manager, we were leaving the next morning. Don’t even think about making reservations there.

Good location, but they gave me the worst room. I had to pass a long way, more than 40 steps maybe, and then by the end of a hallway, very tiny elevator to -2 floor! Was a bit difficult and time wasting each time going in and out of the room

They remove coffee from our hands after breakfast time ends, without permission! In addition a staff name Amareye was shouting on kids and us because they were swimming and shouted when we told her we will report this. Management didnt do anything about this, it was my 6th visit to this Hotel and its now over i will not book again and i dont recommend at all due to their staff behavior

The place was filthy. We didn't even stay there. We were itchy after trying to have a nap. Clearly bed bugs. And pretty sure they are aware of it . Absolutely disgusting.
