“Hotel great, avoid rooms 1050-1056”

The hotel is great and the staff are amazing. Ali the waiter in the piano bar is fantastic and works so hard. The food was varied and loads of choice for morning, noon and evening! My only complaint was the location and balcony of the room. We booked a superior double with balcony and were placed in room 1051 - the balcony overlooked the fairground (which isn’t too bad), however it was dark and dingy and we didn’t sit out there once. It didn’t see any sun and the view was not what I’d expect from a superior room. Hotel was full so we couldn’t change rooms.

“Nice Relaxing Break”

We arrived at the Hotel on 24th November, check in was nice and easy went to our rooms 1434 & 1436.. Rooms are spacious, with one kings size bed and 1 single, really think this is not needed, wardrobes are fine good few hangers, 2 full length mirrors which is good only thing I would day there is a mirror above the mini bar where the tea & coffee station is there is a mirror there which is totally not need this would have been better positioned above the dressing table... the only other thing I will say is the bathroom we had very musty damp like smell, as there is no window or extractor fan in there, we use to leave the bathroom door open when showring to let out all, the steam , however in my daughter's rooms same set up she never had this problem.. cleaning of the room was very hit n miss, nothing major Bed very comfortable, food in the buffet was good and quite lot of choice especially for the time of the year as far as I am aware none of the al-carte restaurant's were open.. staff at this hotel are lovely always upbeat and happy, Ibrahim in the entertainment team lovely happy guy always big big smile on his face and is great with all the customers chatting to everyone big asset to this hotel.. grounds in the hotel are beautifully kept, this is my 2nd visit I was here over 20 years ago but in the summer months when it was very busy its good location for shops etc and only half hour from the airport, overall nice hotel just need a few tweaks here and there

“Okay with limits ”

Let's start with the fact that this is a first visit to Turkey and we really had.no idea what to expect. We had heard that it was really good value for money and indeed the deal we got on the trip as a whole was very good value. Upon arrival, the airport was nice, simple to navigate and the people… more

Let's start with the fact that this is a first visit to Turkey and we really had.no idea what to expect. We had heard that it was really good value for money and indeed the deal we got on the trip as a whole was very good value. Upon arrival, the airport was nice, simple to navigate and the people great. The trip to the hotel on a bus that, while nice, did show signs of wear and tear... Seats recligned mystically at their own free will, but okay. The area you drive through is a mass of unfinished buildings and gives you a feeling of being in the terminator movies... Safe enough but some real dives. We took the 511 bus at one point oh my, talk about driving through slums...eeek.. Now, the hotel.. Upon arrival it has a fantastic appearance,and in fact is very modern. Digital switches for do not disturb and room change over, nice furnishings etc..very nice indeed., and more advanced than a lot of hotels I've stayed in in the states. The staff I have to say are fantastic..our entire trip we were treated very well by friendly , attentive staff... Can't speak highly enough of them all. Food... While at first it was very impressive..massive buffet etc.. after a week it became much of the same choice with not much imagination. Most of the time it was warm, not hot, which was okay, but lacking. Cleanliness It was okay, but not great..we stepped over the same piece of rubbish in the hall all week.. we left it just to see if the floor was vacuumed... apparently not. I found toe nail cuttings, not mine, in the carpet in our room. It wasn't disgusting but could have been better. The pool We were obviously here at the wrong time of year as most things outside were closed for the off season.. I can imagine that during peak times this place is a very different experience, but off season... To be fair a cold indoor pool and luke warm hot tub just didn't cut it... Went once, not enjoyable enough to repeat. The area One day out and you've had enough... I feel for the local vendors trying to eek a living during low season... But.. store after store of the same over priced knock off bags and imitation name brands... This area is built for shallow brand name following, in my opinion, morons... Think track suits with all the high fashion names but cheap imitation. One vendor was at least honest and called us into his shop saying "get your genuine fake name brands here" with a good laugh.. I would buy from him verses the miriad pushy others... After our first visit,my wife would repeat at high season, I on the other hand..while I would visit Turkey again, definitely not this area... It felt like I was trapped in the middle of nowhere and I was really bored very quickly. I came with the soul purpose if relaxing from works stresses... I sort if accomplishes that, but would have enjoyed it more in a livelier environment. Entertainment On a last note... Whomever is in charge if entertainment need to be fired... Absolute rubbish... The last night was supposed to be karaoke night..I was expecting much...but..no kereoke, just some sort of semi reggae themed imitation songs that acted as a lullaby rather than a party. The DJ simply put in a play list and left... Absolutely rubbish... whoever it is had no idea what the crowd wanted... I would have fired him on the spot... So, I. Short... Come here in the peak season and you've got a chance..off season, stay near oldtown and enjoy some culture...my wife may repeat with my mother in law.... Me... Not a chance. One last comment..when they say it closes at 11, or 10...it closes to the second. Not like some places where staff care... These guys are going home on time no matter what.... I don't blame them, probably making peanuts... But you are never made to feel like you matter... You're just a customer... Staff are great. But there is a limit and that's closing time..Should you come, helm yeah, in season and don't exoect tooych and you'll love it.... Compare it to the states... Say home ..
