The facilities were very nice … the fitness room, pool, sauna and steam room. The unit was suppose to sleep 4, but only had one double bed in bedroom and regular couch in living room- not a sofa bed that pulls out. Communication with owner was non existent; any concerns we raised went unanswered. We actually checked out early and moved to another accommodation (hotel) with wonderful beds so my travelling companion could get some sleep
This was without a doubt the worst hotel experience of my entire life. I absolutely do not recommend this hotel to anyone.
I paid for a luxury apartment, but what we received was the complete opposite — a very poor, dirty and badly maintained room that was nowhere near the standard we had paid for. The worst part was that we found bed bugs in the room.
We were moved to another room, but the replacement room was also extremely poor, dirty and far below the standard we had booked and paid for. We informed the staff several times and provided evidence, but the problem was not properly resolved.
The staff and service were extremely poor and unprofessional. We felt completely ignored and disrespected as guests. I paid for a luxury stay, but received something completely different. I genuinely feel that I was misled and did not receive what I paid for.
What was supposed to be a pleasant family holiday turned into a horrible, stressful and frustrating experience. Think twice before booking this hotel. I strongly recommend staying somewhere else.
WARNING – Very disappointing experience
I strongly recommend thinking twice before booking this hotel. The apartment was completely different from what was described and shown in the booking information.
1. No water for two days – We had no running water in the apartment for two full days, which was extremely inconvenient and unacceptable.
2. No breakfast because of a power outage – When we went to have breakfast, the electricity went out, so breakfast could not be served.
3. Kitchen was not available – On another day when we went to have breakfast, the kitchen was not even set up or ready, so again we could not have breakfast.
4. Very poor working conditions – The staff appeared to be working under extremely difficult conditions and seemed completely exhausted. It was uncomfortable to see.
Overall, this was nothing like the accommodation that was advertised. We paid for a certain standard and experience, but unfortunately did not receive it. I would not recommend this place and would advise future guests to be very careful before booking.
Finger weg von dieser Unterkunft!
Was uns hier erwartet hat, war ein absoluter Albtraum. Die Fotos im Internet haben mit der Realität nichts zu tun. Statt eines sauberen Hotels fanden wir ein völlig verdrecktes Apartment vor.
Schon beim Betreten war klar, dass hier seit langer Zeit nicht gründlich gereinigt worden war. Das Bett war voller Staub, das Badezimmer und die Toilette waren massiv verschmutzt und auch Geschirr und Besteck waren in einem Zustand, in dem sie nicht benutzt werden konnten. Für eine Unterkunft, die rund 300 Euro kostet, ist das völlig inakzeptabel.
Der Pool war ebenfalls nicht nutzbar. Er war verschmutzt und wegen Sanierungsarbeiten gesperrt. Darüber wurden wir vor der Buchung nicht informiert. Damit fiel ein wesentlicher Teil des gebuchten Angebots weg.
Die hygienischen Zustände waren so schlecht, dass wir die Unterkunft noch am selben Tag verlassen mussten. Mit unserer Familie standen wir plötzlich ohne Unterkunft da und mussten kurzfristig ein anderes Hotel finden. So etwas sollte niemand im Urlaub erleben.
Der Gastgeber war für uns praktisch nicht erreichbar. Mehrfache Kontaktversuche blieben ohne Lösung. Selbst Expedia konnte den Gastgeber nicht erreichen. Bis heute warten wir auf die Rückerstattung unseres Geldes.
Ich kann diese Unterkunft niemandem empfehlen. Wer Wert auf Sauberkeit, Ehrlichkeit, Erholung und einen funktionierenden Kundenservice legt, sollte unbedingt woanders buchen. Istanbul bietet zahlreiche Hotels, die ihre Gäste respektv
