Horrible Experience – Stay Away! I recently stayed at Grand Star Hotel, and it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The room was absolutely filthy—dust everywhere, stained sheets, and a terrible smell that made it unbearable to stay in. The bathroom was even worse, with mold in the shower, dirty towels, and clogged drains. The staff was just as bad except one lady called ELANOR. They were rude, unhelpful, and completely indifferent to any complaints. you need to call the reception 100 times and they don't take any action. 29/1/2025

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.

Das Hotel überzeugt mit freundlichem und zuvorkommendem Personal sowie sauberen, praktisch eingerichteten Zimmern mit sehr bequemen Matratzen. Das Frühstück war frisch wenn auch die Auswahl etwas größer sein könnte. Kleine Verbesserungen wie funktionierende Aufzüge und deutsche TV-Sender würden den Aufenthalt noch angenehmer machen. Insgesamt bietet das Hotel eine solide Unterkunft mit freundlichem Service und gute Lage , - wir haben uns wohlgefühlt!

Kesinlikle berbat. Sanki resepsiyonisti sanki tehdit ederek getirmişlerki, insan yerine konulursanız ne ala. Oda hijyenine 0 değil eksilerden bahsediyorum. Odamızda bi kaç tane böcek çıktı. Resepsiyona çözüm aramak için gittik, gösterdiği muameleden dolayı emniyete bildirmek zorunda kaldık. Kesinlikle sokakta bankta uyurum yinede bir daha önünden geçmem.
