Lying cheating noisy crowded smelly place

They LIE by saying: 1) room size is 215 sqft - its less than half that size! 2) LCD tv with satellite chanels in room - there was none, not even a small old fashioned b/w tv that every other hotel had all over Turkey in our 1 month of travel there. 3)deep soaking bath tub - haha, what a joke!!!! - the bath area was soooo small u couldn't even raise ur arms in there. They say all these facilities/Inclusions to cheat and trap travellers who will believe/trust and book n pay online and when u reach, they have nothing that you paid for. So basically outright cheating. Right from checkin to checkout there is no staff around without having to wait. Place is on a noisy street, noisy by tourists in the night n by tourist buses/cars by morning. No visible signboard so hard to find. Internet doesnt reach in rooms. Bad dirty smell comes if you open the window. Toilet area is sooo small that you have to put your cheek and ear to the wall in front to be able to seat yourself!! Everytime you come and go you get pressurised to eat there - as if to save them from starvation!!!! No access space to the place - so if you have kids or baggage or whatever you have to squueze through tables n people n hookas that line the street in front. We found much better place in the area for much better price in the next days just by walking around - with LCD tv n satellite chanels (not that we used it), a fridge, much bigger shower toilet, more quiet n friendly available staff,elevator, better breakfast

Wonderful location close to tram and main sights. Comfortable environment and friendly staff. Breakfast was great as well. Rooms right above the street can get a bit noisy into the night if you're a light sleeper.

zor durumda kalınabilir

Otelin girişinde bir tabela vs olmaması ürküttü başta. oda için de alt katta bodrum gibi bir yere girdik. çok ışık alan bir yer değildi. biraz askeri koğuş gibiydi. çarşaflar temizdi. sıcak su vardı ancak tuvalet kağıdı vs yoktu.
