“Too hot to sleep”

Our main problem with this hotel was the temperature. Our room was over 80 degrees, even with leaving the windows wide open all night in January. The air conditioning was turned off for the winter season and attempting to turn on the fan made the room hotter. This made sleeping extremely uncomfortable despite a comfortable bed and pillows. The shower had a rainfall showerhead and was nicely sized. There was a moveable makeup mirror, which is always helpful. We had both dinner and breakfast with the hotel and both were disappointing. The buffet dishes were constantly empty and not refilled. The setup to move through the buffet was crowded and confusing.

“Large Hotel with no heart”

I don’t know who did this rating of this hotel at 9.4/10, but 7/10 would be nearer the mark. Fantastic view over Dardanelles. Apparently it’s winter now, in spite of the temperature being 23C & the room’s like a sauna, the A/C didn’t work. Luckily the windows opened, which helped a bit. Rooms we… lisää

I don’t know who did this rating of this hotel at 9.4/10, but 7/10 would be nearer the mark. Fantastic view over Dardanelles. Apparently it’s winter now, in spite of the temperature being 23C & the room’s like a sauna, the A/C didn’t work. Luckily the windows opened, which helped a bit. Rooms were 1970’s brown. Big room, but not welcoming. Hot water came out of washbasin tap like a dribble, cold gushed out. Shower only worked for first person. Washbasin didn’t empty, had to call engineer. Dining area very noisy like a school canteen. Staff spoke very little English. The fridge was in a metal unit that looked like my mum’s meat-safe from the 1950’s. The hotel is in several blocks with very poor signage

“Three-star hotel - not five”

First off, not a 5-star hotel. I just came from a legitimate 5-star hotel (the Caresse in Bodrum) and this is no 5-star hotel. At best, I would give this hotel 3 stars. The rooms - average, with a small bathroom. AC doesn’t really work. The room temp didn’t drop by 1 degree overnight, and the ther… lisää

First off, not a 5-star hotel. I just came from a legitimate 5-star hotel (the Caresse in Bodrum) and this is no 5-star hotel. At best, I would give this hotel 3 stars. The rooms - average, with a small bathroom. AC doesn’t really work. The room temp didn’t drop by 1 degree overnight, and the thermostat shuts the unit off after 15 minutes of sensing inactivity in the room. That means that unless you jump out of bed every 15 minutes, no AC for you. Comfortable bed, decent pillows, tiny bathroom with only the basic amenities. We had a nice sea view. Service - somewhere between indifferent and mediocre. Front desk clerk never cracked a smile. No bellman to bring bags up. Food - The fish restaurant was one of two (out of five) open, and the service there was good, although they said they’d filet the fish we ordered and after serving said they wouldn’t do it. Cigarette smoke everywhere. The fish was good, as were the fries and zucchini chips. Red mullet was priced at $120USD/Kg, most expensive by far I’ve ever seen. Atmosphere was basic cafe style restaurant. Overall, the hotel may have started life out as a 5-star property, but now it’s all worn out and the age is really showing.
