Grand Romanos Hotel

Ve sprchovém koutě nebyla krytka světla, to je nebezpečné!

Tutto.
Pulizia: mediocre, servizio asciugamani solo per 2 persone su 3. La mia prenotazione prevedeva una camera tripla e una doppia che su Booking dovevano essere di 30mq e 25mq, ma erano due buchi che non raggiungono nemmeno i 10mq. Le foto presenti su Booking sono ingannevoli, rappresentano un arredamento carino e confortevole che in realtà non esiste. Soffione della doccia rotto in entrambe le camere, nessun kit bagno né shampoo/bagnoschiuma. Nel bagno non è presente nessun sistema dí areazione.Quarto piano senza ascensore, scale a chiocciola con ringhiera(poggia mano)dondolante.
Posizione: centrale ma mal collegata. Sultanahmet comoda per visitare le moschee, ma sono ben distanti dalla struttura. Fermata metro distante 10-15 min a piedi dalla struttura, bazar a 10min a piedi ma in salita. L’hotel si trova in un quartiere poco tranquillo, noi non abbiamo avuto alcun tipo di problema con le persone attorno, ma a prima impressione non sembra essere molto sicuro.
Personale: apparentemente gentile, ma all’arrivo ci ha chiesto il piacere di pagare in contanti, anziché con carta. Inizialmente abbiamo acconsentito ma il giorno dopo, rendendoci conto degli elevati tassi di cambio e prelievo contante all’estero, abbiamo richiesto nuovamente di pagare con carta (così come avevamo indicato su Booking al momento della prenotazione). Lì è uscita fuori la poca cortesia del titolare (credo) che ci ha dato degli imbroglioni perché italiani, nonostante avessimo cercato di spiegargli le nostre motivazioni.
Alla fine della conversazione, poco chiara per loro evidenti difficoltà linguistiche in inglese, il titolare ha accettato di farci pagare con carta, aggiungendo 2 euro al totale del prezzo da pagare di cui non mi interessa nemmeno sapere le motivazioni. Spero chiudano a breve o che mostrino le foto reali delle camere e dei servizi che offrono realmente.

The staff person didn’t want to comply and let us pay with credit card, he delayed our stay even though we explained we were only going to be a few hours in there. I would recommend this place.

El recepcionista se rio de que no entendieramos su inglés (mal pronunciado). Nos llevó a un edificio en la calle de al lado donde hay que subir 6 pisos por una escalera de caracol. La luz del baño no iba.

First was the old man at reception did not want to accept credit card so he had me walk 8 minutes to a money changer and when I changed to Turkish Lira he said he was expecting me to pay in euro. Next was the total amount was about 114€ but he kept insisting I paid 160 then later 150€ and he will give me a better room he said. He was only trying to squeeze me for more even if I knew there’s really only one room left. Then I was put in a different hotel a few doors around the corner and with all my things they had put me on the 6th floor with a very narrow staircase and no elevator. Furthermore the area of the location was the whole sale neighborhood of the market so it’s not as peaceful and clean as one would think. It was so noisy with trucks spewing diesel smoke.

With my 23kg suitcase and 2 carry-ons, I was put on the 6th floor with no lift so it was quite the labor. I only stayed for 4 nights. On the 5th day I transferred to a different hotel.

There was a lot of noise both outside and inside the hotel building, with people slamming main door and going up stairwell to rooms above all night. Very thin walls.

Electric kettle has a short cable, so it requires to build a pyramid from facilities to make hot water happen and circuit was inside.

Door handle is broken on 3rd floor, though we were promised to be fixed

Noisy, very small size for one family.no elevator
