Βολική με άνεση και ικανοποιητική
Pros:

Κάθε μέρα μας άλλαζαν τα σεντόνια και καθάριζαν το δωμάτιο και το προσωπικό ήταν υπέροχο και πάρα ποκυ φιλικό ❤️

Cons:

Ήθελα η θερμαινόμενη πισίνα και η σάουνα να κλείνουν πολύ πιο αργά και όχι τόσο νωρίς γιατί δε προλαβαίναμε να την απολαύσουμε !!

Pros:

L'emplacement, le petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Beaucoup trop bruyant mauvaise insonorisation, mal entretenu, n'est pas du tout un 4 étoiles, après avoir fait 2 nuits dans un autre hôtel une rue après la comparaison est vite faite. Trop cher pour ce qu'il propose.

Pas comme sur les photos
Pros:

L’emplacement est vraiment parfait.
Le sauna est propre et chaud
4 personnes du personnel son adorable la responsable réactif même sur Booking , mais malheureusement les femmes de ménage il y a un vrai souci et le monsieur de l’accueil du spa.

Cons:

Le spa pas propre,piscine froide, la piscine extérieur été vide. Nous avions eu une chambre avec problème de canalisation l’odeur dans toute la chambre , nous avons été changé de chambre plus petite mais propre d’apparence . Mais la literie un vrai problème tacher donc nous l’avons signalé , le ménage a été « fait » nous avons eu une couette encore plus petite mais le draps pas changer , taie d’oreiller manquante. Le petit déjeuner si vous aimer les reste de la veille en plat chaud vous serez servie. Et si vous aimer les salade à composer vous serez servie et endroit très bruyant

اسواء مكان إقامة لي في تركيا
Pros:

موقع الفندق جيد في السلطان أحمد

Cons:

غير نظيف ، التكييف لا يعمل نهائياً. الشراشف فيها بقع دم وطلبنا التغيير ولكن لم يتم النظافة مع دخول العمال دون اذن للغرفة، غطاء كرسي الحمام مكسور وتسبب بقرص الفخذ ، الغرف رطبة و فيها رائحة مجاري.
الحجز شامل الإفطار مجاناً مع توفير موقف للسيارة مجاناً ، تم توفير الفطور و الأطباق كانت مكسورة الأطراف، ولم يوفروا موقف للسيارة وتم دفع مبلغ 30 يورو لليوم الواحد تعجيل الخروج قبل الظهر

v turecku jsem v mnoha hotelech nebyla, tak nevim …
Pros:

hotel je minutku od vlaku, metra i tramvaje a 5 minut od lodni dopravy.
Uklid probihal denne.
Bufetova snidane byla dobra.
Turecka lazen ma vyhrivane plochy na ležení a je to prostorna mistnost, vnitrni bazen ma prijemnou teplotu, finska sauna dobra.
Hotel ma velkou vyhlidkovou terasu 360, vidite i na vodu, skoda ze se setmenim ji zamknou.
Klimatizace fungovala dobre.
Jednou byla vecere bufetova, pak uz jen servirovali neco v restauraci (priste bych volila jen snidani, protoze v okoli je spousta moznosti jak se najist presne podle vlastni chute)

Cons:

Slaba zvukova izolace, slysite vse od sousedu.
Zadne odvetrani v koupelne, zadne, musite vetrat pres pokoj!? S tim souvisi ze jsem stale citila z koupelny odpady.
Musela jsem vysvetlovat ze uz jsem zaplatila, nebo ze mam polopenzi, nevedeli to. Ale to asi souvisi s mistni povahou :)
Hotel ma zrekonstruovanou recepci, ale pokoje ne.
V hotelovem wellness nehledejte relax, vetsinou je obsazene jecicimi behajicimi detmi. Taky jsem si nevsimla ze by se sprchovali ze sauny, skakali rovnou do bazenu, neni tam zadny “dozor”.
Pri odjezdu mi recepcni napsal na listek sve cislo, ze kdyz dam hotelu 10 bodu v hodnoceni a odeslu mu to jako dukaz, daji mi priste krasny pokoj.
