Pros:

My previous review covers everything. But when I returned for two nights Emin was on duty and helped me in every way to have a more comfortable stay than previously. He is a real asset to an otherwise poor hotel.

Cons:

Still had to ask for a second towel which Emin provided and which was dry and warm - not like the other damp and cold ones.

Cons:

I arrived late evening and had booked a private shuttle confirmed by hotel with video but no record of my name when I got to the airport meeting point, total chaos. Finally took cab from outside airport TL2400 which is average price. 

Reception had limited English. Told I was given a triple bedded room which I could change the next day. Room was totally unsuitable, so cramped, wardrobe was like a sports locker nowhere to put things. Can't imagine how 3 people could fit in. I had booked in January  a standard double or twin and do not want to change rooms because the hotel messes up the booking. No water available even to buy. Told to go to the nearby shop. Not given wifi password which isn't even in the room. Ready finally for a shower to find there were no towels. Third visit to reception and given 2 damp and cold towels.

Situation better the next day thanks to Emin who spoke good English and took care to resolve all the issues. The towel issue persisted. They must keep them in the fridge to preserve them cold and damp, and clearly do not have enough to supply everyone without having to wash them for the next guest without enough time to dry them.

I spent one night away and returned for a further two nights. Luckily Emin was on the desk and ensured I had everything. Despite his great customer care the hotel lacks basic things which you have to ask for. I would not return.
