Istanbulu birde Grand Balyandan seyredin
Pros:

Otelde geçirdiğimiz konaklamadan çok memnun kaldık. Her şey beklentimizin üzerindeydi. Odalar temizdi, En çok da güler yüzlü ve ilgili çalışanlar sayesinde kendimizi çok rahat hissettik. Her konuda yardımcı oldular ve misafirperverlikleri gerçekten takdire değerdi. Güzel bir tatil geçirmemizi sağladıkları için tüm ekibe teşekkür ederiz. Kesinlikle tekrar tercih edeceğimiz ve gönül rahatlığıyla tavsiye edebileceğimiz bir otel.

Ja som sa tu aj napriek nedokonalostiam cítila príjemne.
Pros:

Veľmi príjemný personál,výborná lokalita

Cons:

Hotel je vintage,ma svoju čarovnú atmosféru.Ale k vintage patrí aj vlažná voda na sprchovanie,zle zaizolovne steny,a svetlo ktoré preniká do vašej izby z chodby.Ranajky základne ale stále za tú cenu paráda.
