تجربة سيئة جدًا؛ الماء متسخ وغير صالح للاستخدام، ووجدت ملابس داخلية للضيف السابق في الغرفة! إهمال واضح في النظافة ولا أن
Pros:

تجربة سيئة ومخيبة للآمال بكل المقاييس. وصلت إلى الغرفة لأجد ملابس داخلية للضيف السابق، وهذا بحد ذاته دليل واضح على أن الغرفة لم يتم تنظيفها وتجهيزها بالشكل المطلوب. والأسوأ من ذلك أن الماء يخرج من الصنبور بهذه الصورة العكرة والملوثة، وهو أمر غير مقبول إطلاقًا في فندق يفترض أن يوفر أبسط معايير النظافة والسلامة.

كيف يُسمح بتسليم غرفة لنزيل جديد وهي بهذه الحالة؟ وكيف يمكن الوثوق بمستوى النظافة بعد العثور على ملابس شخصية للضيف السابق؟

هذه ليست ملاحظة بسيطة، بل إهمال واضح في النظافة والخدمة. دفعت مقابل إقامة يفترض أن تكون مريحة ونظيفة، وليس لأكتشف بنفسي أن الغرفة لم تُنظف والماء غير صالح للاستخدام. أتمنى من إدارة الفندق التعامل مع الموضوع بجدية، لأن مثل هذه التجربة تسيء لسمعة الفندق وتفقد النزيل الثقة فيه. لا أنصح بالسكن فيه قبل معالجة هذه المشاكل بشكل فعلي.

Cons:

سيء والا انصح فيه ابدا

An unforgettable stay in Istanbul
Pros:

I loved everything about my stay. The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are lovely and very comfortable, and the location is absolutely perfect for exploring Istanbul. I especially appreciated that the hotel contacted me in advance to help arrange my airport transfers, which made my arrival and departure so easy. Above all, the staff were exceptional — incredibly kind, welcoming and always willing to help. A special thank you to Metin for his outstanding attention and kindness. He truly made my stay even more enjoyable.
