Pros:

النظافة ، وسع الغرف ، house keeper

Cons:

طلبت من موظف الاستقبال الترقية ، وطلب مبلغ مالي كبير مقابل الترقية يفوق سعر حجز الغرفة ‼️
ومن ثم قلت له إنني عضو ذهبي وافاد انه لايوجد امكانية غرف حالياً علماً بأنه أفاد مسبقاً انه يوجد ولكن بعد دفع المبلغ..

J’ai réservé en confiance au sofitel, mais c’est tout sauf un sofitel.
Pros:

L’emplacement, la literie, la salle de bain, le restaurant

Cons:

Hôtel vieillot, mobilier très inconfortable et vraiment moche. Chambre beaucoup plus petite que prévue, les grandes baies vitrées sur le Bosphore se sont transformées en petite vue latérale. De plus les vitres étaient extrêmement sales, jusqu’à d’énormes crottes de goéland. Pour une chambre telle que prévue à la réservation, il fallait être au 8 eme étage sachant qu’au 9eme, il y a un club qui génère de grosses nuisances sonores. Nous étions au 4 eme et nous entendions… Gros problèmes d’insonorisation en général et pas de double porte. 1 petit emplacement pour 1 valise cabine, les autres valises étant ouvertes par terre.

Pros:

Staff very helpful. I left my phone in the taxi from the airport to this hotel. They sent 3 staff members on a mission to track down the taxi to find my phone. 40 minutes later my phone was returned.
