Categories

Cleanliness
5
Mixed reports: several guests praised cleanliness and quiet, but a detailed review described severely unhygienic rooms (mould, stained linen, dust, dirty fixtures) and multiple failed room changes, so cleanliness is rated below average.
Service
10
Consistently praised across languages: multiple guests highlighted friendly, attentive staff (explicit mentions of Malik and Lale, warm reception and genuine hospitality). Language barriers noted in some cases but overall staff attitude is a major positive.
Location
10
Frequently noted as a key strength: central location, close to metro and bazaar, ideal for tourism and shopping, easy access to sights — repeatedly described as very convenient.
Room Quality
5
Problematic for some guests: reports of damaged wallpaper, rusty fittings, missing shower door and poor room condition in at least one stay; other guests had satisfactory rooms, so overall quality is rated below average.
Amenities
9
Some positive mentions (rooftop/attic with views, varied offerings, good air conditioning in rooms). Not universally detailed, but multiple guests highlighted amenities positively.
Value for Money
7
Mixed: many guests felt location and staff added value, but at least one guest incurred extra expense to find alternative accommodation due to hygiene issues, reducing perceived value.
Food and Beverage
6
Mostly unmentioned, but one guest explicitly called breakfast 'very poor', so F&B is rated slightly below the overall target.
Overall Experience
8
Overall mixed but leaning positive: numerous guests praised staff, location and hospitality, creating memorable stays, while a minority experienced severe cleanliness/room issues that significantly impacted their trip.

Very bad experience
Cons:

We were extremely disappointed with our experience at Dundar Hotel & Spa. The hotel advertises itself as newly renovated, but the reality was completely different.

The first room we were given was extremely dirty, with damaged wallpaper, dust on the furniture, stained bed linen, and a bathroom that had clearly not been properly cleaned or disinfected. The grout was covered in black mould, and the sink and taps were dirty. After reporting this to reception, we were shown a second room, which was in almost identical condition, with dirty bedding, damaged wallpaper, rusty bathroom fittings, and even a missing shower door.

At that point we lost all confidence in the hotel’s hygiene standards. The staff were unfriendly, did not apologise, and communication was very difficult due to the language barrier. Although we were offered a third room, we refused because basic cleanliness should never require multiple attempts.

We did not spend a single night in this hotel. Instead, we had to find another accommodation at our own expense because we could not accept sleeping in such unhygienic conditions. The following day, we decided to end our trip and return home.

This hotel does not match the description or photos on Booking.com, and we cannot recommend it to anyone.

Un hôtel qui tourne avec du personnel formidable . Mériterait d être un peu entretenu ( plomberie ampoules et )
Pros:

Le personnel est très serviable , même si en cuisine tout le monde ne comprend pas l anglais
La piscine et le sauna sont un vrai plus
Le petit dej est délicieux et pour tous les goûts

Cons:

La chambre était petite pour 3 lits. La porte de douche était manquante. Et le robinet était descellé. Le frigo ne faisait quasiment pas de froid
Les ampoules de la piscine sont défectueuses donc bain dans la pénombre

Иногда впечатление о поездке создают не только красивые места, но и люди, которых встречаешь. Спасибо этому отелю за те
Pros:

Иногда впечатление о поездке создают не только красивые места, но и люди, которых встречаешь.

Спасибо этому отелю за теплый прием и искреннее гостеприимство. ❤️

Очень удобная локация — рядом метро, до центра и основных достопримечательностей можно было легко добраться. Для нас это было большим плюсом.

Но больше всего запомнились сотрудники. Каждый день встречали с улыбкой, интересовались, как прошел день, желали хорошего отдыха. Такое внимание к гостям оставляет самые приятные воспоминания.

Спасибо за уют, заботу и атмосферу, в которую хочется вернуться. До новых встреч, Турция! 🇹🇷✨
