"The rooms were a little unclean. Especially on the first night our room seemed unclean i.e. bed sheets, flooring and bathroom. Soon as I brought it to the receptionist, she immediately changed the room"

Avis de Mahmood Divas Hotel

Avis de Anikó Art City Hotel Istanbul

"The staff were very helpful, especially Khalil, and the rest of the team were supportive as well. The location is excellent."

Avis de Nayla Cheya Deluxe Residence Nisantasi Istanbul City Center

"I will write same as I wrote at google review: Grand Blue Sky Hotel in Kuşadası is truly exceptional. The rooms are spacious with a magnificent view of the sea and the hotel’s beautiful garden. The cleanliness throughout the hotel is impeccable. The housekeeping staff do an excellent job, and any request we made was fulfilled within ten minutes by the reception. The pools are exceptionally clean and regularly maintained. The food in the restaurants is diverse and delicious, and although not as extensive as in some higher-category hotels, everything offered is absolutely tasty. The staff is dedicated and very helpful. The garden is stunning, filled with vibrant flowers and well-maintained. I highly recommend this hotel to everyone, and it’s definitely worth the money."

Avis de Djenita The Grand Blue Sky International - All Inclusive

"Clean rooms, all appliances are in place and working, groceries around."

Avis de Valiyev Cheya Taksim BNB Gumussuyu Istanbul City Center Comfort Residence

"The apartment was really convenient for the purpose of our stay. We needed something close to the hospital Ota&Jinemed and this was really good location. Actually it's just like its name says - medical center, close to many hospitals on Nişantaşị. Although the apartment was a bit smaller than we booked, we really liked it because we wanted something with "home" vibe and this was the place. It has facilities like washing machine and dishwasher and other things you may need if you stay longer but consider that you need to buy detergents and similar needs. Also, there are many shops, bars and restaurants just a few minutes walk from the apartment so it's also good location in that way. All in all, good place!"

Avis de Manjgo Cheya Sisli BNB Medical & Business City Center Tesvikiye Suites and Apartments

"The staff were very friendly and helpful, especially mustafa. The food was amazing and the drinks were very good. The view is stunning from rooms and by the pool. The spa is very good."

Avis de Tyrone Ramada Plaza Antalya

"Writing We had a very pleasant stay at the hotel. The staff at the front desk were very friendly and helpful, especially Omer and Husein, who made us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. The location is excellent — only about a 10-minute walk to Hagia Sophia, around 3 minutes to the Grand Bazaar, and just 2 minutes from the tram station, which makes getting around Istanbul very easy. The beds were comfortable and the room was clean. Breakfast was also good, with a nice selection to start the day. Overall, it’s a great choice if you want a comfortable stay in a very convenient location in the heart of Istanbul."
