Grand Hotel Palmiye

Hotel très moyan

Great location, great staff, room a little shabby and very dated

Pros: easy check-in and friendly front desk fellow who spoke English, working AC with remote, warm comforter and pillows, linens were changed every two days, free slippers (unfortunately I felt I needed them because of the bugs), location (close to Istiklal) but still surprisingly quiet. Cons: wifi stopped working, some bugs both big and small, stains in shower and on bathroom cabinet, no hand towel, stains on towels and bath mats, water didn’t stay hot, room smelled musty, fridge didn’t work and smelled, no safe, and the room was so small that the wardrobe couldn’t open, the door hit the bed. I appreciated getting to stay somewhere for cheap on short notice but if you have other options I wouldn’t recommend this hotel.

J’ai réservé trois nuitées. Dès mon arrivée, j’ai trouvé la chambre d’hôtel sale, les draps étaient tachés et l’eau était coupée. Le personnel à la réception parle d’une manière très désagréable, comme si on venait leur demander un service. J’y ai passé seulement une nuit et je suis partie le lendemain, en renonçant aux deux autres nuitées.
