Grand S Hotel

..

Nice hotel. Gym require upgrade, machines don't work, not clean and changing room very small, no towels. Breakfast is good (will be nice to add fresh orange juice). Reception staff Mr Mohammad and Mr Ozgul are polite and helpful - hence increased rating. Please note considerable traffic noise day and night. Mosques are near, metro and coach station 7 mins walk, coach to airport only 280 TL and metro 26 TL to 57 TL per journey (east and west Istanbul). Shopping area 6 mins walk. Forum mall 20 mins walk or 2 mins on metro. We found this hotel to be valued for money, staff are nice. Recommend it.

The receptionist was very kind, he let us check in early. The breakfast was good and had variety. When we walked in, we were welcomed by insufferable heat. The ventilation is absolutely horrible, we had to open the windows. And we couldn’t even sleep with them open because of excessive noise. The beds are old, and are uncomfortable. Don’t recommend if you have back problems. The pillows are old, and the blankets are thin and harsh, resembling restaurant napkins more than something to sleep with. The refrigerator didn’t refrigerate properly, which is disappointing considering the giant piece of ice that formed in it. Even the curtains weren’t complete. The photographer did a good job, because he managed to scam us into thinking the rooms were big. There was no space, and walls are unacceptably thin. You could hear all your neighbours when they were in the bathroom. Super tight space. Toilet was a little dirty and lid kept falling on our backs. It doesn’t even resemble a hotel, more like a motel or noisy house with people coming and going. Wish I paid attention to the bad reviews. They were so right!

Yes the room was clean Helpful staff I’m happy with the gym but not happy with service there in the spa

Excellent staff
