Extremely poor service in all aspects.

Such an experience never again. We had extremely poor service from the Manager and his staff. 1.When we first checked in around 2 pm and went into our room, we wanted to have a hot cup of tea. There was tea bags, sugar and powder milk but no tea cups or saucers. We called the reception but was told that the kitchen was closed. 2. The TV had not a single channel working. When we rang the reception, we were told they would send someone to fix it. The next day a technician came but was unable to fix it. Then on the third day the Manager came with another technician. They were able to fix one local news channel in English. The same evening when we returned to our room, that single English Channel was not working. We told the Manager and he said he will have it fixed again but till the date we checked out the TV was not fixed. 3. On the third afternoon of our stay, I was on the lift to come up to our floor. When I got to the 7th floor of our room, the lift would not open. I was stuck inside the lift for 15 minutes frantically pressing the alarm button but no one came to help. Then a customer on the ground floor pressed for the lift, it then started to go down and it then the lift opened. It was a terrifying experience. 4. On the third day, we went down for breakfast at 9.15am ( it normally close at 10am).. There was no milk for our tea and when we asked for milk, we were told that it had finished. We complained to the Manager, he said sorry, no milk.

Horrible Experience – Stay Away! I recently stayed at Grand Star Hotel, and it was one of the worst experiences I've ever had. The room was absolutely filthy—dust everywhere, stained sheets, and a terrible smell that made it unbearable to stay in. The bathroom was even worse, with mold in the shower, dirty towels, and clogged drains. The staff was just as bad except one lady called ELANOR. They were rude, unhelpful, and completely indifferent to any complaints. you need to call the reception 100 times and they don't take any action. 29/1/2025

-2. katta verdikleri odada, internet çekmiyordu. Yapmaya çalıştılar ama yapamadılar. -3. katta başka bir oda vermeye kalktılar fakat izbe ve karanlık bir yer ayrıca sorumlu kişi CANER diye birisi, odayı gösterip çekip gitti. Ne anahtar verdi ne de eşyalarımızı alıp yeni odaya geçmemizde bize eşlik etmedi.Odaya geldiğimizde koridorda karanlıkta kalakaldık. Anahtar almak için Resepsiyona çıktığımızda neden bize eşlik etmediğini sorduğumuzda, onun işi olmadığını ve buraya gelip kendimizin anahtarı almamız gerektiğini söyledi. Tartışma çıkarttı,sesini yükseltti ve utanmadan tehtitler savurdu. Bu şikayetimizi otel müdürü Erdem beye de ilettik.Yani personel konusunda otel berbat ne yazıkki. Hiç iyi bir deneyim olmadı bizim için. Bir daha tercihte etmem.

Looked like a warzone. Dirty. Very deceptive. My children were rejected from the pool because of their age. My reservation clearly stated that children above 5 years are allowed and below 13 need a parent to watch them. The next morning they said that it was a 18+ years plus pool. They couldn't provide any info on where it stated that kids are not allowed. Elevators not working. Looked like a building site. Torches on the roof. Not safe.
