Unfortunately my stay at this hotel was not pleasant. They took payment before arrival even though it stated payment on arrival, then then decided to take 2 payments whilst I was still in Manchester. This confused me but I decided to deal with it on arrival into Istanbul, on my arrival they had two bookings unfortunately they said it had booked this via hotels.com this was completely unacceptable and I felt like I was being scammed, I did get my original booking refunded but ended up paying more for my room that I had booked. This is my first experience of this and it’s left a bitter taste. The staff on reception was extremely friendly and helpful but really my trust was broken. The hotel was clean and the room was nice, it’s a new hotel and building work is still going on. Would I stay there again. No never.
