Grand Hilarium Hotel

Its the best location if you have a car or without a car its near everything and its nice people especially the night shift.

The low yellow lamps and no car parking most of the time and its hot and no AC

Very good breakfast

The breakfast was almost the same, and not many varieties as European continental breakfast.No toast bread and a lot of hot food which is not breakfasting like chips and cooked egg with tomato which we are not used to. Also, the timing was very critical as they don`t have accommodation if you are 09.58 am they switch even the coffee machine I have seen that many times even we are standing to use it. The staff are very friendly and helpful except for one or two. Beechjet and Ufuk and another two porters were very helpful. Staff is no problems at all.

The hotel is overrated .it is listed as 4-star hotel but I don`t believe is 4 star as we know in Europe. I think it is 3 star with displayed pictured of Glamorazation.when we checked in the room was very old and furniture also. we complained and we were transferred to Delux room with Balcony.which was ok but not Delux by standard.we were surprised the Sauna is charged and also the Turkish bath. we did not use it. The swimming pool is so small does not look like the picture we saw.I believe 3 star is the right category. We have stayed in 3-star hotel in the UK and the room standards are far better than the rooms they have.No tea or coffee facilities in the room and when we ask they said they don`t supply. this even in 3 star hotel you find tea and coffee facilities. We were asked to pay the full amount of 12days upon check-in, and this was unusual as you give your card as a guarantee but the reception staff refused. this even we have not yet seen the room and the hotel, which we did not like but we already paid. I believe it is done for this reason. When we ask before we travel they said if you cancel before 23rd of December there is no charge, but if change after you pay 1 night we were charged 12nights in advance which we could not object.in nutshell do you your research if you plan to stay in this hotel it is diffidently not a 4-star hotel, I guess it is between 2-3 star with limitation.staff are very friendly.

Great bedrooms (expected as size). clean sheets and bathrooms. Breakfast is great but some of my friends were asking for a variety of choices instead of the same everyday. The neighborhood is great. A market and a cafe just across from the hotel. street markets are also around it only takes a 3 minute walk. An exchange is right next to the hotel with a great rate. the bathroom had warm water. the shower box was great. and their shampoo smelled good. (I did not see a conditioner) All the staff are very friendly, especially the person on morning duty at the reception.

The fridge didn't work. It sometimes even had blinking lights which is annoying at night. My only bad review is that. I personally liked everything else.
