6/10 Okay
Shahid, Aylesbury
Traveled with family
12 July 2024
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Family of 5 booked 3 x rooms for 3 nights.
Went for the cheapest rooms they had without a view.
The rooms were dated; marks on walks - felt a little dirty tbh. The day we arrived they had an exterminator spraying the rooms... not the best of timing when the new guests are walking into the rooms.
Negatives:
don't book the cheapest rooms; the other rooms looked better. They have a pool in the basement, BUT its not heated - the water was freezing! PLUS - we have never experienced this - we had to pay 100 lira EACH for a swimming cap, which no one looked at afterwards. A hidden tax in our opinion.
Steam room did not really work; they have a sauna which is small.
Small lobby area - the stairs seems to be filled with their items (cleaning stuff etc..) depending on lifts.
Good points:
Location is great close to Grand Bazar. Next to tram stop and a couple of stops up from the Blue Mosque.
Breakfast is simple - not too much hot stuff; more cold foods.
Would I stay here again - for a better room yes, but truthfully most probably not.
