VerbesserungswĂŒrdig: Ausstattung und Zustand der Unterkunft
I stayed 3 nights at the Baron Hotel in Istanbul and the experience was really disappointing. It started with the coffee bar in the lobby where the lady working there was rude, and the WiFi barely worked the whole time. My room was right under a loud restaurant, and even though the hotel lists all rooms as air-conditioned, the AC didnât work at all. I had to keep the window open 24/7 just to get some air, which meant constant noise from outside.
Basic amenities were also a problem. The soap dispenser was empty and never refilled, there was no water or tea kettle in the room, no tissue box, and not even a towel rack in the bathroom. The shower water turned cold after five minutes. The fitness center didnât open until 3:00pm, and the guy working there acted strange and even got angry that I was exercising with a long-sleeve shirt onâhe actually wanted me to take it off, which made no sense.
At the reception, only one girl spoke English; the men didnât and they didnât smile or engage with guests. Breakfast wasnât good eitherâvery few options and the boiled eggs were frozen cold. When I called around 7pm on a Saturday to ask about room service and the restaurant, they told me everything was closed.
Even the other guests behaved unusually; people stared in a weird way and the overall atmosphere just didnât feel like a normal luxury hotel experience.
Overall, nothing matched the way the hotel presents itself, especially the false claim that all rooms are air-conditioned
