Harbiye hotels from RM269

"Although the city was decimated by two earthquakes within nine hours of each other, 2 1/2 years ago, the hotel was clean, with comfortable beds, excellent showers, air conditioning that worked, and a friendly helpful staff. The typical Turkish breakfast had about 40 items, very healthy and delicious. The town is rebuilding and this hotel was great."

"Built on top of Roman ruins, this is the most unique hotel I have ever stayed in. The architecture is in a class of its own."

"The appearance of the hotel, including the breakfast dining area, and my room is rustic (in a nice way) and tasteful. There are, however, a number of issues, detailed below. The city is doing its best to rebuild the area around the hotel, and the loss in property due to the earthquake appears to be substantial and people have suffered greatly. The roads on Google Map do not reflect that a lot of the roads are out of commission and passable only to heavy construction vehicles. The hotel should have, *MINIMALLY*, warned guests of this fact and provided details instructions on how to get to the hotel. Being a solo driver, it was hard to deal with the traffic, Google Maps complaining that I was taking a different route, and finding an alternate way to get to the hotel. I ended up parking 10 minutes away and hiking with my bags to the hotel, only to discover that it *WAS* possible to park near the hotel if instructions had been provided. The other dings against the hotel are: (1) no wifi reception on the top floor, (2) hallway lights on the top floor do not work and I had to use the light on my phone to find my room door number, (3) the interface for the air conditioner in the room was really odd, despite being in English, and it didn't warm up the room at all, and I was compelled to bundle up with an extra layer for the night."

"Thank you for everything "

"They do not have in house laundry like is says"

"Es wird eine gute Arbeit unter schwierigsten Bedingungen geleistet. Ein großer Teil der Umgebung ist vom Erbeben 06.02.2023 zerstört und bisher nur teilweise geräumt. Ich war bei den Menschen dort sehr gut aufgehoben. Nur wenn Gäste kommen verdienen sie dort notwendiges Geld. Vielen Dank. "
