Ada Karakoy Hotel - Special Class

The hotel smells lovely, reception is decorated nicely too. The location is excellent, couldn't have been better really for us on the European side. The room was very clean, the bathroom less so but was OK to use. It was easy to come and go as we pleased. I got the impression that the hotel probably compares favourably with other hotels in the area. Breakfast was quite good, we both managed to find enough food that we liked to fill us up for the day. We usually skip lunch on holiday and the breakfast was plentiful enough for us to wait until the evening to eat again. The bed was very comfortable, nice and firm.

Of the two reception staff, one was odd and generally made us feel awkward every time we walked through reception. He'd just stand still and watch us. The other guy was lovely and helpful. There was black mould on the shower and the room was poorly ventilated without the window being wide open. It was hard to get dry after a shower without having the window open because of the humidity. The bathroom was very small and pokey but this is reflected in the photos so I was expecting it. One of the pillows was lumpy but my husband didn't mind so we swapped.
