Kuzey Yildizi

Nice and clean hotel. Friendly helpful staff. Central and beautiful view. Ease of transportation to everywhere and rotation advantage. Spacious and large room. Breakfast is sufficient. Clean respectful staff. There is a currency exchange office under the hotel for those coming from abroad.

Wow, I felt like I was in a state run holiday center of some old communist regimen. The hotel was unheated although the outside temperature was 8C / 40F ish. The first night the electric heater that was in my room malfunctioned and the light wool blanket did not cut it. I ended up sleeping in my jacket and snow pants. I could go on and on about how I did not like it, but hey what do you want for about $35/night.

The hotel was really bad, when we arrived they forgot our reservation so they gave us a room on a floor where "they normally don't rent rooms". This room was dirty, the sink didn't work well, there were holes in the wall and so on... After the first night there we got a new room which was better on the first sight but then we tried the toilet and... of course it didn't work. So we got ANOTHER room where finally everything worked. On the third day we also wanted our room to be cleaned (the cleaning lady forgot apparently although she was right in the next room when we left and we put the sign for cleaning on the door knob) - I told the clerk in the early afternoon and he said okay no problem but after we got back to the room in the evening there was still the sign on the door knob and nothing was cleaned. So just one recommendation: DON'T GO THERE. At least if you want to spend a nice holiday there...
