“5 stars- I don't think so”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 June 2008
3
people found this review helpful

This hotel is very tired at the edges. I can't agree with the reviewer who said only go to this hotel if you are on a tour, don't stay there then either; we were on a tour and it was the worst hotel we stayed in in Western Turkey, yet it had the highest star rating. It had no plusses; too far out of Ankara to be able to do any private sightseeing yet an unpleasant hotel.

Although on first appearance the room looked good, it was a decent size and had a balcony, on closer inspection it was very disappointing. The management needs to take a look at what their cleaners are doing; the balcony was filthy, the windows looked like no-one had ever cleaned them, surfaces were sticky or dusty and the bathroom was also dirty.
The toilet seat and lid fell off on first use (presumably just balanced there), the hairdryer was set up for a giant so had to be held high above the head to make it work and then burnt so hot it couldn't be held, the air conditioner would blow out only warm air, but on opening the windows we had to close them again because of an overwhelming smell of what can only be described as urine, maybe from a nearby farm, the corridors smelt of deisel fumes.

There was a good selection of food for dinner, but at breakfast empty containers such as yoghurt and cornflakes weren't refilled after a previous tour group had emptied them, so our group went without, also what little of things like yoghurt and cheese was there tasted very watery.

2 requests for more pillows went ignored, this was the same for others in the group. Also although the lifts look ok they aren't to be trusted, numerous people got stuck in them and although each time they started up again it was only after stressful waiting.
Quite a number of our group were given room changes because of various problems, e.g. balcony doors not closing, but were still dissatisfied.

“Five stars but NEVER on business”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 October 2007
3
people found this review helpful

If you are in business, never, never, never stay here. It is approximately USD 60 from the city center (one way). No shuttle, no public transportation at all. Absolutely nowhere to go outside the hotel, which is completely (And I mean it, completely) surrounded by wheat and corn fields. The only alternative for dinner is a poor, very poor open buffet with very limited choices. If you ask for "A la carte", the waiter says "Oh, yes, we will be pleased to take your order but it will take too much time as we are serving 800 people who have joined a conference here"...

This hotel carries five stars and just guess what might be the reason why Turkish authorities have rated like this. Unbelievable. The worst place that I have ever stayed in my life. The ONLY reason why you might stay here is the following: Having flown to Ankara late at night and a planned pick-up to another town (Say, Cappadocia, for example) very early in the next morning ONLY IF YOU HAVE JOINED A TOUR!...

“It's close to the airport, but........”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 July 2005
20
people found this review helpful

The Buyuk is a mere 10 minutes by taxi (and 15 TL or €9) from the airport, pretty much in the middle of nowhere.

First the good points: lots of parking and spacious rooms with small balconies.

On the other hand: No air conditioning (in all the rooms, not just mine) in late June/early July. 90 minutes to get a club sandwich on room service; then the tray sat outside my door for 26 hours. Laundry found after 8 days still untouched behind reception. 20TL (€12) for 4 black coffees at 06.30 as breakfast wasn't yet open.

When the hotel is busy there is a buffet for lunch and dinner which was pretty good with lots of fresh salads. The a la carte on other evenings was an overpriced disaster.

I will try somewhere else next time.
