Ramada Hotel & Suites by Wyndham Istanbul Atakoy

The Hotel is situated in Bakirkoy just next to two shopping malls and was perfect for our meeting, as it was just few blocks away from its site. The area is very European and completely different from the Touristic parts of Istanbul. It is very close to the sea and the room had nice view. The sauna in the spa-center is quite big and there was not many guests around. It is good that it works until 10 PM, so you can use it after the long day. The bad was big enough and quite comfortable.

Actually, many things. I have been to other RAMADA hotels in Istanbul and there is huge difference. The room supposed to be King-Size with appx. 35 m2. Our room was quite normal double room with additional space for small table and seat. Far away from 35 m2. The furniture was very old and together with carpet requires renovation. The food was very basic and I would rather compare it to 3* hotel instead of 5*. Some bread products were re-heated from the previous breakfast, which is not-acceptable for the name of the Hotel. Once some fruits were missing at the table, they were not re-filled. The pool is quite small and the temperature of the water is not appropriate. You have to buy a cap as it is obligatory for swimming. Finally, the hotel lobby was very cold when we arrive - the answer was that there is small problem with the heating in it. Unfortunately, it has not changed in four days and it was almost impossible to seat there. I tried to work on my computer one afternoon and I had to go back to my room after only five minutes, as you feel as you seat outside. (the temperatures that weekend in Istanbul were only few Celsius above O.).
