It was very hard for me to write about the property. because I was so happy to be my friends, I did not care much about the CONS.
PROS:
The place and area are very promising.
Very close to Istanbul. So, it is not hard to get there for a weekend getaway
Food was wonderful. Great and rich selection of open buffet.
I learned that they are renovating floor by floor the hotel. Top 3 floors were already renovated, but we did not have the opportunity to see those rooms.
The roof bar was excellent with good selections, view and life music, but it is not advertised very well by the hotel crew. They were so reluctant to give information.
The SPA was also very good. I suggest enjoying at least one massage.
The ski slopes look good, but I am not an expert on that. I enjoyed sitting at a cafe, drinking my spicy wine with grilled sausage, while I was watching the beautiful view of the white mountains.
CONS:
Instead of investing into the hotel, owner was more generous to the daily visitors, who are coming to ski. But at least they are trying to improve the rooms.
The staff was trying to do their best, but you could see the shortage of employees, especially the experienced staff. Inside and outside of the hotel.
The rooms were pretty clean in the hotel, but you could see that they need a good renovation.
