        Rooms: The room I stayed in was good, clean, and everything required by us was accommodated for. Service: The staff at the hotel were one of the nicest people I have met in Turkey. I would even like to name a couple and describe others since some of the names escape me right now: There was Ali at the door, he was always nice, helpful, and served to our needs with a smile. There’s another gentleman at the door as well, his name I do not know but he was really great as well, very nice and helpful. Another younger gentleman at the reception desk with long hair and glasses, he was extremely nice, helpful and polite. And lastly, the manager Yelda. The lady was very professional, attentive, and very gracious in my interactions with her. For me, the people I interact with are the sum of my journey to any location, and the people at this hotel definitely made my stay memorable. the location: It’s good since it is close and central to everything but never actually in anything, but personally like it that way. The not-so-good is that it is in what I presume an automotive service area. I did not care that much since whether it was this hotel or another, I would use it to sleep and have my breakfast and then explore the city.

        While the location is prime, I found the rooms quite outdated and in need of a refresh. Additionally, communication was a challenge during my stay. The staff and concierge had noticeable difficulties with English, which was surprising given the hotel's tourist-centric location in Turkey, a major tourist destination. An improvement in language skills among the staff would greatly enhance the experience for international guests. The GYM is basic, and opens only at 8 AM, plus you have to pay for water. There is Uber readily available at the hotel, and without traffic, you should be able to get it from the airport in under 30 minutes.

        It's the worst Crown Plaza I've ever been in. Even though check-in went smoothly and we upgraded our room to a three-bedroom, when we arrived, there were just two beds. They then added an additional bed, which I have included a picture l with this review. The bed was centuries-old, worthless, and extremely uncomfortable. The soap holder in the washroom was rusted. The drapes are completely ripped and give us the idea that we are at a one-star hotel. Even the sofa had spots on it, and I'm quite sure no one cleaned the rooms at all. I'm curious if the hotel has a manager or not. I have my doubts. Even the halls on the 11th level, where we were living, reeked of garbage cans. I will never stay at this motel again. Because of its location, I give it a one. Everything else about this hotel is a nightmare.

        We stayed five nights at this hotel. Everything was great! The receptionist quickly sorted out our check-in despite our late arrival after the midnight. The room was clean and tidy. The room service was great. The breakfast was superb. The staff were nice, helpful, and approachable. It's close to the Osmanbay metro station, but you have to walk up the hill. You can find a vibrating neighborhood full of bars and restaurant between the hotel and the metro station. The hotel is surrounded by garages which didn't any harm. They close early, and the street is yours! Further, you can't expect the view of lions and parrots when you stay at a hotel located in the middle of a huge city. This is the fourth time I stayed at a Crowne Plaza hotel for an important mission, and it never disappoints me.

        It was supposed to be a 5 stars hotel. But it's far from that. The carpet were dirty as well as the windows. The room was clean but old and degraded. Everything we touched, fall. The hotel need a major renovation. Breakfast was okay but the staff keep taking our plate even if we didn't finish eating. It was impossible to charge the room for smth from the bar. Baran from the reception was very helpful and kind. The only one from the staff who is competent. The spa section was good enough and the staff there was nice. The location is good not far from Taksim square.
