Top European Side Hotel Reviews

The Grand Tarabya Managed by Accor

8/10 Good

"It was a nice stay, but the reception greeting and the check-in process were quite amateurish. After making us wait for the room to be cleaned, they forgot to let us know when it was ready. If I hadn't gone and asked, I would have just kept waiting. When I pointed this out, it didn't even cross the staff member's mind to apologize, which was quite bizarre."
