Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Gardan Hotel is appreciated for its spacious rooms, some feeling more like suites, and its convenient location near shopping malls and various facilities. Many guests enjoyed the swimming pool. While the breakfast receives mixed feedback, with some finding it not very tasty, the hotel's proximity to restaurants, cafes, and supermarkets reachable on foot is generally considered a plus; plus, a MADO Restaurant is just a 10-minute walk away. Some guests have noted that the TV mainly offers Turkish channels.

Fantastic Stay!

great service helpful staff clean room nice pool

Customer service was GREAT, and I found the staff very helpful whenever I needed assistance. The team worked fast, addressing any concerns efficiently. The pool area was a highlight. I spent considerable time there. The room was clean and well kept. This contributed positively to my overall experience.

The water flow in the bathroom was a SLIGHT issue. It ran very slowly.
