Wyndham Grand Istanbul Kalamis Marina Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Si nous pouvions, nous donnerions 10 étoiles à cet hôtel. Malgré le confort, la plupart des hôtels laissent souvent quelque chose à redire, mais pas celui-ci. Que ce soit le confort des chambres, la beauté du design, l’emplacement calme mais avec tout ce qu’il faut à proximité, la politesse et l’efficacité des employé(e)s… tout est excellent. Un merci particulier à messieurs Anday, Ümit et Özgür, qui ont fait preuve d’un excellent service pendant le séjour. Également à messieurs Adem et Barış, qui nous ont facilité le jour du départ avec nos bagages. Merci à tout le personnel. Merci Wyndham, et sans aucun doute à bientôt, pour une quatrième venue."
