We used this hotel as part of a tour through Travel Talk. We have done tours through Travel Talk before and always been more than happy with the accommodation, but this hotel was so disappointing. The location was pretty good, but that's the only positive. Staff were rude and unhelpful. Rooms were small, noisy and unclean. Breakfast was very average,... More

This ruined my sleep the first night. Apart from that coffee at breakfast was terrible. Still, there is something positive to say: Front desk area is... More

Grand Tahir Hotel is located near the tram station, it is clean but rooms are tiny.. I have been to another 3 stars hotel before but rooms were better and with balcony. You can hardly move in the bathroom. Breakfast is fine, same every day. Some of the reception staff are friendly but not all as they don't speak English.... More

Nothing is missing in the room but it's just the basics. Don't expect anything more! No good views - rooms are narrow same as bathroom. Room service is good. Staff are helpful. No safe in the rooms .. If you wanna leave your valuable stuff, leave them at reception's safe. In brief, it's not recommended for honeymoon. It's good if... More
