Westside Residences by Rotana

Good but need some improvements ( room furniture dilapidated, kitchen cabinets empty you need to order each item you need and housekeeping not meet 5 start hotel standard ). Also, we try the breakfast buffet and the chef for omelette was mad and not respecting guests orders.

The good points about the hotel is that it has a welcoming feeling. Beautiful entrance. Very helpful friendly staff. Unfortunately this was one of the worst experiences I've had. We started unpacking and noticed the floors where pasted with dust. The inside of the cupboards where so dirty we had to rewash our clothes. When i went to use the bathroom it had old faeces in the toilet. The sofa was tiny in a 2 bedroom apartment and had stains all over it. We took pics showed the manger house keeping came and admited that the room was not checked. They then gave us an"upgrade" to a newly renovated 2 bedroom. However the upgrade only had 1 extra bed And they had to bring 2 beds for my kids which made the place cramped. This apartment was also not cleaned it still had the grout dust on the floors and walls . The cleaning service's need to be reevaluated and they need training. 4 people cleaned in 5 min. and yet there was dust and dirt on the floor from when we moved in. I had to call them back to clean. Garbage stated outside doors for 2 days. For a 5 start hotel its actually a definite 2star. Won't stay there again. They disappoint the Rotana name I tried uploading photos it won't allow me.

My name is Michael from United States. I really love this hotel. Especially the people, aside their wonderful location and amenities. I feel like home away from home and I cannot recommend it enough. It is all made possible by the wonderful people like Onur, Gülsüm, Fatima and Seyit, at the restaurant/bar who made the dinning experience from breakfast to the 24 hour room service complete. I cannot stop without mentioning Beyzanur, Sude, Ceren, Yaprak, Esref and Nuroy. It’s a big family worth remembering and mentioning. They all made me feel like a king and leaving brought us all to tears. They are like those nice family members and I can never forget their hospitality. It was my second time at Rotana and the experience has even increased. If you are looking for a nice and clean hotel at the best location, Rotana at Westside Residences at the Mall of Istanbul is the one. Their wonderful staff at the front desk, the Restaurant/Bar, Kitchen, the Spa, House keeping, and management will never let you regret it. It’s one of the best!

I would recommend this hotel..I enjoyed my stay,but the house keeping can do better..and no utensils at all u have to call for them...but over all I had a wonderful stay my kids were happy there..i will be visiting again.

The apartment's rooms are very small, but the living room is nice and it has a washing machine as well, but Rotana did not succeed much with the apartments.

Room cleaning is poor, there are smells in the corridors, the door card system is faulty most of the time, there is no insulation, the location is far from services.
