I stayed at Grand Aras Hotel & Suites for a few nights and my experience was quite mixed. The hotel's location in Sisli is excellent, close to Cevahir Mall and public transport, which really made getting around easy. However, I encountered issues with the room cleanliness upon check-in, which was disappointing. Although the staff, particularly Mr. Hasan, were friendly and helpful, the overall dining experience, especially breakfast options, left much to be desired. 🏨⚠️
