Grand Babil Otel

This was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in , in Turkey. Everything was not functioning well. The bathroom door was hitting the toilet bowl and there was no curtains for the shower area. The breakfast was very bad and limited to one plate per person. It was arranged by the person in the kitchen. The only person that was helpful was the daytime manager and he took care of us. Also, I was told of the free parking but it was a very limited space and I was having a difficult time getting into the parking space. Also the place does not look clean and it needs a lot of maintenance work.

Great location in one of the oldest cities in the world. I would definitely recommend staying here if you come

We have reserved 2 family rooms for 4 adults and 2 kids over *******.com. When arrived, the hotel management tried to give us 2 double rooms which was different than our reservation. We have objected to that, but he was insisted that we have wrong reservation even we have shown our written confirmed one. Finally, they have fixed with giving headache to us!

The person at the reception when I arrived was so kind, nice, and helpful with a smiling face all the time. The room was good clean and big enough. But there was no window, its totally closed and only outside contact is the door. Was a little bit hardfor me because the lightining in the room was alao not good. I mean because of its nature (old stone house renovated) it was cool when the weather is +40 C, and being totally shaded is helpful but if it was a longer stay I wouldnt stay in that room as no window and you only see the walls. The lights were really dim. Besides, the location is good, calm not close to central traffic or daily noises but close enough to walk center and historic places. There was breakfast included our stay but bevause they start very late we couldnt have breakfast. The time for brekfast should have been longer and starts earlier.

The manager was wonderful. The bathroom was a little weird. Breakfast presentation was not good I enjoyed my stay.

Grand Babil Otel is excellent value and very comfortable - although the double rooms are VERY small. The airconditioning is perfect for the Urfa heat and the staff were friendly and accommodating, especially in letting us use the kitchen to make meals. It's a very convenient position - all major attractions within easy walking distance, as well as local supermarkets and a large mall. I would recommend the Grand Babil Otel to anyone traveling to Urfa.
