Reviews and Ratings
This hotel was a great choice for our ski trip, offering easy access to the slopes right from the ski room and an impressive dining experience. While the rooms were cozy and comfortable, some were a bit small. The spa facilities were a nice touch for relaxing after a day on the slopes, although the amenities could be better mentioned.
My stay at the Grand Kartal Hotel was a delightful experience, especially for us first-time winter sports enthusiasts. The food options were plentiful and high quality, and we loved having direct access to the ski slopes from the hotel. However, some rooms were a bit small for our taste and the heating might be too much, even with windows open during the night. Overall, it was a great spot for skiing, just a little quirky in some areas.
Our stay at this hotel was wonderful, especially for our first skiing experience. The accessible ski equipment management and delectable food variety made everything so easy and enjoyable. Our room was spacious and comfortable enough, though it could get a bit warm at times. Also, I wish there were more bars available on-site as we found ourselves limiting our time to the lobby bar.
Our stay at this hotel was absolutely delightful! The food selection was exceptional and kept us satisfied throughout our visit. The staff went above and beyond in assisting us, although there were slight language barriers. The location was perfect for skiing right from the hotel, but the decor could use a modern touch. Overall, this was a fantastic vacation spot.
This hotel offers an ideal escape for winter sports lovers, providing direct access to the slopes which is fantastic. The buffet dining experience is truly exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious options. However, some rooms felt a bit cramped and there were occasional communication issues with the staff regarding ski equipment that led to extra charges. Overall, the charm of the hotel's retro ambiance and its excellent food makes it worthwhile.
