"Initially, we stayed in a super king room on the 3rd floor, which had a bathtub. However, the hot water only reached about 45-46 degrees Celsius, which was a bit insufficient, though it wasn't uncomfortably cold.
Later, we moved to a suite on the 26th floor. Okan, Sinan, and Zeunap were incredibly helpful and upgraded our room for free. This meant we had a washing machine and a refrigerator, perfect for washing clothes after more than a week of travel. The washer-dryer combo was very convenient. Moreover, the view from the higher floor room was excellent, and there was absolutely no noise. The bedroom and living room were separate, so I highly recommend requesting a room on a higher floor if possible.
Also, breakfast at 9 AM and 10 AM are completely different experiences; make sure to go at 9 AM. I found the 10 AM breakfast offerings less appealing, especially for those with a preference for Chinese-style breakfast. At 9 AM, the selection is much richer, with items like fried eggs, grapes, and more.
The hotel's location is also very convenient, with a metro station just a 10-minute walk away, providing easy access to the city center. You can even get your metro card directly at the station. Nearby, there are many large shopping malls, including 212 Outlet, which house huge supermarkets where you can buy cat food, unique local fruits, and bottled water. The top floor features a food court-like area where prices are much lower than in the old town, and the dining options are more akin to places locals frequent.
We were very lucky during our stay to encounter WTT, and we frequently ran into many table tennis players in the elevators. The hotel's gym is also excellent, with comprehensive facilities, including climbing machines."
