The most racist, disrespectful and unprofessional place! I went to Istanbul for a vacation with my friend. The hotel offered us a room located at the highest floor of the hotel. The room that I booked was different than the one the receptionist gave it to me, but it was nice (it had a small sea view). From the early beginning, we encountered a problem with the elevator and we told repetitively the receptionist that we are being stuck, and he kept say okay and tamam. On the forth night, we were returning late and the elevator was stuck. We informed the receptionist and he was "very surprised and shocked" as if it was the first time we highlighted this to him and to other staff. He suggested that he go up to our room located at the sixth floor although I mentioned that it's not feasible as I recently had a surgery in my knee and it's will cause me severe pain. He then called one of his colleagues from the other branch and they checked it, but it was in vain. It was around 2 a.m. when the receptionist told us that we have 2 options: to take another room located on the lowest floor or to wait until 7 a.m. in the morning or to stay at the lobby. I was really mad about the approach and I requested to speak with the supervisor during his shift, as I explained that both of the two options were not feasible. Then he called someone claiming that he was his supervisor and when explaining what happened. He seemed to be clueless and doesn't know anything about the hotel. Then, I asked the receptionist to give me the name and the phone number of the manager to call him from my own phone as a proof, as he was obviously playing games. I called the manager Mr.Orhan, and I told him what happened and that's not acceptable and I want to do a check-out and have a refund especially that we were staying for 10 nights. The manager asked me about my nationality and when he knew that I was Lebanese or in Turkish "Arabça", he told me okay tomorrow you do a check-out and you take your money and he hung up the phone. I was personally shocked by this unprofessional behavior from the owner, and my friend recalled him explaining that there's no need for such behavior especially that it's the hotel fault not ours, and he hung up the phone again. By facing such racist behavior from the owner and the receptionist who was cursing me based on my ethnicity and nationality, we didn't feel safe at all. I went very slowly on the stairs until I arrived. (it's an old hotel that is renovated, so you can imagine the height of each stair). We packed our staff and honestly speaking we didn't sleep, as we felt we might be attacked by the receptionist at any time. Around 7 a.m. in the morning, we took our baggage using the same stairs (none of the receptionist or the room service offered any help) and we waited for the manager Mr. Orhan to come. Around 10 a.m. he came and he explained that the receptionist tried to offer a good deal but we refused. I re-explained to him that I have a medica
