Ramada by Wyndham Iskenderun in Iskenderun

Disappointing Stay – Not Worth the Price

Our stay at the Ramada in Iskenderun was unfortunately far below expectations. The staff seemed impatient and not particularly welcoming, which already left a negative first impression. The rooms all have old carpet floors that make the hotel feel outdated and poorly maintained.

The first room we were given was in such bad electrical condition that nothing worked, forcing the frustrated staff member to change rooms for us right after checking in.

The second room wasn’t much better: the shower overflowed every time, the mini fridge didn’t work, the lights at the door wouldn't shut off unless the electricity was turned off by taking out the key card.

The noise level was extremely high due to the busy road outside and to make things worse, we had to keep the window open because the AC was locked on heating mode despite warm weather. With no insect nets and no way to adjust the temperature, getting any comfortable sleep was impossible.

Another disappointment was the lack of underground or closed-off parking. For a hotel under the Ramada brand, this was surprising and inconvenient.

The only redeeming part of the stay was the breakfast, which was okay – nothing special, but acceptable compared to the rest of the experience.

Overall, this hotel did not meet the standards we expected from Ramada, and we would not stay here or with any of their brands again.

I have stayed at Ramada hotels quite often in the past, was always very pleased with the chain and did not think I could go wrong in Iskenderun either. We booked for 3 nights but stayed only one. The room was clean but the closet was falling apart with a large hole in the back wall and so narrow that it was impossible to close. The window blinds were so noisy that we almost fell out of bed when the neighbors closed or opened theirs. There was bascially no sound absorption between the rooms, you heard everything your neighbors said word for word. Due to the hole in closet you could even smell the cigaret smoke from next-door. The internet did not work well and the safe did not work at all, even after the technicians had a go at it. Breakfast was very poor quality and the breakfast room itself was like a cafeteria. I would never stay at this hotel again.
