Van Hotels with Airport pickup service

The service attitude is great. Every employee is very nice. This shows the high level of management of this Hilton, including helping me to surf the Internet Wi-Fi. The breakfast area is also perfect. The room is clean and comfortable. The only downside of the hotel is that it is far from the lake. The 6-lane highway speeds past at speed. It would be perfect if the hotel has a safe passage that can easily reach the lake.

I had booked to stay in another hotel in Van but arrived to find that it was closed because of COVID-19. Staff there alerted Celal, the English-speaking manager of Athena Life Otel, who kindly collected me and arranged for me to stay in his hotel. He gave me a very genuine welcome and made very helpful arrangements for my touring programme. There is a great deal to explore in the vicinity of Van and I enjoyed my stay very much. I also met the owner and his younger brother and found them both very friendly. The breakfasts were good (despite the usual change from buffet to plated meal in this time of pandemic) and were served by a very courteous waiter. My room was pleasant, with a comfortable bed and satisfactory en-suite facilities. On TV one could watch Turkish and Japanese news in English as well as a large variety of programmes in Turkish. I can recommend the hotel for the friendliness of the staff and its central location in the city, and certainly intend to stay there on my next visit to Van.

-the hotel location is close to the town center however situated on a narrow road. - although they said that parking is available for those who have a car, that is not true, you have to park your car on the road in front of the hotel or any other empty place you can find. - the hotel personnel are friendly and can speak Persian. - the hotel has a small elevator that can accommodate only two people and is also very noisy and not safe. - the corridor on each floor has a sensor to switch on and off the light but most of the time sensors are not working and you find yourself in a dark corridor. -the rooms have old fashion key locks and if it is not closed from the inside can be opened from the outside. - The sheets for the blanket and the bed are not clean and very old. - the room was dirty and had not been cleaned. - the fridge in the room was not cooling at all. - no towel and no shampoo has been put in the bathroom. - there was no hanger in the bathroom to hang your towel. -there were no slippers in the bathroom and if you are not careful, you could easily slide. - there was no soap in the bathroom to wash your hand. - there was no water to wash your butt and the toilet paper was so thin for drying. - there was no cleaning of the room during the four days of staying at this hotel. - no trash bin in the room. - breakfast was salad, butter,chees, and boiled eggs plus soup more or less the same every day.
