Last month's business-class transfer hotel was the Gorrion in Yenibosna (New Bosnia
). Five extremely faded stars kept alight by the hotel's TK connection. In compensation they gave me VIP transfers between airport and hotel: just me in a quite extraordinary four seat pimp-mobile limo.
TK is certainly cutting costs - we also had the pimp-mobile to our hotel. I asked for the new Sheraton and we got it. Then when we got there we were treated like second class citizens and the hotel doesn't give a damn to our status. The first room we got had someone slept in it before (looked like it was used for a short time) and smelled of cigarette. We had to call and then got another room which was better.
The breakfast was substandard and the watermelon they served was gone off. No one gave a damn even though I told them (they didn't even bother to remove them). All the people eating breakfast there were either with TK or with tour group. The one in Atakoy was much better although it was really dated and they are not on the list of stopover hotel.
