This is gross.We should not accept it when flying C.
IIRC TK stated 5* for C and 3* for Y PAX.
They tried to put me in the Akgun twice.The second time I refused and got the Marriot.
OK.You're flying Y+.But as C PAX you would have ample reason to complain.
In former they put us in the WOW 5* which was very near to the Airport,Metro,Mall,nice Gym & Bar on the rooftop and great bf.
After that,it was the quite new Marriot which is ok but I liked the WOW better.
Now the Air Boss ??? Next time maybe a little shack on the Airfield
After such a highly acclaimed lounge,they should keep their standards a little higher.
Apparently they are only consistent in inconsistency & serving HAM & Cheese Sandwiches for decades

Sounds like my room in the Akgun.At least the room was big and that's it.
Not even cleaned with leftovers under the bed.
I really wonder who is reviewing their so called 5* Status.

Guys, can you post some pics so I know what the h*ll (no pun intended ) I am going to expect?
BTW, does any of those hotel have free wifi internet in the room? (I will be there next week, maybe I will share my photos too)

I took pictures with my Mobile to have leverage but the quality was abysmal so I deleted them.
Btw.A Desk Agent at the CIP Lounge gave me this recommendation.

OK, now I am at my hotel room... And thank God it is not Air Boss!!! Even just for location-wise, that place is crap.
As U (a.k.a. CC, Y+) I got assigned to stay @ Grand S (Senol) Hotel. "suppose" to be 4*.
More about my report in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/17251440-post117.html.

I flew CC in August NRT-IST-ARN. TK only has a late flight to ARN on 3-4 days a week so I had to stay over.
I booked myself in the Courtyard, which was a decent hotel. And it was only around EUR 80, I think.
I guess that I avoided the lottery at least.

This lottery is another good example for TK being consistently inconsistent.
I think the 80€ are well worth to spend as you had a decent room & free shuttle and hence how much time it took YYZ to reach his hotel.
It maybe is TK's End Game.To annoy us so much with crappy hotels that everyone sooner or later will pay by her / himself
