Ulasan Novotel Diyarbakir

On November 14, 2023, at 10:30, we checked into Diyarbakır Novotel. I made the reservation via Heartist on November 1, 2023, with the reservation code MTHDJFSK. At the reception, I handed our IDs to Mr. Veysi and an unidentified lady with short yellow hair, as they tried to locate our reservation. Upon showing the reservation number, they found it but immediately informed us, "You cannot stay at this rate; there is a mistake." I explained that I booked through Heartist with a staff discount, mentioned my last-minute travel from Istanbul, but faced criticism. Despite my confirmed reservation, Mr. Veysi insisted they couldn't offer the room at that rate, stating, "Our hotel is private, and these are the rules." Requesting to speak to someone in charge, we were kept waiting in the lobby. After about half an hour, a person in their fifties, whom we assumed was the hotel's general manager, appeared. He expressed dissatisfaction on the phone, saying, "It would be better to stay for free, and they even got breakfast included." The humiliating situation continued, and after waiting a bit longer, Mr. Veysi called us, offering assistance but excluding breakfast. I declined, emphasizing that my reservation should include breakfast at the agreed-upon rate and objected to his offensive remarks. He claimed, "This is the owner's hotel; Accor is not concerned." Even after pointing out the Accor sign behind the reception, he remained dismissive. The short lady with blonde hair, whose presence was unclear, questioned if she would stay at Pullman Hotel in Istanbul for the same rate. Refraining from explaining the Heartist program again, I informed them of my intention to file a complaint with the Accor Group. Mr. Veysi added a new rule to the Heartist program, stating, "Only your family can stay; your girlfriend cannot," which I found absurd. I informed him of the incorrect procedures and my intention to complain to Accor. His response was dismissive, stating, "Complain wherever you want; I don't need to give you a room. Complain even in Dubai if you want." Yes, it seems they think the Accor headquarters is in Dubai :) Eventually, they returned our IDs, and we were abruptly ejected from the hotel where we had a reservation.
