Hotel berhampiran Guba Genocide Memorial Complex, Guba

The hotel is located in a very picturesque, mountainous area and is indeed a beautiful palace. The check in process is smooth with the exception of any guidance or assistance with luggage. The hotel manageress, Samira is exceptionally professional and goes to great lengths to make hotel guests feel welcome and valued. The service at the mountain restaurant The Challete Steakhouse is top notch, with delicious food and friendly and courteous staff. The great 5* star service unfortunately does not filter through to all amenities and due to my very poor experience, I would not recommend the SPA at this hotel. The staff here are very immature and require additional etiquette and basic training in how to deal professionally with guests. In particular, Husein is very argumentative and disrespectful and makes no apology for his poor behaviour and even encouraged me to report him to the hotel manageress. This incident left a very tarnished image not on the hotel itself but such things have a way of causing unnecessary stress and unhappiness during what is supposed to be a pleasant vacation.

Zirve Hotel Shahdag offers an exceptional experience with its stunning mountain views, thrilling outdoor activities, and excellent service. We stayed for a night so we could experience some of the amazing activities they offered. The staff were welcoming, especially Ms AAYGUN and Mr. AMIK at the front desk. We had a great time and the spa was a great addition. Perfectly located for outdoor activities, Wherever u stay in Shahdag u have to come to ZIRVE HOTEL for all the activities as the main ticket booking centre is just under ZIRVE .As we are vegetarian JAIN the restaurant had something to offer us for the breakfast and lunch ,this hotel is a fantastic choice for an adventurous yet relaxing getaway.

While the hotel boasts a range of facilities and enjoys a favourable location, there are areas that require attention. The cleanliness standards are average, and some of the bathroom fittings are damaged, contributing to a water drainage issue. Notably, water tends to flow onto the bathroom floor when flushing the bathtub. And we had to wait almost 2 hrs to get the cleaning services to arrive.

I’m detailing this review since no one at the hotel cared when I spoke to them. I’m a Marriott elite gold member, I had booked a Mountain View room and as a gold member I’m eligible for upgrades. I got to the hotel and asked them if they could upgrade me to a balcony Mountain View room. They told me all the junior suites are full, I clearly told them I do not want a junior suite and I want the next category up which was available (the Mountain View balcony) anyways they told me I had to pay for it, so I did although it wasn’t what I wanted cause it had double beds and I asked for a king bed(which they told me was not available) and I double checked with them saying “it’s Mountain View?” They were like all our rooms are Mountain View (false!!). I payed extra for the balcony “Mountain View” room only to enter my room and see that my view was of the hotel itself from within and was not a Mountain View room. I went back to the reception and told them this and they literally just laughed and said this is the only room we have left with a balcony which was a blatant LIE because I asked for the manager who immediately gave me a king bed Mountain View balcony room. Saying I’m a gold elite Marriott member is because if that’s what I am and I got treated this way, then how do others who are not part of the Marriott membership get treated?. Housekeeping at the hotel is really bad, I came into the room the tissue box was empty, parts of the shower have not been cleaned there were stuff stuck on the wall… I could go on about housekeeping but whenever I asked for something to get done the sweet lady from housekeeping at the turnover night shift would help. The spa cancelled one of our bookings without letting us know and changed the timing of our other booking. There’s a restaurant called scalini located on the -1 level of the hotel. I could not find their number online to make a booking and when I called the guest services to ask for the restaurant’s number they said they don’t have it. I’m pretty sure for guest’s convenience someone could get in an elevator from floor 1 to -1 and ask the restaurant for their number so that if a guest asks for it, it’s THERE! Unbelievable bad service.. Also, a side tip since this is a tourist destination, maybe just maybe have more English speaking people as it’s a universal language and this is an international hotel chain! It’s very disappointing for me to write this because the hotel is beautiful and its amenities are really good it’s just the service makes you want to leave: which is what I did.
