Book Reviews of The Rough Guide to Turkey 6 (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
Book Review: Do not recommend - better off with Lonely Planet
Summary: 1 Stars
Highly disappointed in the 2007 edition of the Rough Guide to Turkey. I've used the Rough Guide for several other countries, but will not rely on Rough Guides ever again. Agree with the reviewer below who found the pricing to be completely inaccurate, a dearth of maps, and trip planning using the book unreliable.
The recommended hotels turned out to be disastrous for us. We went to a hotel in Izmir that was recommended as a good value at 50 Lira for a double. They charged us 160 Lira. It was also a horrible hotel that should never have been recommended. Found several email addresses for hotels to be non-working. Sirkeci/Gulhane area in Istanbul is a great area to stay in yet there were only 3 hotels in that area listed.
Also, there is no tram/metro map for Istanbul which was shocking. The maps in general were not detailed enough. There should have been several more of various Istanbul neighborhoods.
No mention of Blue Cruise. No mention of how infrequent train schedules are. No recommended itineraries.
Overall: Unreliable and highly UNrecommended.
