I was asked extra price (twice the listed price) by the person at the front desk. The payment had already been paid through Expedia in dollars. So, it was not an issue of the recent value loss of the Turkish currency over dollar. I had not been contacted by anyone for any explanation before I went to the hotel, where I waited by the reception for 5-10 min until a middle-aged/old man showed up. He was not expecting me apparently (for whatever reason), but he found my reservation upon checking his computer. Since I made my booking the day before, my feeling is that he had not even (appropriately) checked his computer for at least a day. He suddenly assumed an authoritarian and grumpy character, asked where I was from, started talking to me without even making an eye contact, and pulled out a sheet of paper with a footnote in tiny letters stating that the hotel does not have to honor the listed fee for those who cannot produce a foreign passport or any documentation of foreign residency. He basically said that they charge extra fee for Turkish residents. I don't know if this type of discrimination is legal, but it is certainly unethical. I didn't even question the reasoning and had to leave the premises. I essentially have to endure and fight against racist discrimination abroad all the time; never expected that I would be subjected to one in my own country. I would not even use the bathroom facilities at such a place, let alone thinking about having a relaxed vacation.
