Reviews and Ratings
The hotel rooms aren't too bad, on some days the shower is a struggle, and without air conditioning, it can get uncomfortably hot, but overall, they are average and clean. Despite initially smelling strongly of stale cigarette smoke, the odor improved as the week went on. It's best to avoid the stairways as they seem to have issues.
The hotel offers a mix of experiences with standout pros like a convenient location and a nice pool area but faces some challenges like outdated rooms and mixed service quality. The value for money is decent with some hits and misses throughout the stay.
I was initially disappointed that the room given to me was not the one I had paid for, but luckily, they swiftly changed it to a lovely, small but cute and very clean room. The service was exceptional; the staff were very friendly & helpful, quickly resolving the room issue. The location was fine, safe, and had great amenities, although there was some rubbish around. The dining experience offered proper Turkish and Mediterranean dishes, but the area outside the hotel had more variety. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
The hotel was a bit of a dump located above a supermarket on a main road, but the reception staff were helpful enough. The cleanliness could be improved, and there were quite a few steps to get to the rooms. The location had some good music playing throughout the day, with activities like water polo and a nice snack bar by the pool, but there was also some rubbish around. The dining experience was varied with many nice restaurants nearby, though there were some language barriers and issues with safety deposit boxes. Overall, not perfect but not the worst either.
The hotel rooms could be better; they weren't serviced for 5 days and had issues like a sewage smell and loose plug sockets. Despite that, the reception was helpful. The location was great with music playing all day and easy access to the main street, but there were some inconveniences like unresolved maintenance issues. The dining was satisfactory with a mix of Turkish and Mediterranean dishes, but better options off-site. Overall, there are positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel offers a basic room that may not match the initial booking, with some issues like lack of air conditioning at times but overall adequate. Room servicing can be delayed but improved with follow-ups. Service has its ups and downs, with quick room changes but incidents of mishandling money. The location is vibrant with activities but suffers from some cleanliness issues. The dining options are decent with some variations. Facilities are satisfactory.
The hotel rooms were in dire need of proper maintenance, with multiple issues like a sewage smell, water leakage, and electrical hazards.

The location featured enjoyable music and activities but had cleanliness issues and language barriers. The dining included typical Turkish and Mediterranean dishes, though nearby restaurants offered better options. The facilities were lacking in maintenance and upkeep.
The room was not serviced for 5 days, only after insisting multiple times at the reception. The room was basic and small, not the one I had paid for during booking, located above a supermarket on a main road. Service can be rude at times, but the staff is friendly except for management.

Dining options are diverse, including Turkish and Mediterranean dishes, but some areas are full of rubbish.
The hotel was a bit of a mixed bag for us. The rooms were initially a disappointment, being far from reception and having some maintenance issues, but improved over time.

The dining experience had its ups and downs, with some pleasant surprises. The facilities offered had their merits but room for improvement.
The hotel has some cleanliness issues in the rooms and the smell of raw sewage was unpleasant, with water from the toilet on the floor and hanging plug sockets. However, the reception area was cleaner and more acceptable. Service was lacking, with limited or no English spoken, and there were concerns about staff behavior. On the bright side, the location offered great music all day and enjoyable pool activities, though there were occasional unpleasant smells. Dining options were not outstanding, but there were convenient restaurant choices nearby.
