Originally had a road side view room and there is a busy road that isn't very pleasant when you want to enjoy some time on the balcony, we went down to talk to the receptionist to see if there were any sea view rooms available that we could pay to upgrade to. The receptionist explained that no rooms were available at the moment but something might be available tomorrow. In the morning we were approached by the hotel staff to say that they had a sea view room ready for us and we could change completely free of charge. Outstanding Customer Service!! The difference between the two rooms was night and day, when we stay again we will be booking the sea view from the start.
Food is local based (don't expect a full English for breakfast) and some fussy eaters/families might struggle with what's on offer but from our experience all the food was lovely and had no complaints. The restaurant manager greeted us every morning with our usual English tea and couldn't do enough to ensure we had an enjoyable stay.
Pool area was lovely and is attended by hotel staff constantly clearing away any glasses or rubbish at the sunbeds. Pool was a bit cold but I think that was more to do with the time of year. Music is played around the pool which we found ok (depends on your taste in music). There is a veranda overlooking Kusadasi (fantastic views) that you could spend all day (many people did) watching the world go by with a beer in hand. Drinks were absolutely fine, reports of them being watered down I think are a bit farfetched.
Location wise the hotel is, as the name suggests, on top of a hill and a 15/20 minute walk to the Marina and 45/50 minute walk into the town. However there is a local bus (dolmus) that passes the hotel and goes straight into the town or you can catch a local bus from the hospital (2 minute walk) straight down to the marina. The cost of the bus is 15tl for adults 10tl for children one way (38p/25p at the time of review).
Overall a lovely little hotel with clean rooms and staff that cannot do enough for you. Would definitely go back and would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great holiday that doesn't break the bank.
On arrival I was impressed with the hotel, we arrived at 11:20pm and as the bar and hotel was not serving that late we were given take away box with sandwiches, apples, juice and water. Check in was fast and we were told the shop at the hotel was open until 2am. This was excellent. The prices are reasonable too.
The hotel was calm, only a few people sat enjoying conversation near the pool, no loud music and no drunken people.
The staff are really kind, Alex the rep was not pushing to book trips but had important information in the welcome meeting.
Anna in entertainment team is full of energy, great conversation and makes you feel so welcome. The foam party was amazing, darts was fun. Water polo gets a good turn out and it’s so welcoming.
The hotel is small. It feels very safe. And all the local animals seem looked after.
The food is fantastic if you are not a fussy eater, I ate a great amount. However if you prefer meat and two veg type meals at least you can eat chop sandwiches and eggs on toast.
There are no ice cream for the kids unless you buy it but that’s fine for me.
The house drinks are effes, gin, vodka and wines. All others you have to pay for. There is a great selection of juices and soft drinks.
The view is incredible.
The rooms are clean
The family rooms are spacious.
I would say for the price it is perfect, this is not luxury but it is excellent, I will rebook again for April.
I stayed here last week in April for 2 weeks. my husband and I had separate rooms due to his snoring , this seemed to be the only thing that was ok about our stay. We were given rooms at the front of hotel on 6th floor . Both rooms were completely different but clean and ok but... the main road out the front of the hotel is very busy so very noisy .
The double glazing in the rooms is shocking and so you can hear all the traffic all the time. the beds are rock hard and the most uncomfortable one ive ever slept in but the pillows were nice.
The rooms aren't cleaned properly by the maids , they only come in , change bedding and towels but do not clean the bathroom/shower.
Walls are very thin also.
Every couple of days it seemed a bus load of teenagers turned up and spent most of the time running up and down the hallways at all hours , slamming doors and going up and down in lefts more than necessary.
There are very few staff that speak English but most of them are very polite.
The food was always cold and not much choice in main meals . I am allergic to tomatoes and peppers so stayed away from dishes that had those in however even dishes that did not have any of those in were lined the trays with them most of the time so could not each much .There wasn't always a chip/ potato option either so I ate so much bread it made me ill in the end.
Breakfast wasn't too bad as you could ask for an omelette or fried eggs but beware they do not cook them enough my husband had a raw omelette inside .
There is no option for you to have a cup of normal English tea so bring your own bags if you want a cuppa .
On the positive side , the views from the patio are lovely , nice clean pool but freezing apparently .Entertainment was ok when it was on.
Oh and the lift will only allow 3 skinny people or 2 larger people so long as you don't have a case or bag with you !
Also in the second week there was some sort of loud generator / building work noises all day from 830 til about 4! so unless they have finished doing whatever it was they were doing if you want an afternoon nap you best have one on the sunbeds!
I was very disappointed with this stay at this hotel .
Kusadasi itself is nice but VERY expensive, went for a Chinese and it cost £87 for 2 people with only 3 main dishes with2 rice and a starter for 2 plus 4 drinks !!
Always haggle with the vendors as they hike the prices up for guests coming off the cruise ships !
I recommend doing the Ephesis tour although it is a long day , and if its hot it will be very draining, although be aware you are taken to certain factories on the way there and back , also if you do the Izmir shopping trip , the same will happen too.
Bed was made daily and new towels, that was it, no cleaning carried out.
Outside, bar and table’s filthy, drinks severely watered down, one bar man in particular was extremely rude to everyone, though rest of staff were very friendly. Music around the pool did not cater for the majority of the age group, no daily activities, which were advertised when booking this hotel.
Hotel advertised as being a 4 star, a beach front hotel with a gym!! Would say 3 star at a push, beach roughly 20 minute hill walk away, and you could not even see the beach from the hotel. No gym as advertised. Both of these were factors in us booking this hotel, so you can imagine very dissatisfied.
I rate the hotel itself 3-4/10
Cleanliness 10/10
Food 5/10
Animations 7/10
Service 9/10
We probably wouldn't return to this hotel and we don't recommend it.
This hotel really should be a 1 star (if there was a 0 star I would have given it that), the photos and descriptions are not a true reflection of what you are booking yourself in to!
We checked in on the Monday to a toilet full of excrement! In and around the toilet!
the food was inedible - cold, chewy, some you couldn’t even get a fork into, let alone cut!
Drinks were not “all inclusive” everything was so watered down and limited!
Cats were eating the cake off the cake trays
Food was repetitive (I’m sure this was because if it wasn’t all eaten it was a reserved for the next meal….)
Pool table and paddles were broken
Pathing labs around the pool were dangerous (cut my foot twice)
Evening entertainment some you had to pay for, and it was a different cost depending on your nationality and group size…
The shower head was broken (was reported and never replaced)
The Aircon didn’t work (so the manager came and swapped the batteries from the tv control to the Aircon… fantastic!
The “cleaners” repeatedly left the door open even after being told by us to keep it locked!
The floor was never cleaned and had dirt round the edges of door frames, shower etc
Bed was hard and only a sheet and 1 pillow each provided
Dartboard was broken and not proper darts game
Music was about 10 songs on repeat which drove us insane!
Definitely not a walk from the town or beach as advertised!
Entertainment if it happened at all wasnt on time (1 hour to 2hours late)
