Siyah Lale Cunda 1841

Unal and his wife looked after us from the booking until we walked out at the end. They called personally to check the booking details, gave our taxi driver directions so we wouldn't get lost, and recommended and booked two wonderful dinners. For our early departure, they even prepared a special breakfast. They went above and beyond at every turn. The hotel, really a Bed and Breakfast by American standards, is beautiful and finished with care throughout. I couldn't recommend it more, and it was one of my most memorable stays in years of travel.

Mr. Ünal, the owner, upgraded our room at no charge and checked in with us every day, offering excellent ideas for things to do. Our room was tastefully decorated, and they left complimentary water each day. Breakfast on the terrace was delightful, with little changes from one morning to the next. The beautifully restored traditional home had so much character and captured Cunda Island's charm. It was a lovely mix of comfort and local character.

What made our stay special was Mr. Ünal and his wife. They were warm and friendly, checking our details by phone after booking and making sure we had the easiest way to reach the hotel. They also shared recommendations and called to make reservations for us. On our last day, we left early, but Ms. Anne Marie arranged a taxi and made coffee for us. The rooms were clean and the hotel's design was charming. Its location is perfect, about a 2-minute walk from the lively center, yet quiet enough at night for a good sleep. I highly recommend it for a warm, personal stay.

The owner met us when we arrived and was always around to answer questions. The whole staff were incredibly accommodating, which made our six-night stay all the more enjoyable. We couldn't be happier with our time at this charming family-owned boutique hotel. I'd highly recommend this stylish little place if you're looking for a warm, personal experience.
