Caliskanlar Otel

It was easy to walk to the shops and mega beach from this conveniently located, basic hotel. The room had a table, chairs, a mini fridge, and a kettle. The bathroom was cramped, even for me. The shower worked and the temperature was fine, but water leaked past the doors onto the floor. They provided soap and shampoo, so you may want to bring shower gel. Breakfast was basic, and we skipped it the second day to get pastries elsewhere. It’s an apartment hotel, so there’s no room cleaning or towel replacement. Fine for a short stay.

Breakfast was really bad, and the attractions were a long walk away. There’s no parking nearby, and the street is in an industrial market area, so it’s noisy outside. Inside wasn’t much better: the walls have no sound insulation, and you can hear every room’s toilet and shower. The beds were very uncomfortable. Definitely not worth it. I stayed with my wife and child as Muzaffer Kale. Check my last name, Kale.

The cleaning was good, but this is a very simple hotel and expensive for the bed and breakfast offer. The neighborhood is ordinary, and it’s about a ten-minute walk to the shore.

I needed a place to work online for a couple of hours, and the staff let me use the hall and did what they could to make me comfortable. I left my luggage there too and picked it up around 10 PM, since my bus was late. They were polite and patient throughout. We also had no trouble checking in late or checking out 30 minutes after the usual time. Our room was spacious and clean, with decent decoration. Breakfast was standard, nothing special, but filling enough to start the day. We had a very good time, and I’d suggest Çalışkanlar Otel to anyone after a quiet, friendly place to spend the night.
