The Abies

The location makes things easy: it’s right at the start of the city bustle, with parking just across the street at a good rate for hotel guests. That means you can avoid driving through the narrow streets. The ferry and nearly all points of interest are walkable, the nearest beach is 10 minutes away on foot, and famous Troy is a 30-minute drive. Mahal, an art centre two blocks away, sometimes has exhibitions and concerts. I found the neighborhood authentic, though a little rough around the edges. As a solo traveler, I never felt unsafe or had an unpleasant experience, but I’d take the avenue rather than the side streets when walking to the city centre. The friendly, polite atmosphere is another plus. The design really inspired me. The common areas and rooms are beautiful, with care put into making things feel artistic and intriguing. My room was spotless, decorated with lovely art and furniture, and had good-quality bed and bath linens and toiletries. There’s a mini fridge and kettle, plus complimentary water, coffee, tea, and biscuits. Choose an S room if you only plan to sleep there, but I’d suggest an M room otherwise. If you can afford it, the L room has more space and a view. I’d recommend the place to anyone, especially if you want beauty, style, and care as part of your stay.

The rooms are clean and have an artistic touch, and the service felt warm and friendly. Breakfast was good quality too. There can be some noise from outside, but the windows insulate well enough that it didn’t spoil the experience.

Unique, neat, and clean. The decor is some of the best I’ve seen in a hotel so far. Nicely done, and I’d highly recommend staying here if you’re around Canakkale.

We got help finding a room even without a reservation, and the front desk staff were great. The hotel is very clean and comfortable, with an interesting interior, nice coffee, and a perfect location. I highly recommend it.
