Elia Hotel Alaçati

The downsides were that the rooms are a little small and have no minibar or refrigerator. In a triple room, the extra mattress makes the space feel cramped. The pool and the stairs leading to it are closed after 11:00 PM. Still, the hotel is very convenient for getting around, close to both Alaçatı and Çeşme, and the price-performance ratio is excellent. The pool was clean and pleasant, and breakfast was natural and delicious, like a home-cooked meal. The owner was attentive, and our room was very clean. We were very pleased and recommend it for its cleanliness, breakfast and location, despite those minor details.

Getting around without a car turned out to be easy. A 10-minute walk from the hotel took me to the Reisdere–Ilıca–Alaçatı–Çeşme minibuses, which ran about every half hour and let me explore Çeşme each day. They also ran until 00:30, so I could spend evenings in Alaçatı and Çeşme. If you like checking out different bays and swimming spots without driving, the minibuses are a big advantage. I spent six nights here and slept peacefully every night on a very comfortable bed. Evenings by the pool were a lovely way to unwind, and the pool and garden were delightful. Each morning's Aegean breakfast was fantastic, especially the olives and jams, which I won't forget. Koray and his mother Fatoş made the place feel warm, sincere and safe with their wonderful hospitality. Every moment felt peaceful. Many thanks to Koray and his family. P.S. Lokum the cat is a delight, just like her name!

The garden and pool were excellent, and the staff's warm, friendly hospitality made the stay even better. We were very happy at Elia Hotel in Alaçatı. The location was very good, the room was clean and the price quite reasonable. Breakfast was delicious, too. The only things that bothered us were the lack of a minibar and a very slight bathroom odor. I'd recommend it to anyone staying in Alaçatı.
