Colorful Hotel

You mentioned being happy with the hotel when your wife and I spoke, and we talked for nearly an hour. That changed after I insisted on the 300 TL price at checkout. You said you only had 250 TL, but I didn't think that was fair after already lowering the rate from 400 TL to 350 TL at your wife's request, then to 300 TL because she said she was skipping breakfast for an early boat tour. We share a name and come from the same town, so I had trusted her. You had booked just two days earlier without paying anything, and I held the room for both days without asking for payment. I feel your review came down to that 50 TL. Still, that's all right. You also called some of the furniture rusty. The hotel opened on July 15, 2019, and all the furniture is only a year old. Cleanliness is something we never compromise on. Our laundry is washed at the factory in Didim, and we clean and prepare every room for the next guest after each stay. I don't understand how the hotel could be as you described after only a year in operation. We appreciate reviews, including yours, because they help us understand expectations and spot shortcomings. Our concept is room only or bed and breakfast. We're in central Akbük, 50 meters from the sea, on the second floor of a business center. Rooms are on the second floor, while the terrace cafe and restaurant are on the third. There is no industry within 50 meters of the sea. Below us are home textile shops, real estate offices and liquor stores. Every room has a balcony with a sea view and is 22 square meters. The website you contacted us through has all the hotel information and photos, and what you found there was what it described. We've run businesses in Akbük for 20 years, though the hotel itself has been open for one. We have a clear conscience and are respected here both in business and personally. Local businesspeople and friends recommend us with confidence. We've worked hard to make guests feel at home in a family atmosphere, without betraying anyone's trust, and guests leave happy, hoping to see us next season. You probably heard about our other businesses when I spoke with your wife. My regards to you and your spouse, Mr. Cumali.

A last-minute change brought my wife, our children and me to this brand-new hotel for eight days, and we had a comfortable, enjoyable stay. The family feel is real, and Ozan, Ramazan and Anıl were especially friendly, attentive and helpful. The hotel is right in the center, with boat tours leaving from directly outside. There are restaurants and shopping centers within 500 meters, and parking behind the building. From the terrace at breakfast, the view was wonderful, stretching from the "Apollonium" area to the "Fake Paradise." Thanks again for everything, and hopefully we'll come back next year.

What stuck with me enough to make me write a hotel review for the first time was seeing the magazine "Uykusuz" (Sleepless) on the reading tables. I didn't get to read it or stay as long as I'd hoped, but the place really touched our hearts. Our journey was so long that I wish we'd had more time there, and I hope nothing changes before we return next year. The hotel itself is clean and charming, with new furniture, a lovely view and a nice breakfast. The rooms each have their own color, and as someone who loves white, I felt right at home in mine. I wouldn't want a holiday hotel to be more luxurious than my own home. I believe in being honest with yourself, even for a short break. It's right by the beach, with shops and pharmacies nearby, and close to Didim and historical sites. The staff are warm, friendly and helpful. Even if you're not planning to go to Akbuk, change your route!

A comfortable, decent option for families. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the location is one of the main reasons I'd recommend it. The rooms looked cleaner and more spacious in person than in the photos. I think some negative reviews are deliberate, so take a look at the hotel pictures without letting those comments sway you. It's a really good place.
