Akçay Otel Ege

We spent 2 nights and 3 days here and had a wonderful stay. The owners were very attentive. It's a little way out of the city, but that's fine if you've got a car. Breakfast is included, parking is available, and it's a nice alternative to paying the same prices for apartments. I'd recommend it.

The price was ideal, and the hotel was very close to the beach and the liquor store. The rest of the experience was good, but quite a few things were frustrating. Wi-Fi wouldn't let us watch anything, and the shower leaked from underneath and flooded the bathroom. Every time I went in or out, my feet got wet, then I walked around the room with wet feet. The hot water kept malfunctioning. Although we'd booked two days earlier, the fridge was locked and we had to open it ourselves. We stayed two days but were given only enough cosmetics for one day. The toilet was dirty.

The late-night entry was a problem too: twice we arrived around 1 AM and had to wait outside for someone to open the hotel. The bigger issue was the room itself. The closet was filthy, the windows were so dirty you couldn't see through them, the curtains were ripped, and half the insect screen was missing. We asked for the windows and towels to be cleaned and the screen to be fixed, but they removed the rest of it instead. Mosquitoes then filled the room. The shower head came off as soon as I turned on the water, so we had to wash with the hose. At breakfast, my son drank from a glass with lipstick all over it. When I called staff, they said, "You're not staying in a 5-star hotel, are you?" There was no apology. The receptionist was rude when we said we wanted to leave and asked for money back for the unused nights. She said the hotel was spotless, told us to look after our own home, and refused to refund us, adding that we were going out for our own pleasure and she didn't care. We weren't staying for free, and basic hygiene is their responsibility, including washing glasses before serving them. We paid 2750 TL per night for a 1+1 in August, and the location smelled of sewage because it was near a treatment plant. They only took cash at check-in. I wouldn't trust the five-star reviews; I think they write them themselves. I've attached photos. A tent would be better.

Great spot and genuinely welcoming, with clean rooms, quality service, and a lovely hotel. I'd definitely recommend it.
