Ipsala Şenkol Otel

Staff were polite and helpful, which is why I haven't given an even lower score. The breakfast was very basic, though, and I thought the price was high for rooms of such poor quality. It was the worst value for money of our whole trip. I'd read about the dogs and car noise, so I expected those. What I hadn't expected were gaps around the door and even the ceiling, letting mosquitoes into our badly built room and making it hard to sleep.

The AC worked, and the serving ladies were kind and friendly. The owner also seemed polite and intelligent, and returned the extra 18 euro the host had charged us after he received our complaint. That left us confused about how the rooms could be in such a ruined state. Maybe we got the worst room, or perhaps they were all like ours and the pictures for booking were somehow made to look better. Our room was super ugly, with flying bats in the foyer and a mouse running from the room into the bathroom. Breakfast was cold and too simple for the price. It was the worst hotel stay I've had.

You can park and sleep here, with the hotel right by the trunk road, and the service guy was very kind and helpful. The WC was clean and okay. But this felt like a 1* motel, not a 3* hotel. The rooms are in a garden shack made from very thin material, so you hear the road and dogs. The place wasn't really clean either. They first asked for a euro rate that was 20% above the 'booking' rate. 50 € was out of the question for that den, so they lowered it to 1500 lira. Still pricey.

They charged my card as soon as I left, even though I'd paid cash at the hotel. They acted as if they'd refund it, but never did. So I paid twice for the worst hotel I've ever seen. Avoid it for your own sake. The stay itself was horrible too. No one spoke English and some of the staff were rude. The toilet was broken, the room was dirty, there was no hot water, and trucks nearby made the thin-walled room shake. Fortunately, they moved me to a better room in the main building. My booking said breakfast was included, but there wasn't any.
