Selim Sultan Otel Hotel

The room had a toilet inside the shower cubicle, and water leaked out until the bathroom was like a lake. The shower door also had trouble closing. The air conditioner barely cooled, and someone had wedged a plastic fork between its blades to stop them closing. The balcony door was hard to shut too. The beach is there, but both it and the sea are rocky, and the water gets deep just two or three steps in. I was not satisfied at all, and I'm glad we stayed only one night. We found the hotel on an app and went there to pay. They quoted a slightly higher price, so I pointed out the online rate included breakfast. An older man said he’d give us one of their rooms at that rate, and I agreed. The next morning, though, he said breakfast wasn’t included. Since we were only staying one night, I didn’t argue. He was grumpy and hard to deal with. They might say we had a cheap room, but that doesn’t excuse how neglected the hotel and rooms felt. The same man had told us, “You asked for a cheap room, but I’m still giving you a nice room, come again.” If that was the nicer room, I don’t know what the others are like. It felt like they take whatever they can get.

The family-run feel made this stay special. We were welcomed like friends they’d been waiting a long time to see, and there was care in everything, from breakfast to the evening conversations. The hotel is also clean, comfortable, and in a lovely location. It has a warmth you don’t get at big hotels, and I’d recommend it if you want to feel at home. We came from Germany and felt welcome right from the start. Being able to speak German with the owner's lovely wife made it feel as if we’d come back to a second home after a long time away. That hospitality gave our holiday a meaning I won’t forget. Thanks again for everything! 🌿💫

I first planned to stay here for a week, and somehow 15 years have gone by. It’s become a habit, and every summer I pack my bags and end up back here. The safe, quiet atmosphere and friendly, helpful staff make it feel like home, with lovely green surroundings that make it hard to leave. The location is wonderful, right by the sea. The beach is pristine, and the water is clear and captivating. It’s one of the nicest corners of the Aegean. That’s a holiday, and anyone who hasn’t tried it is missing out, I’m telling you. :)

It looks nice from outside, but inside the design is awful and dated. The manager seems to run things by his own rules, charging 200 TL for half an onion, while alcohol costs twice as much as outside. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it.
