Grand Hotel Tesk

The place is clean and the location is good, but the furniture is old and needs updating.

We come back every year during our Black Sea cultural tour. Mr. Anıl is always smiling, attentive and warmly welcoming, and the rest of the staff deserve a mention too. Breakfast is buffet style, while dinner is a set menu. If you’re visiting the Black Sea region, remember to stop by Tesk Hotel! 😊

I ate at the restaurant on the afternoon of April 20th, and the whole meal left me upset. I was the only table, with three waiters around, yet it was so hard to get anyone’s attention that you could sit there for hours without being asked if you needed anything. The meat sauté I ordered to the 7th floor was more like soup with vegetables and meat, and I couldn’t taste the meat. The tzatziki had none of the olive oil and mint it usually comes with. The shepherd’s salad may have been the worst I’ve had in Ordu. Broad bean stew came straight from a jar, and they could at least have added lemon. I also asked for ice with my glass of raki, but the waitress never brought any. It was a really bad experience.

The bathroom had clean towels and a hairdryer, and the breakfast was good with plenty of choice. The rooms were generally clean, though they hadn’t had a deep clean. Still, it wasn’t bad.
