Villa Life Sapanca

Reasonable.

We booked just a room for our little sightseeing break, and the location worked really well for visiting lots of attractions. The rooms were very good and clean. It even had hair conditioner, which surprised me since many five-star hotels don’t. Bath towels, shampoo, shower gel, tissues, a fridge, and a kettle were all there. A lovely boutique hotel. Thank you!

Room 105 was awful for our one-night stay. The barbecue smoke from the businesses downstairs had soaked into the furniture and kept pouring into the room, even with the air conditioning running. Opening the window only brought in more of it, and we couldn’t get away from that smell all night while trying to sleep. The rooms felt neglected and dirty. The air conditioner was the only thing that worked. Easily the worst experience I’ve ever had, and I absolutely don’t recommend this place.

Breakfast was the best part for me, and there was plenty to eat: sausage, menemen, fried food, cheese, tomato salad, orange jam, and really good olives. We stayed one night and were satisfied, with no real problems. The pool makes this a good choice for families, and it’s close to the cable car. The lake is about a half-hour walk away. There’s no phone in the room to call reception, and the bathroom shower is a bit unusual because you have to wait for the water to flow properly. Still, we were happy with our stay.
