İpek Motel

The location is hard to reach, there’s no safe area to walk nearby, and the staff are bossy. When I mentioned the problems, they said, “We know, but what can we do?” I felt like I’d fallen into a trap. The room was dark, stuffy, windowless, and so cramped it felt like a bed had been put in a hallway. There wasn’t even bottled water. The toilet had no water, the shower didn’t work, and washing was difficult. Hot water was scarce, and there was no TV, computer monitor, or phone. The furniture looked neglected and worn, like it was from the 70s, and was falling apart. Even the curtains were dirty. I couldn’t tell whether the bed and sheets were clean or had just been folded and unfolded. The place drained my energy. Breakfast was another disappointment. It was supposedly self-service, but there was hardly any choice beyond bread, tasteless cheese, and a few olives. They offered eggs as a “reward,” cooked for two people in one pan and left on the table, not even served on a plate. It felt like a student dorm from the 1980s. No coffee, and nothing sweet. You eat a little so you’re not hungry, then start the day annoyed. I’ve never had such a bad hotel experience. There was nothing I’d expect from a hotel, and the photos make it look much better than it is. It’s not worth staying here, or even passing by. Avoid it if you don’t want to waste your money and have your trip ruined.

We were very happy with the friendly, attentive staff and family-like management. The location is great and there’s a private beach. Our room was small and not quite adequate, but for the money it was excellent value.

The staff were grumpy, indifferent, and no help at all. I paid 6000 TL for one night and there wasn’t even a bottle of water in the room. A terrible hotel. I’ve never seen one this awful, so don’t go anywhere near it.

Only 20 meters from the sea, and it really is a family-friendly place. The owners are kind and attentive, and the hotel has a family feel. Rooms are clean and tidy, with no humidity. Even the air conditioning works perfectly. Breakfast was fresh and had plenty of choice, including warm pastries and rolls.
