Bien pour dépanner
Cons:

Nous n’avions pas de frigo dans la chambre pour un mois d’août c’était pas top, l’isolation catastrophique, l’hôtel étant à côté d’une grande route principale durant toute la nuit, il y a non-stop du passage impossible de dormir

Zdecydowanie nie polecam.
Pros:

Wszystko co powyżej 1 to zasługa Pani w recepcji- Rosjanka. Dziękuję za jej pomoc i życzliwość. Normalnie nie wystawiam negatywnych opinii ale przychodzi i ten czas. Taksówka na lotnisko około 15euro.

Cons:

Wszystko. Mialam to opisac barczo mocno ale już emocje opadly. Nikt nas nie poinformował, ze mamy transport na plażę,basen brudny i zimny plus miedzy budynkami czego nie widać na zdjęciu a jeden hotel z tego powodu odrzucilam. W nocy pękła rura...reakcja zerowa. Rekompensata i zainteresowanie, ze pol nocy zero snu zerowa, Pan w nocy nie rozmawiał po angielsku nawet nie przeprosił dobrze, ze sama zakręciłam dopływ wody bo nie sądzę, ze by wiedział co zrobić. Łazienka niezbyt czysta. Śniadanie bardzo skromne, niby stoi menu na stoliku ale nie ma możliwości wyboru. Wcześniej wspomniana Pani próbowała tylko coś zrobić. Aaa no i nazwa hotelu bardzo mylące, że jest inna niż na booking i zdjęcia są bardzo podrasowane w stosunku do rzeczywistości.

Lovely hotel with lovely staff
Pros:

This hotel has scored max points for the staff - superb people, specially Svetlana, the receptionist lady, nothing was too much for this lady and all handled with smile - and do trust me, I had some requests. The apartment was super comfy and as described, comfy beds and 2 pillows - this is a plus. Another plus a large fridge, oven and washing machine also not so obvious elsewhere. There are some minor issues if I was picky, but from this price range hotels, and I have stayed in a few during my Turkish travel, this was the best hotel. The breakfast isn't worth mentioning - you get a ready food plate, you can only order from the displayed menu for an additional price - but it is in the price and does the job. Nice setting. Everything was clean. The pool is very small but looks posh.The location is far from everything, the area is a Tower Block Suburbs, the hotel is on the highway going around the city. I was not driving but there is a bus stop outside the hotel which can take you places for pennies, you pay via phone or card to driver, just show him where you want to go, use mobile to locate yourself on the map and press stop when u see its close to your destination. The buses are busy and crowded therefore the bus driver wont stop for you. Buses are frequent and there is also an app showing where and when going, ask reception.The hotel also provides free van to and from the beach. Do not attempt to cross a lovely looking sandy area with the trees opposite of the hotel - straight line to the beach, it is fenced at the other , sea side. Within walking distance is well stocked Migros, just follow the main road, go left when facing the hotel, also a booze store and some other bits. The airport is about a 25-30 min ride, u can order a taxi via Uber, it costs 18 pounds in July 2026.Mine came as ordered at 5 am, paid when ordered, no issues. The going out security took 35 min for all.

Cons:

To the hotel - you DO need to change hotels name on booking site - the name Lara is not known to even local drivers, it is not displayed on your hotel,, the name of hotel is different - it is very confusing and stressful to find you. Ok, not the hotels fault, but as mentioned by others, there is a rather loud dog in an area which barks and barks. This is annoying. The van takes you to the beach club - you get free beds BUT you are not allowed to bring any food, snack or drink and you are VERY strongly encouraged to buy the latest from the club. if you do bring anything, you will be searched and everything confiscated by security and given back when you leave. you don't need to pay there - it will be added to your hotel;s bill. The club is nice with loud music, also a grassy area. next to the clubs entry are many public entries, so if you prefer to skip the club and be on your own, you just use it and come back to the parking lot for 6pm pick up. the shore is full of so called clubs, for a very long distance both ways nothing but, no promenade, no independent shops therefore you are pretty stuck , no point to walk and given the stones and angle very hard walk. The sea is almost immediately deep, with stones to enter but no need for shoes, it's smooth and easy, some waves and current on otherwise no wind sunny days. You can take a taxi back from parking, do not sit with wet swimmsuits, it will cost you an extra 1000 liras and they do check. only use the meter, riding back to the hotel should cost 200 liras, not more.There are also buses running there. Would I stay there again? For the hotel, yes, for the area - no

Pour une nuit mais pas plus !
Pros:

Proche de l’aéroport donc pratique quand on atterri tard ou décolle tôt.

Cons:

Au bord d’une départementale très passante, très mal isolé.
Petit déjeuner très très light !
Dame à l’accueil peu accueillante.
Chambre sale: miroirs et vitres non faits, taches sur le canapé, miettes sur la cuisinière, reste de dégâts des eaux entre la salle de bain et la chambre, traces sur les murs.
La salle de bain est très petit et aménagée de façon peu pratique
