"Extremely friendly and welcoming, clean, with an exceptional breakfast, even by the great Turkish breakfast standards. The only downside was that the WiFi does not work in the rooms, only in the common areas."
"To start with the room was not what we booked, we booked a sea view room and ended up with a street view room!
The electricity key was broken, it was a challenge to put the key in to have the electricity to work.
Was quite noisy as well.
The smell from the toilet was disgusting, we told the receptionist but as they didn't speak English, they didn't do anything about it!
The hotel is really old and can benefit from some modernisation and maintenance.
To be honest the property is not worth the price we paid, I would not book it again and advise against it."
"Probably the best hotel in the island - it’s the perfect location, was very clean. The staff were so helpful - overall great experience. Would recommend for all travellers - couple, family or solo. "
"The breakfast is fabulous lots to choose from . Hotel presented beautifully. Accomodating staff . Rooms spacious and clean . A little old but good value for money and in a great spot . Good for parking . "
