“Quaint little hotel”

There appears to be such confusion online, between THIS accomodation, which is "Begonville Pansion" in the old town, and the Begonville Apartments, which is outside the old town, as people are talking about reception areas, and TV in the rooms, NEITHER of which Begonville Pansion has!

There appears to be such confusion online, between THIS accomodation, which is "Begonville Pansion" in the old town, and the Begonville Apartments, which is outside the old town, as people are talking about reception areas, and TV in the rooms, NEITHER of which Begonville Pansion has! When you get to Turkey, make sure you have your phone ready to go, as, when you arrive at the Begonville Pansion, you'll need to be able to ring them so they can come and meet you.There is NO reception desk, and no permanent person on site. You may be luck and arrive during the day and bump into the cleaner who will check you in ..but if you arrive at a silly hour, like we did,with phone not sorted, we weren't able to contact anyone to be checked in.We arrived at around 5.30 in the morning, so just sat and chilled in their lovely garden until someone arrived at about 6.30am. It's NOT a normal hotel, so either have your phone sorted so you can call them and advise of your arrival so they can let you in, OR get the transfer bus driver to call them when he drops you off. The transfer company initially tried dropping as off at the Begonville Apartments hotel.....wrong place, and this will likely happen to you, as it's seemingly a common error. Hotel was basic, very rustic, free WiFi. Bathroom had shower cubical, toilet, sink. A good 50% of the time there was no hot water. Needed to have a bit more tlc with the upkeep, as towel ring had come off the wall bracket, and was left on window sill. Fresh towels, fresh bedding, bed not uncomfortable, and an air con unit, which unfortunately the "swinging" vanes function had broken, and was wedged open with a bit of cardboard, and what looked like a used tissue. Our room was on the street side (as apposed to the back garden of the property). It was pretty noisy, as not only noises from the street just outside, but pumping music can be heard loudly coming from a lot of the big beachfront bars/restaurants. A few people have said the noise stops by 12....DO NOT believe this! Most of the normal street noises, yes, as most of the shops and restaurants close at midnight...BUT the bigger seafront places keep going till around 3.30am.....and you do REALLY hear this! Altogether, a quaint ,rustic little hotel, which we loved, and sitting out in the garden in the evenings was lovely! The restaurant next door (as you face the hotel, restaurant is in the right), is a fantastic places to eat, very very friendly, excellent food, good choice, nice atmosphere, and we were given many complimentary salads and coffees. When it's time to come home, the transfer company will text you and tell you when to be standing outside the hotel waiting...but, as before make sure they come to the correct hotel, as that you give them the address at which they need to collect....we did that, and the person STILL said they were coming to the Begonville Apartments to collect us...we gave them the correct address, and they replied "it's the same hotel"...to which we replied, "no it isn't, can you please make sure they come to the address we have just given you?" Just make sure they understand, and come to the right place! Other than that, a very lovely stay, highly recommended!

I have stayed here twice now as a solo visitor to side - the staff are welcoming and friendly and the accommodation is well situated in the centre of antique side. The rooms are big and clean with a cleaner that visits everyday. The bathroom is more than adequate and there is always plenty of hot water - both times I have stayed I have been in a garden room so haven't been bothered by the noise from the street too much - although be warned there are bars up and down the street but mostly things close by midnight. The breakfast is a Turkish breakfast but is more than ample to start the day - if you want a full English then there is a restaurant just opposite The only down side to this place is that both times I have stayed the transfer bus has taken me to the sister hotel at the other side of Side - please tell the driver you need to be at the entrance to antique side near the museum. The bus Ian able to go all the way to the pension but the driver will ring the pension and some one will come and meet you. This is a lovely place to stay and is near to the beach, shops and bars. It's a much nicer experience than the big impersonal hotels . For solo travelers - you will be made to feel welcome and many solo people use this hotel so it is easy to make new friends
