When my friend and I were planning our vacation in Turkey and considered this hotel we were a bit sceptical due to the different reviews we found online. People were complaining about the noise level, poor cleaning of rooms, etc. However, for the price we paid and the hotel´s great location we thought we´d risk it and see. We´re so happy we made that choice! Our room was right next to the bar/restaurant area and facing the street with other bars and we had zero issues with noise. Yes, we could hear some music from the outside but it stopped at midnight and even before that, I would not describe it as disturbing or too much. Our room was cleaned daily, the bed was always made, and the towels were changed, all good on that as well. Our only "issue" which is not really an issue, just a minor misstep - one day the cleaning staff forgot to give us new towels after collecting the old ones. We just went by the reception and explained the situation and got new towels immediately. The food and staff in the restaurant and on the beach were also great. Eating with the view of the beach is amazing. If you come by for a drink, you´ll get a plate of fruits on the side for free. The prices are a bit higher, but it´s completely understandable and expected - after all, it is a tourist location and there is currently super high inflation. Overall, I feel like all the negative reviews are written by either elderly people who can´t stand even a little bit of music or by people who expect a 5-star experience from a 3-star hotel. I feel that this hotel provides great service (considering it´s a 3-star hotel) for a good price. And the staff is super welcoming so whenever someone comes with a question or a request or an issue to be solved, they will do their best to help. It´s just a matter of coming to them and voicing out what you want/need. Would definitely like to come to this hotel again!

This hotel is in a nice area right on the beach front, the staff was helpful and friendly. The hotel and the rooms was nice and kept clean to a good standard. The breakfast was ok and did the job but unfortunately the only issue I had with the hotel was the super loud music!. The music from surrounding areas and even the hotel bar was that loud you could feel the room shaking, if you want a relaxing peaceful holiday then unfortunately I couldn’t recommend this hotel. The music does cut off at midnight and some of the days I don’t have an issue sitting up to around midnight but for me the issue is when you have early starts for tours and transfer back to the airport you just have no chance getting any sleep what so ever if you want an early night!. In the end I couldn’t wait to get home just for a bit of peace and quiet!. It’s a great shame because like I mentioned the staff, rooms, location and hotel in general was really nice but sadly because of the super loud music I wouldn’t stay again. If you don’t plan on doing any tours or have no early starts then I would highly recommend the hotel.
