Area Hotel

This was the second stay at the area for me and ive recently booked there again for next year. The hotel is basic but has everything you need from wifi to hairdryers. They are cleaned everyday and the staff are very friendly. The pool is amazing and there's always plenty of sunbeds available. The pool area is spacious so you don't feel crammed in. All in all great experience everytime I go never have any problems with the hotel.

We've just spent 2 weeks at area hotel and we thought it was fine,..right on the beach and central for everything,..yes rooms are small,..but ours was slightly bigger than our friends as we had a smaller balcony as we were right in the corner of the hotel,..but could still see the lovely sea n pool...yes the hotel is basic but we knew that when we booked and we only used it for a base,. Breakfast fine bit samey but did us..owner was very friendly and always gave us a wave whenever he saw us,..bedding n towels were all clean and maid did a great job keeping our rooms tidy,..lovely bar area,..we never ate there but the food looked very nice...bar staff friendly to,..big shout out for the 2 young lads that never seemed to stop working from morning till night,. You did a great job keeping things tidy..all in all I would definitely stay here again..its not luxury so don't go expecting it,..for the money we paid we where happy with what we got,...with amazing views and friendly staff.

Lovely, Turkish-family owned simple “pension” style hotel, very well positioned just back from the seafront. We just returned yesterday from a week long stay there and found it very comfortable. It is more Turkish style than perhaps other hotels (darker inside, to keep cooler in the very hot summer months) with Turkish silks on the wall and the wrought ironwork you see frequently on more traditional buildings. English is spoken but is limited - however, you can still discern the genuine warmth towards guests even if there’s a language barrier! We were given a room overlooking both the pool and the sea, which had a beautiful view. There is a little balcony, more for standing on to look over said view as it’s quite small. Little wires were strung tightly across for hanging towels and beachwear, with clothes pegs provided. The twins beds put together were EXTREMELY comfortable - my husband is very fussy and hates a hard bed but these mattresses were supportive and comfy without being hard. They provide a cotton blanket for each bed as a cover. We were a bit perplexed at first - but after trying them, I’m definitely ordering some to use at home during hot months; they were so comfortable to use as a coverlet. Being October, we didn’t use the a/c (which is included in the room rate price) until we were packing on the morning we left and it worked very well, and quickly. The rooms are on the small side but enough. Plenty of wardrobe space and drawer space, so we totally unpacked to give us more room. The room was very clean and towels were changed everyday. The bathroom was adequate; the shower leaked a bit, but the shower itself was good and strong. There is a surprisingly good hairdryer supplied. The pool was very nice; large and had flotation things/lilos etc for guest use plus a small baby pool. Walking past and through the little garden, you are at the beach in two minutes! There is an Italian restaurant right by and an ice-cream and fresh fruit juice vendor the other side on the promenade as you walk out. The only negatives were that they have keycards for the room key, which necessitates a heavy reader box on the door. This means the doors have a tendency to “slam” shut and the noise can be loud. During the height of the season, when the hotel’s full, you could be potentially disturbed by guests constantly slamming doors (a problem you also always get in large corporate hotels). We do have to mention the breakfast, which could be improved really. Eggs (pre boiled) are served and there is often a variety of bread, with a toaster. Some cheese sometimes available, some fresh yoghurt (which was very nice), but that’s about it. Fresh fruit juice would’ve been nice, considering there are so many oranges and pomegranates about and/or some fruit. Some local honey and jams would’ve also been nice to have. There is a coffee machine which serves very hot coffee, which was nice. Breakfast stops abruptly at just before 10am, but a
