Tiara Buyukada

Right now we are in our room.we have come here for just one night but from the beginning Ms Birsen whom we contacted for reservation on the phone was very kind and helpful.we requested sea view room and as she promised she gave the best room for us.it is very clean very fresh clored(white)designed room which you can see the awesome view from the window.they even have cattle to have hot water,tea and Nescafe.we tight recommend this hotel and next time we are planning to come with our parents and children.thank you for your hospitality and clean service.

Stayed here for one night, on a B &B basis, our first room overlooked the sea, we had to move rooms because the Air Con was not fit for purpose, the second room was just as bad and it was like an oven, the small fridge in the room again was not fit for purpose and the water would would have been colder it had been left in the matchbox bathroom. The breakfast was poor to say the least, no fruit juices etc just a very very plain Turkish breakfast, then we had to chase the waiter down for a top up of Cay. Certainly not worth the money we paid for it… it certainly wasn’t cheap.

This perfectly situated restaurant called to me from the street, as the music was so mellow and provided the perfect accompaniment to the view and general ambience created by the charming owners. I enjoyed a glass of excellent house white wine, walked for an hour looking at the wonderful old houses that line the road, and returned for lunch. I had the recommended vine leaf wrapped rice and cherries, and a tomatoe and walnut dish, both of which were divine. Sea bass en papillote followed with more of the house white. This place is magic and I would make the journey again just to enjoy lunch again, in company next time

We were so dissappointed by the receptionist lady whose name is Meryem Gündüz. We were just 5 minutes late for the breakfast on Sunday the breakfast ends so early for Sundays btw. When we asked the floor of breakfast She just said breakfast is already finished. When we say it is just 5 minutes we re late maybe we have chance they still serve it, she even didnt care she said go ahead to check no info from her or any kindness to call the restaurant, When we went to restaurant people were still eating and they were still serving . When we said can we have breakfast the waitor response was also so rude even still they were serving the answer was it is already 10:35 it is closed and said that we can serve you here Alacart at the same place with the same things there that already people eating. The hotelonly focus on the money they wana charge you more as more as possible. NEVER ADVICE THAT PLACE TO ANYONE not to be regretful in your holiday..

I have to long story with this hotel, so before you decide to book for sure read my review (will explain every detail) We all know that booking is not working in Turkey , so I always look for hotels on google map (call and reserve, works most of the time) So found a hotel, checked pictures , liked it and told my Turkish speaking friend to call, Made reservation, transferred 50% of money and was looking for to spend my holiday with my guests(parents) there. But fortunately my friend arrived before me and told that there was no Pool , the picture all of us see on google map , is uploaded by customer and its just a view , So okay , I called them , explained situation that i wanted hotel with pool , and wanted chargeback , because of fake information on their page. I was calling almost 1 week that i wanted refund , so they said it was against their policy , and offered just to add money and stay 2 nights, My guests arrived and i had no option so okay i agreed Spoke with manager , and she said that every bad review was fake about them and their hotel an cafe was the best on the island and we would see it with our family eyes , and we just gave them chance and thought that the reviews were too much. First of all No !! noooo 1. After ride with ferry, went upstairs on their cafe , ordered 4 meals : burger, fish, kofta and salad , 4 different meals and all of them were tasteless and overpriced. Left almost 100$ there and it did not worth it at all . 2. Breakfast- they have 1 plate - 1 boiled egg, 2 slices of cheese , 1 tooth-spoon jams , something like sausage with tomato ( who eats tomato sauce chili in the morning) and tea . They did not have coffee , but if you order it for 50 liras , you will get it, and they have written ,while booking that Breakfast is included, but no ! 3. In the evening,on 11th o’clock, the terrace closes, and there is no space in whole hotel , where our family could sit , maybe balcony or terrace or something just to breathe . 4. The room is extra small, needs renovation totally, beds are too small , me and husband had one blanket and it did not covered even legs , conditioner remote is on the wall , but it does not work properly, so if you will be cold while sleeping, you have to wake up , go to reception and ask them to regulate temperature. The manager even advised us the worst beach on the island 😀 So I totally wont advice to choose this hotel .

We were on a day trip to Buyukada from Istanbul and arrived in time to look for lunch. I had not been on the island since 1965 and wondered up the hill from the ferry dock. We walked past Tiara and heard live saxophone so we stopped. The proprietor met us with a smile and a great table with view. We had beers and a delicious light lunch of an eggplant yoghurt salad and stuffed grape leaves followed by a roast chicken and vegetables. All in all a very delightful stop with great people running the show. Enjoy
