We booked this hotel on booking.com because they had a great deal on a double room. It advertises as being close to a small beach, but we didn't see it. It's also not very close to the marina nor bus station in town (about 1.5 km). So when we arrived, we took a taxi that cost about $6.50 (expensive!). The hotel is situated near the boardwalk along the seaside, which is very nice. They also have a pool out front which would be nice if it were really warm.
The reception lady is a very sweet British woman who was very understanding when we discovered we selected the wrong date of our arrival. We still got a room, though (thankfully it's low season!). We ended up with and older room with two twin beds that had been pushed together, and another twin bed in the room. The ensuite bathroom was reminiscent of Korea – the shower wasn't separate, just a shower head over an empty space in the bathroom. There was also a balcony with two comfy chairs that had a small view of the ocean. For what we paid (50 lira/$30 / night), it was perfectly fine.
They added this cute little touch as well.
Breakfast was a typical Turkish breakfast: cucumbers, tomatoes, olives, bread, butter, cheese, jams, coffee or tea, and eggs. Our second morning they served potatoes, fried bread, and sausages in addition to the regular breakfast. The hotel is definitely more of a budget hotel than a mid- or high-end place. But the service was excellent and the breakfast was great. It's a great walk along the boardwalk from the hotel to the center of the city. If you want a cheap place to stay that still provides service and breakfast, choose this hotel. If you want something more central or more recently renovated, then choose a hotel in the center.
