Kas is a beautiful town, and as such has attracted a multitude of visitors. Many visitors means many hotels and pensions, and boy does Kas have them by the dozens. Some of them were closed or operating at half-staff while we were there (low season and all). But I can imagine how full every room is and how busy the streets are in the middle of summer. The Kayahan Hotel is located on a street that has many other hotels and pensions; it's actually called “Hotel and Pension Street”.
We booked Kayahan on booking.com because they had a special rate for the winter season. We spent a little extra and got a sea view room. It was amazing and totally worth the price! The room had a balcony that overlooked the town and the harbor and the sea. The bed was soft and had extra blankets for the cold night. Most of the hotels in this area of Turkey have air-conditioner units that turn into heating units instead of a radiator; Kayahan is no different. The bathroom had a shower stall and everything else. It took about 5 minutes to get hot water, but had no problem once it got going.
The hotel had a fantastic terrace on the top floor where they served a typical Turkish breakfast. It also overlooked the sea and town. There were small openings above the windows where little birds would squeeze through and come into the room to try and eat some bread. They never disturbed people eating, only when people left. The staff had to be quick about cleaning up, otherwise the birds would attack the bread basket if there was any bread left over! But like I said, they never disturbed us otherwise.
They have a pool but we did not partake. They also offered laundry service which was nice. On your way to the hotel from the bus station or city center, you have to walk up a slight hill, but it's not terrible and every hotel is on a hill. Overall, we recommend the Kayahan and especially the sea view rooms!
