Such a warm welcome on arrival this small family run hotel is clean and ideally located five minutes walk from Sandy beach and bars and restaurants. Ideal location for walk on seafront and promenade to ancient ruins harbour and Appollo and ancient music theatre. Staff helpful and friendly. Thank you Jale (manager) metmet (waiter/ bar and breakfast . fatma (cleaner). This hotel is small quirky some of furniture a bit dated but nice and quirky added to its character and a clean pool with loungers. Balconies small but adequate big enough for two chairs and small table room cleaned every day if you want soft fluffy towels then take your own but that’s just been fussy we were ok with them. Breakfast good choices of cheese bread salad eggs meats and omelette with tea coffee and fruit juice. Lots of lovely friendly cats that staff care for. Mix of nationalities all welcomed. Thank you Carol and Andy
Word of warning Café at the side of Side Saturday market run by two older guys and an older woman right next to / adjoining market do not use they have no price list and charge and rob customers. Examples one coke one small beer 15 euros five small beers 35 euros we witnessed lots of unhappy customers from different nationalities If confronted they just walked away didn’t give correct change!
This hotel is run by a family and has a wonderful atmosphere. I had a wonderful room on top floor with a great terrace and the entire hotel was very clean and airy and cosy. it served wonderful Turkish breakfast. Sometimes I also had a great dinner, made a la carte. I will definately come back.
We ate at the restaurant there quite a few times in our holiday. The food was absolutely super. Very good service. Very reasonable prices. I would recommend the steak and also the lamb chops. The hotel is just off the sea front and the restaurant is situated in a very pleasant garden. The hotel is family run.
Although we weren't staying here this year we visited for food after knowing Jale and her family from the old Raga restaurant. As always a friendly welcome and atmosphere with attentive service and good vibes. Good selection on the menu and good prices. One of those places when you've finished your meal you can quite easily pass away the night with a few more beers or cay. Jale and Co are like family to us all and it's great to see them doing well
We have stayed in Villa Gizem and would recommend this recently refurbished hotel that has been taken over by a lovely family that can't do enough for you. Jale is great and so is Arun the waiter.Lovely clean hotel and in a great position for beach and bars and restaurants. Sandra and Ken Marshall enjoyed our stay.
