Currently staying at this hotel. This is most definitely not a 4* hotel, it’s pushing to say it is even 3*. Arrived yesterday, our room smells of damp. Spoke to reception who told us all the rooms on our side smelt like that as they were being done up. When initially shown our room we were told that our room had just been done up and is one of the new rooms. However because of the smell I asked to be moved to the side of the hotel that did not smell and was told the hotel was full. There was no offer of changing us at another time when one became available. We like to sit out on our balcony at times to chill, no chance of that here, the balcony is tiny and faces a very close grim looking wall. The room ,
We had excellent time, Eddy organised for us a boat trip which was amazing! Definitely recommend the place as food and all atmosphere is superb!
Hotel need a some improvement. But otherwise all the staff are very friendly, respectful and helpful. Food has good choices (fish,meat,salads) We met Eddy who recommended boat trip at Captain Jack boat and it was the best day !! Market just 5min walk from hotel (and who doesn’t like bargains) Will I come again?? YES
We had fabulous time / week at Solana by Yelken Hotel. Everyone was very respectful, kind, Food was tasty, Entertainment team -Tuğcee was great, Eddy who helped us organised all day boat trip “Captain Jack” which was our best boat experience-totally recommend! Hotel needs a bit of DIY but overly okay.
I don’t like writing bad reviews but this hotel needs to know where it’s going wrong. I will start with the positives.! Location is perfect and next to bars, restaurants and shops. Cleanliness is great all around the hotel and rooms cleaned daily. That’s the positive, now for the negative.!! The staff are friendly and attentive and do their job well apart from the animation girl who did nothing but sit using her phone and the young man in reception who also spent most of his time on his phone or outside smoking. Entertainment was minimal with a singer two nights out of ten. The balcony was a six foot by two triangle and barely fits two people. The outside seats were just plastic with no padding which made for an uncomfortable sit. The worst part of the whole experience was the food..!!!!! The same every day for ten days. Chicken or turkey stew, rice or salad. Breakfast consisted of eggs, boiled, scrambled, fried or omelette and cold chips and some sort of horrible sausage. Lunch was burgers, hot dogs and chips every day. Just the same thing day in day out..!! There’s so much that can be done to this hotel to make it just right but corners are cut at every opportunity. The pool toilets stank and could easily be remedied with an air freshener over the drains. Cushions in the seats, ect. The spa area and the gym stink of damp and paint is peeling off the walls. I’m sorry but I won’t be back because what is advertised as a four star hotel only gets a three at most from me. You will notice that most of the reviews written here are from Turkish patrons who make up 95% of the clientele. I wish the Solana by Yelken all the best for the future but please take my advice and change things for the future.
