great stay near the harbour

strategic locationnice balconyshower head
the hotel is located strategically. it is near the heart of the city, yet on a quieter side. i could walk to the boat tours, restaurants, and a supermarket was just steps away. i found the rooms were very clean with a nice balcony.
the bathroom shower head needed screwing into the wall properly. also, the water pressure was not good, with settings going from freezing cold to boiling hot. i think there should be more plug sockets near the bed.
Location

the hotel sits conveniently by the water and is near the ferry port. many restaurants and the docks for boat trips are close too. this makes exploring very easy, since everything is within reach.
Rooms

my room had a comfortable bed and air conditioning. it had plenty of storage but with only nine coat hangers, i think it could have been better stocked. the balcony was a good size with a clothes dryer.

fantastic stay by the harbor!

great locationsuper staffbroken shower
the location was amazing, right on the water. it was super close to the ferry port. we found restaurants and docks for boat trips easily. staff members were cute and gave us great recommendations for food.
our shower was broken and i had to wedge a shampoo bottle to make it work, i found this inconvenient. the beds weren't terribly comfortable. our double was two separate beds pushed into one.

I stayed at this hotel for five nights, and the location was indeed perfect. I enjoyed being near the harbor. Breakfast offered a large selection. The rooftop pool area had a snack bar with good food.
The room I stayed in felt a little outdated.

The hotel is situated right on the harbor front, allowing convenient access to various restaurants and shops nearby. Ferry services to Bodrum are just across the road. This makes day trips easy to organize. I liked being able to watch the boats.
