Beylerbeyi hotels from HK$256

"Tranquilla is the perfect get away from stressful Istanbul - It's a beautiful and relaxing place, not only near rivers but mountains and the sea. The food and service were amazing too. "

"We were looking forward to a relaxing break away from the city and online the “hotel” seemed perfect for a mini break. However, we were met by uninterested staff who didn’t seem bothered to host guests. The “reception” looks like a bachelor’s living room with cigarettes and snacks scattered everywhere. The room itself was not equipped with what is promised online and we had to ask for coffee and tea provisions. Since they had no coffee in the rooms as promised we asked for a coffee at breakfast; upon checkout they had the audacity to charge for this. It didn’t seem clean and most areas smelt like cigarette smoke, including the room. Also, be warned that this is far off the beaten track and the internet doesn’t work well, so you might find yourself getting lost as well. This place could be lovely if it was run and managed by people who cared about the property and guests. It is interesting that there aren’t many other negative reviews, but then on closer inspection, if you look at many of the reviews in English, they’ve been written by Turkish people, so presumably friends and family of the owners/managers.
