" We`ve just came back from Turkey,... "
Submitted By: Miss K Fabianova
We`ve just came back from Turkey, Istankoy Hotel. The hotel was nice, small rooms, but clean. The staff was friendly but they tried to charge us for everything.They even don`t allow to bring your own drinks and food in which I consider very unplesante and I didn`t respect it. I don`t like any prohibitions like this while being on my holiday once a year.All rooms are around the pool where the music is played loudly till the late night and because non-guests are welcomed as well it was very noisy most of the nights. I was very very dissapointed with the beach, it was close,that`s true but full of people.I expected a sandy beach and the nice clean sea but it was far too long from this.Just sharp pebbles and the sea looking like a dirty lake.I also can`t recommend the trips which they offer at almost every corner in Bodrum.We went to see Pamukkale and Turtle beach through Queen Travel Agency and they took us to every single factory on the way in case we`d like to buy something and we had like 2 hours in Pamukkale only and 1 hour on the Turtle beach and that was ridiculous.The guide was very unfriendly when we complained about it and didn`t do anything. I`d rather pay more for renting a car then experience this again.I wouldn`t recommend the Istankoy hotel unless you want to have a crazy night life. The area is full of rich turkish people but they expect big tips everywhere you go.I didn`t get it.I probably won`t go to Turkey ever again.

" I visited Turkey for the first time... "
Submitted By: Mrs J Russell
I visited Turkey for the first time and enjoyed the holiday so much that I have re booked for next year.
Unfortunately I had to change to Marmaris as flight times form Glasgow to Bodrum are now night flights only.
Staff at hotel where polite and helpful and rooms where kept spotless. the Turkish night with buffet was great value, but watch out for mistakes with bill etc.
Going on a boat trip is a must and was very reasonable.

" I stayed at the Istankoy in July.... "
Submitted By: Mrs G Ancliff
I stayed at the Istankoy in July. Having previously lived in Turkey I have a good understanding of the cleanliness standards most Turkish adhere to.
Turkish people are usually the cleanest people you can meet. Not at the Istankoy. The mini bar was filthy. The cleaner did come in every day to tidy up, but unfortunately he didn't think this included the use of water. The toilet leaked.
The hotel was overpriced for drinks; they don't allow any food or drink from the outside. You need to check the reception daily in order to stop them charging you for drinks you haven't had.
During our time there customers got into a fight at 5 am, the staff refused to intervene until other guests complained.
The food however is nice; the breakfast is simple that’s how Turkish have it. The only people who would like the hotel are singles under 25. As it caters mainly for the younger set. Don't go if you want a family holiday.
However Bodrum region is beautiful, the people friendly and it's still possible to bag a bargain.

Submitted By: Ms J Carolan
The staff at the hotel are very friendly and helpful; Erhan the manager could not do enough to make sure all his guest were enjoying their stay at the Istankoy.
Our room was cleaned every day and the we found the food to be of a high standard.
They also offer a Turkish Night on a Friday which was very good.
We have enjoyed our stay so much that we have booked to go back in August 07.
I would recommend this Hotel as it is near all the local shops and cafe/bars.

Submitted By: Mrs P Gogarty
This was the first time that I have been to Turkey on arrival I thought where have I booked but once I entered the hotel the manager and staff were very helpful and friendly the maid service was brilliant could not find one single fault with the work that they did.
Bar staff (Burak & Akim) where very friendly and helpful all ready to entertain you or talk at the time of this holiday I had been have very bad problems at home they were very understanding and all around to cheer me up and listen when I needed some one to talk to.
Aaron the manager what a person if you have any problem he will always be at hand to help to sort them out hot water pillows anything was no trouble at all for him. When we did eat in at the hotel the food was very nice you could see that the food had been freshly cooked. The chef (Behcet) always had a smile for you and always asking if you are ok. The hotel is in a perfect place as it is close to everything that you need. I do not know about the hotel being rated as a 2 star hotel if it was up to me I would give it 4 stars.
The boss when he comes to visit the hotel is always welcoming and kind.
I have enjoyed it so much that I have booked to go back in November 06 and May 07 and September ‘07 all I can say is very well done to all the staff and manager. Would recommend this hotel to everyone.

Submitted By: Lws Sibbring
We stayed for two weeks at the end of July in 2006. Our stay was ok it was a nice holiday but I wouldn’t go again.
The staff were very friendly and we have stayed in contact with the manager. We met a lot of people their, with it being a small hotel you talked to a lot of them. The pool was very small and dirty but still ok. It would be better if they made it bigger and cleaner. It was very expensive in the hotel so we used to sneak drinks in because your not aloud to bring in food or drink.
The hotel is opposite the beach which is very good and not far from bar street which is a good night out. All together it wasn’t perfect but it was still a great holiday. Hotel Istankoy Kusadasi.
