Nazar Apartments

1 reader found this review helpful

Rooms basic and fairly clean. Staff were very friendly and work very hard, so couldn't moan about them at all! Main moan is the horrendous smell of sewers when sat by the pool or anywhere infact, around the outside of the building! Turns out that the main sewer drains run along side the building! Particularly unpleasant! Breakfast was particularly boring, if you aren't into cucumber, olives, tomatoes and cake for your breakfast, don't bother paying B&B! You can eat out so cheaply it's never worth it!
Be very careful by the lifts, as the doors open outwards and there is little to no room in the corridor to get out the way if someone opens the door quickly, as my husband discovered after being hit full in the face by the metal door, as some excited teen flung the door open with no considreation for the fact that there could be someone walking past!
Would avoid Turkey July & August as it was VERY crowded with Turkish holiday makers, who don't always appreciate you being there! Beach beautiful, sea warm, hassle from shop owners still a pain, although not as bad now.
Take food and drink to Bodrum airport on your way home if needed, as they want £4 just for a can of Coke, or a snack could set you back at least £10!!

Only 1 word to describe the Nazar is fantastic. It is only rated as a 2 star hotel, but it is one of the best 2 star hotels I have stayed in here in Turkey. The staff were very attentive and the rooms although basic were very clean. Only 1 downfall is the pool backs on to a small sewerage treatments works and sometimes, depending on the wind you can get a smell but the pool area itself is immaculate and the staff always willing to help with sunbeds, drinks, etc. The hotel itself is in a great location - only 2 or 3 minutes and you are on the beach front. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

My holiday was great, the hotel was great up until 13th August 2008, and don't let this put you off Altinkum itself, but about 10 members of staff from Big Nose Bar on the same street ran out into the street weilding knives and big sticks and attacked two other men on the street, beating them both and stabbing one of the men, whilst this man lay on the floor bleeding and another man covered him with his body to protect him these animals continued to kick him, so it's up to you as to whether you want to visit this bar but there are much nicer and friendlier places in Altinkum.

we was given the wrong rooms when we arived and it took 2day before we could change them, we had booked 2 double and got 2 twin rooms. there was a realy bad smell all over the hotel. when i asked the locals what it was they told us it was the sewers next door to hotel, the towles and bed sheets was only chaged once on are two week stay and that was because i had asked about it, there wasa live plug hanging of the wall in my sons room.
the staff was friendly and tried to help. the food was ok. would not go back to this hotel again we are going back to altikum this year but are staying swome where else.
