Gürses Life Hotel

This was our second time staying at Gürses Life Hotel. We chose to return as we were very pleased the first time staying there. While the hotel is located downtown, it is in a side street so you don’t hear the traffic. This year we went there in June. We noticed that it took some time before the sun reached the pool area, while in August the sun covers the pool area roughly all day. If craving sun, it is however a short distance to the beach (approx 10 min walking). The staff is very friendly, not everyone speaks English but a lot can be accomplished with the help of Google translate. We have arrived at night both times where receptionist has had little English knowledge but this has not been an issue for us. Rooms: we have had family apartment rooms both time where we have access to fridge and kitchen area as we like to prepare our own breakfast. Size on room has been good, bed are good. Pillows are a little bit hard but it’s ok for 1-2 weeks vacation. I like their system were you have to press a button to signal housekeeping that you want the room cleaned. As we do not need HC everyday, this was a great way to signal. First time seeing this in hotel in Turkey and I wish more would use it. (There’s a panel next to room door where you can press buttons if you want cleaning/DND) All in all, we are very pleased with our stay at Güses. As mentioned before, staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Nice property if you get the new block...didn't see the apartment rooms in the old block, so cant comment on those. Breakfasts were typical turkish breakfast foods....eggs tomatoes ives watermelon, cheese etc. Very friendly staff who were always willing to accommodate. Didn't use the pools ,but they looked clean and there is a separate pool for children. Location is great as its right near the city centre and the public beach is pretty much right across the street, not even 5 minutes away. The castle beach is a little further , but a reasonable distance away, no problem walking to it. If you're looking for a hotel with a bar, they dont serve alcohol, but there's a little restaurant/bar across the street . Worth the money :)
