Nizam Butik Otel Buyukada

The hotel is in the best location in the island. All walking and running tracks, beaches best views are all around. But it is 3 km almost away from the docking Bay of the boats. The only transport available are horse carriages which are very scarce and not available after 22:00. So if you are elderly or have small children falling asleep in your arms at that time of the night and you came from a tour in the mainland, be prepared to spend your night on the benches close to the docking station or walk 3 km. Another thing: if you are an early riser you have to wait for the hotel staff to wake up and prepare breakfast from 9:30 a. m. onwards. So do not plan any early trips or plans outside the island if you want to have breakfast first. And here is the catch 22 situation: if you leave the island at 11:00 am. Then most probably you will be back after the horses go to sleep. The hotel boasts about rooms with Seaview and yes there is some Seaview if you can climb up the roof or wait for a convenient moment when the wind moves the branches of the trees and maybe you can catch a glimpse through the branches. The rooms are tiny. We asked for 2 rooms for 3 people. The third person had to sleep on a mattress on a very dirty floor. Then you have to be very careful not to step on him since there is no space to walk around to go to the bathroom. So if you like camping conditions it is OK. But not being promised a "boutique" hotel and be forced to live in such conditions.
