Hotel Saadet

Travelled alone but as I had previously lived in Altinkum for 16 years , I was basically looking for a hotel that was in good location close to bars where I could meet up with friends and The SAADET hotel didn’t disappoint. It’s 10 min walk downhill or 200 tl taxi ride to the beach where plenty bars & restaurants are available . The room was in need of some renovation , but everywhere was very clean with maid service & clean towels everyday . Air conditioning was an extra at £5 a night & if you wanted fridge that was an additional charge also . There is a nice pool area which was very relaxing and Baris and family are very helpful. I enjoyed my stay and am booked to return in October.

For a budget hotel, i’d say it’s less than satisfactory. Additional cost: Aircon- Machine is by brown and dated. Bleeps like crazy and turns off every 10 minutes and floods the dresser underneath it. You pay £5 a day and it makes the room no cooler. You cannot leave it on throughout the day even tho you have paid for the day as you have to leave the card that is welded to your room key in the holder for the electricity to work. Fridge- You have to pay £5 a day for this “extra” as the switch on the circuit board outside your room is turned off unless you pay. However it does mean that in your room other than this socket you have 1 socket to be able to charge any devices. You can’t leave any devices on charge either as the card that turns on the electricity has to go out with you. The beds are rock hard and the pillows are either rock hard or we had 1 soft one. If you left the do not disturb sign on your room the cleaners will ignore it and bang your door down anyways as it seems they want to be finished by lunch time/ early afternoon. if you leave the do not disturb on whilst you go out they will enter your room anyways and move all your stuff around. we felt it was unnecessary for the cleaners to go in everyday. The rooms were cleaned to a good standard but the phrase polishing a turd comes to mind. The actual hotel is very dated, the wallpaper is peeling off all the walls and patch worked over old wallpaper. Skirting boards are falling off and in general dated decor. In my sisters room, the towel rail fell off, bathroom bulb blew and door hinges snapped off. The bathroom was very very small, the size of two people stood side by side, no room to manoeuvre. The shower was very small and had a bath shower head with minimal pressure it was either stone cold or boiling hot. you couldn’t move the shower head without it falling off to prevent it from flooding the bathroom every single time it was used. The shower curtain meant the water just continued to flood out even with a 1-2 minute shower. Quite pointless to pay for the fridge as having your own food and drink within the hotel is frowned upon by the owner and you will be made to feel guilty for bringing it in with filthy looks. The owner will tell you off for having your own drinks by the pool even though the selection offered at the hotel is minimal. We didn’t try any food offered at the hotel other than the breakfast as we felt putting more money into the hotel was not worth it as it quite obviously wasn’t put back into the hotel for the guest’s satisfaction. The breakfast was minimal, a dated toast machine with butter, cornflakes, fruit and boiled eggs that were green inside so we ate outside the hotel from the first day. The town nearby is beautiful and has lots of shops were they will all encourage you go in and food is excellent prices within the town. It’s about a 10 minute walk to the town and a steep hill return to the hotel so well worth the £4 (200 lira) taxi back to the hotel

Clean and comfortable hotel 4 storey with a lift lovely Turkish breakfast and 10-15 mins to the beach very friendly family run hotel very nice pool area and bar enjoyed our stay and hoping to go back next year.

Lovely family run hotel very clean family very friendly and helpful only 15/20 minutes from beach lovely pool and a nice wee pool bar definitely recommend. Hoping to go back next year. Rooms very clean. Also I think you can book direct irs cheaper than going through a travel agent.

I'm a single traveller that's just arrived back from staying 3 weeks at this lovely affordable hotel. As a single traveller, it was a pleasent surprise to find multiple other single travellers also staying here as well. A small family run buisness, which in my oppion, offers you a warm and welcoming stay. I tried multiple meals from the food menu during my stay, all of which tasted very nice and reasonably priced too. The location is very close to the main bullevard and, is also a 10 minute brisk walk to the beach, which is quite busy. Generally, the Turkish people can't be any more friendlier which made my stay feel very safe and extremely enjoyible. Thank you Baris at the hotel Saadet, I'll be staying at your hotel again in the future. Dermot
