Karamandere Hotels, Istanbul

"A super hotel in an excellent position close to the sea; it has an excellent pool and a great spa, particularly for ladies. Great value, friendly and attentive staff, good-sized clean rooms, most with a great view out over the sea. I’ve been several times, always had fun and an excellent stay. "

"We booked a camping pod (koza) and a karavan and our experience was utterly disappointing. The facilities are in a bad condition, very old &dirty. Around the caravan pod there were beer bottles and plastic rubbish, public showers don't have locked doors but instead they have curtains like a changing room?! The curtain in our room was dirty and ripped off. The beach was full of rubbish, we struggled to find a spot to sit forget about enjoying the sand. As we couldn't use the beach we decided to check their pool and were told to pay 500TL (about £9) per person for a small pool. 1/5 staff we have spoken was friendly.The bedseets were relatively clean. The view from the camping pods is amazing! It is sad how horribly this place is neglected and looked after. I am used to camping and did not go to this place with 5star hotel expectations but this was beyond anything I experienced before. Please clean this place and improve the facilities. "

"Great hotel, clean, nice rooms and very professional staff. Excellent breakfast and has a very convenient location "

"Otele vardığınızda ailenin en sevilen üyesi gibi hissettiriyorlar. Ama asla abartmadan. Butik otel tanımına çok uygun, temiz ve samimi bir ortam. Bahçe son derece keyifli. Hafızamda kar gibi beyaz havlu ve çarşaflar kalacak. Yatak son derece rahat. Kaldığımız oda biraz küçüktü ama yeterli. Kahvaltı çok çeşitli ve lezzetli. En güzeli de yakındaki plaj hizmetlerinden ücretsiz yararlanılıyor. Otel ücreti kadar avantaj sağlıyor. "

"After an unplanned delay in Turkey, we chose to come to Sile whilst we waited for our visas. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. Considering that we arrived at 6am, they went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and got our room ready at 9.30am. The rooms were perfect and very clean and comfortable.An unexpected but delightful stay. A nice alternative to the busyness of Istanbul and only 1 hr form the airport Thank you "

"Thanks for everything "
