Twins Hotel Çeşme

Incredibly friendly staff, very clean and spacious room. Amazing price/performance ratio. Boyalık beach easily reachable in a few minutes. Minibus to Çeşme and Alaçatı right in front of the hotel. Sufficient breakfast. Very reasonable prices for drinks at the pool. I have no complains and will come back for sure.

This is the first Terrible review I've ever given on any of the sites I regularly use (love to travel). I discovered upon arriving that I did not included my toddler to the booking and was getting weird vibes when we arrived for our 2-night stay ("you sure you're at the right hotel?" -The guy carrying our luggage to the reception). The booking included the rest of us and I offered to book an extra room or pay extra for my baby (who would have slept next to me but ok, whatever to resolve the issue) but the lady the very surly receptionist called in translate had very rough english and more or less said that their establishment does not accept young children. I was absolutely shocked. This isn't my first trip to Turkey and at this point, I've been here for a few weeks this time around, travelling from one city to the next along the coast. This has never happened. I told her that they should include that in their *********** description and they said they can't do that (supposedly they tried but maybe *********** doesn't allow for such discrimination? It was hard to tell with the limited communication). Clearly they had a specific type of clientele and didn't want to mess with that. We sat in the lobby for 30minutes or so while I tried to book another hotel in the area. I cancelled this reservation and they refunded me. The translator was kind and offered my other kids something sweet to eat while waiting, she also called a taxi for us. Regardless of the above, I was glad they asked us to look elsewhere because my first impression of the hotel upon arriving was "whoa, the photos make it look so much nicer than reality" the pool is pretty much on the main street with just a small barrier blocking it. The walls need repainting and it's chipping off in a lot of places. Pool was overcrowded with adults. Not a single child in sight (quickly discovered why). Old furniture in the lobby which doubles as a restaurant it seems. Yes, I'm a hotel snob, I travel extensively and it's all in the details regardless of how fancy or modest a hotel is. Seemed clean and location not too far from the beach but would need to take a taxi to get there as the hotel is on a main street. Basically, it's where middle-aged adults on a budget go to get drunk and relive their youth.
