This is a small, well located hotel - more like a guesthouse than a hotel, as it only has half a dozen rooms in the main building plus two apartments with are down the road (5 - 10 mins walk). We stayed in one of the apartments which was very nice - a great sea view which is a good... More

My adult sons and I stayed at the Apricot Hotel twice during a recent visit to Turkey. Not only was it excellent value for the money, but the owner, Hakan was extremely helpful advising us about our trip to other parts of Turkey, for which we had not made plans.

Each morning their is a large selection of items in the complementary breakfast and... More

Our room at the Apricot Hotel was a real disappointment. It was tiny, with very little space to put things, but that was tolerable. Less acceptable was the thick coating of dust on top of the wardrobe, where glasses on a tray had been placed. The bathroom was disaster: a shower door with a large gap at the bottom so... More
