We knew we wanted to stay in a central location close to the harbour and town and had a list of 3 hotels that we already knew were within walking distance: The Dome Hotel, The Colony and The British Hotel. One was cheap and cheerful, one at around €100 per room per night and the other a bit over this price.
The British Hotel was the one we chose – and we were very pleased with it. We were allocated Rooms 203 and 204 on the second floor which gave us a view across the harbour. Not an altogether clear view as there was some slight obstruction but the owner had moved us up a floor at no extra cost which was fantastic!
The rooms had laminate flooring with modern dark wood furniture, crisp white duvets/continental quilts and dark purple counterpanes. A couple of purple coloured chairs complimented the room. A small fridge/mini-bar with reasonable prices (5TL for a beer – approx €2). The bathroom was perfectly adequate and clean as well as sporting a full length shower curtain. An added bonus was a small TV in the bedroom.
Our small balcony with 2 chairs looked out over the harbour and the sea to the left or over to the roof bar of a neighbouring hotel in front of us along the harbour front called the White Pearl.
We will definitely return to the British Hotel for another visit!
