“Excellent value for money, great location!”

After booking this holiday very last minute we were delighted with the quality of accomodation. Very basic as we had already been informed via trip advisor, but clean, friendly and most importantly brilliant location. Although the standard of finish in the hotel was awful, carpets hadn't been fitted properly, there were big gaps under the doors etc. we only really needed to sleep and shower in the room and it was clean and comfortable and very cheap!
Not having been to Kusadasi before we didn't realise that Ladies Beach, where this hotel is, wasn't Kusadasi town itself. From what I could see there is no real beach in Kusadasi only man made beaches that belong to hotels. Therefore Ladies Beach is a better place for those wanting to spend the day on the beach and Kusadasi is only a 10 minute dolmus ride away. I would definitely reccommend going there in the evenings and looking around for a decent restaurant as lots of them are catering for a foreign market and strangely all have very similar menus with very little Turkish food, but serving Italian, Indian and Mexican food which we found very strange! Most of the resaurants in Ladies Beach are quite pricey for what you actually get but we had a couple of enjoyable meals in Suphis Place.
In Kusadasi on our last few nights we discovered about four very basic fish places right by the harbour that were packed all night. The fish was all fresh and mainly fried served with salad and bread. It was very tasty, very reasonable and all of the restaurants were full of Turks which is always a good sign. We also found a couple of places selling Turkish food and one place that served a mixed kebab actually on a mini barbeque that was delicious. Again I would reccommend exploring a bit to find these better places as a lot have the standard menu of every nationality!!
Ladies Beach did get quite crowded but the sunbeds are supplied by the local council so atleast you know that money is going to the town. The beds cost 5tl each and if you want an umbrella it is another 5. Not cheap but if you go I would reccommend trying to get there early and get beds in the front row. It seemed to be hotter any where further back and felt a bit claustrophobic. We actually discovered a beach about 40mins away that we reached by getting a dolmus to Kusadasi then another one that goes to love beach and long beach. Although we didn't go to either of these specific beaches they are on the same stretch and it is much more spacious. Worth a visit.

“friendliest hotel i know”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 July 2008

we have just returned from 2 weeks h/b at the minay which we enjoyed very much.the staff were superb , nothing was too much trouble,even the owner was on hand each day if you had any queries.we have happy memories of good evenings at the pool bar where we were entertained by mahoney the very happy bartender.we will go again but not h/b as the food is turkish and we like bacon and egg breakfasts(just around the corner and very reasonable)in all i found the minay very clean and comfortable,even the air con is included and i would certainly reccomend the minay

The hotel is very very basic. While staff are freindly the do not seem to have the ability to solve problems and no real care to help. The hotel is a lot smaller than it looks on the pics and a lot cleaner too.

Rooms are bare and small. Basic ammenities and not very clean. Horrible carpet on the floor and air con systems that kick out black stuff onto the balcony and therefore all over your clothes.

The food is by far the worst i have ever experinced. I will eat anything and am not one of those holiday makers that expect chips, what i do xpect tho is a variety to choose from. What was on offer was melon... and melon morning noon and night, and no other sweet option. one variety of main meal, either stew type thing or a fish dish but you were only allowed one spoon of rice. There was lots of salad type things but the flies were all over it and the bread. Nothing was kept cool and nothing kept hot.

Drinks are expensive and there are no free drinks on arrival. We were given the wrong room on arrival, which hadnt been cleaned and was for 2 (there were 3 me, my mum and son) but they did move us in the moringing.

The hotel is a GOOD walk from ladies beach (which is lovely) and uphill coming back. Not near to any bars or resturants they are all down the road by ladies beach. Much better to get the dolmus into the town in the evening and thats just pennies.

The music around the pool was ear bleedingly loud. To the point there was no one round it all day... thats until everyone complained that much the bar tender got the sack.

Generally was a great holiday because we met some nice people and generally liked kusadasi but would advise there are much better hotels in the area - had we been there alone it would have been terrible.
