Nothing said in the previous review is incorrect but the place is fun! Should you wish little fish…read morewill nibble off your foot callouses ( not my thing- strangely I also saw this in Derry -Northern Ireland).A net work of hot to cold spa pools presents itself.I indulged, in fact, I overindulged.you can coat yourself with mud , I did.I drink Turkish Brandy at the bar.Turkish wine is good .The brandy has a lighter fluid quality to it but it's cheaper than the imported stuff.I would have stayed longer!

It was 'fine' but compared to the Crowne Plazas and the other top hotels on our tour (Glories of…read moreTurkey tour with Neon) this one was by far the lowest on our list. The draw here is their thermal waters pools, which feel good and look cool. The brown shell of the pool is faked to look geolocially correct, but the waters are piped in from the mountain, and there is mineral mud from the bottom that you slather all over yourself. this is all included in your room, as well as a large outdoor regular pool. But the room was small and very 'dated'. it was clean, but was old with stains and worn out parts. Much like a motel 6 in the states. The beds were absolute rock, and i like a hard bed. They had no give at all - i actually checked to see if there as a board under the mattress and sheet. the other downside was the food - pretty bad. not bad like rotten just flavorless and old. we had dinner and breakfast, both were really not good and i ate very little at breakfast. stick with the breads and cheeses and you will do ok. there is nothing in the neighborhood, so just stick to the thermal pool and get yourself so hot and dizzy that youre ready to pass out and wont notice the old room and rock hard bed. There is a free belly dance show (though they encourage you to order a drink or 2) by the pool at 9:30, so that is cool too. All in all, nothing terribly 'wrong' with this hotel, but as the 3 stars says - 'ok' .

This review is for the hotel accommodations and breakfast. See my previous review on their…read morerestaurant. PROS: Very homey vibe here. It feels like an old country home. There is a newer building and that is the Venus Suite Hotel, but you all have the same pools, the same breakfast, the same lobby and public areas. The building for the Suite Hotel just looks newer and swankier, but honestly I like the homey feel of the older Venus Hotel. The staff is super friendly. They'll drop you off at the ruins/salt baths whenever you need. They are very chill about rules - we got there very early on a Tuesday and were leaving at 5 am the next day, so when they realized this they said we could have breakfast that first day. Another couple had the check our time wrong and they were fine with that. It feels very family run. Our Booking.com confirmation email said our room was 40€, but they hadn't charged anything to our credit card (they said that sometimes people show up and they just don't charge anything - they just don't take any credit card info from Booking.com). They charged us 60TL for our room, which comes out to only 20€! There are two pools, each about 12m long (I'm a swimmer; estimating). The robes they provided were really really soft; it was nice to wrap yourself in this after taking a swim. The pool is very cold! They also have a shower/bathroom off the lobby, useful if you arrive before check-in. Breakfast was a decent layout: cereal, some baked goods/breads, small local Apple's/oranges, a few cheese/meat options, yogurt and Jams, butter and hazelnut chocolate. It was the usual fare. The tea was very over steeped. CONS: The Wi-Fi was very very spotty. I could barely get it in our room and only in a small area in the lobby. We had lunch here and it was pretty bad; the kofte was tasteless and dry, and my clay pot chicken was bland. They don't take credit card, only cash.

This hotel is run like a family business (probably is one) but certainly isn't luxurious. The…read morerooms are small and bathrooms even smaller. Everything needs to be updated and I mean everything. This includes the bedding drapes bathrooms and wifi is incredibly slow. The breakfast was disappointing with most items not at all appetizing. This includes both the hard boiled eggs and even the fruit. The best item was the coffee cake. That was really all I could eat. All this being said, the staff is friendly and you can tell they are trying their best!
