Alpstar Camping & Restaurant

Nice place, nice house, nice people, nice cuisine : everything nice! Even internet is almost always nice. The host speaks French and German, he iis very friendly and always ready to help. Some of the staff speak English.. There is also a kitchen, but few pots: if you want to cook yourself, better bring your own. We enjoyed Turkish dishes in the restaurant.

Clean,l and quite

Very cold in april nights

Cozy, comfortable and clean accommodation for climbers and hikers. Walking distance from climbing sectors, free parking, near the bus stop. Great restaurant with friendly staff and beautiful view. Cash and Card payment accepted.

The restaurant is excellent, we started everyday with breakfast - omelettes, eggs, gözleme, flatbread, americano. Lovely. There is a cat that will come and hang out with you, too. For lunch & dinner they make really good grilled traditional Turkish food. Excellent quality of meats (lamb, beef, chicken). It's simple dishes, but really good. You wake up to the rooster calling in the morning. There are chickens (& little cute chicks) roaming free around the premises & the garden (not inside the restaurant :-)), which is really nice. Communication with the servers can be a bit tricky if you don't speak Turkish, but once you get the order placed - they never bring you the wrong thing or forget anything. The cabin is simple but clean and comfortable enough. Nothing fancy. If you are coming for a climbing trip we recommend renting a car. It's possible to walk to the crags for sure, but it's further than you think.

The AC/Heater (the unit on the outside of the cabin) is pretty noisy, and in early March when we were there it can get really cold so you want to heat on. If you're a light sleeper it might be nice with a pair of earplugs, just in case. Could also just have been our cabin.

Loved it here so much! Can't wait to visit again. Mountains right outside a cosy cabin. Delicious food in the restaurant. What more could you ask for.

The people were super helpful - they always invited us to ask if we needed something, and we could ask for anything and they helped. It's clear they want their guests to have a great stay. For example, nobody had been using their communal kitchen that they advertise on their website and it wasn't functional - so when we asked, they cleaned it up and made it usable (even if basic) within a day. That's just one example of many. The owner, who speaks a little German and is good at French, also came to us a couple of times to make sure it had everything we needed. Furkan, the staff member who spoke English, was also great and very helpful. It was also very conveniently located between the main climbing crag and the village, so good for my climbing partner and non-climbing me 😊

Not major issues, but two smaller things: (1) In our bungalow, it seemed that the fresh water connection to the toilet had been leaking into the wooden wall for a while. Around it, water started to come through the tile grout, even. We reported it, and I'm sure they fixed it quickly after we left 😊 (2) Also, because we were there in winter, it was very chilly (0-10°C) outside, and the construction of the bungalow with a lot of space under the roof and its heating via air-conditioning meant that most of the heat rose to where no one was (under the roof) and the floor was always cold (bring house shoes 😉). However, the restaurant had a wonderful wood burner, so we mostly spent our time there when we were "at base" 😀

Nice small bungalows, nice placement, in the middle of nature, clean, good restaurant at the location, quiet also.

Lovely bungalow, very clean and comfortable with hot shower and en suite

Shower didn’t drain properly but we have let the hosts know. Uninspiring restaurant
