Cumbalıca Garden Hotel

Great location. The property seems new, and looks like they’re still working on it. Rooms have lots of space. No toilletries at all, just liquid soap in the bathroom. They did not clean the room in our 2 night stay. There is no AC. 2 blocks from the beautiful waters, where you can swim.

The staff was super friendly, the room seemed to be brand new with a perfect AC system and a nice Scandinavian design. It's clean too; the room was well-cleaned daily, and the towels were changed. The bed was very comfy, and we had a good sleep. The bathroom is nice, with a rain shower. The breakfasts were nice and tasty.

Although the hotel provides sunbeds on the shore and they are comfy, it's not the best part of the beach as the water gets filled with trash if the wind comes from the sea, and there's no sand there. Also, the hotel is currently undergoing reconstruction, so there are works going on, but it didn't cause us any inconvenience.

Very nice place, super-welcoming staff! Room was tidy and freshly-repaired. Though it would be better to have a carpet and a table inside. Also there were no bathroom stuff like q-tips or cotton buds. But it wasn't a problem for me! The hotel is located perfectly - near the supermarkets, bus station and beach. Frankly speaking, I didn't like Ilica beach and I highly recommend to take a taxi or a bus (which stops just near the hotel) and visit Boyalik beach. Breakfast was pretty simple, but delicious. And to my mind the best bread ever is served here!!! I wish I could have bought a loaf or two!

It would be better to have a carpet and a table inside the room, also a door in the wardrobe. And maybe some bathroom stuff like q-tips or cotton buds.

I had the most amazing stay at this charming, newly opened hotel! From the moment I arrived, I was impressed by the breathtaking private beach with its beautiful old-school umbrellas and sunbeds. The short walk to the beach pier was totally worth it as it provided a secluded and serene environment. The staff was incredibly helpful and polite throughout my stay, always ready to assist with anything I needed. The spacious and clean room provided a comfortable retreat after a day of fun in the sun. The breakfast served was delightful, offering a variety of delicious options to kickstart the day. And to top it off, the family-run restaurant nearby offered fantastic quality food at reasonable prices, making it a fantastic dining option. This hotel truly captures the essence of a perfect getaway with its private beach, attentive staff, and great amenities. I cannot wait to return for another memorable stay in the future!

A man called me to the reception to "seriously" talk to me. He was very rude towards me and was saying that I am a horrible mom, my child is terrible, too active, etc. So, I have a toddler and he was eating strawberry in the room and left a stain. And because of that the hotel staff was scolding me and insulting me even though the housekeeping is included in the price. After that incident, I wrote a negative review on Google. Near the night, the hotel manager, very aggressive man came to my room and knocked loudly. He blackmailed me that I should delete my review or else he will charge me $100. I asked for what, he said that because he wiped the table in the room, I should pay $100. I refused. Later, two men and a woman came to my room and was blackmailing me and raising a scandal. I immediately checked out even though I still had a night to spend there, because I felt unsafe and danger. When I checked out, the hotel manager shouted at me, made me delete the google review and made video of how I am deleting it on my phone. I was very scared and insulted. The hotel looks nothing like its pictures, it is in construction. There is constant smell, dust and noise. There is no desk to work, breakfast doesn't include coffee, a small cup of coffee is 60 tlr. The electricity goes off multiple times a day. I was afraid that the hotel manager would hit me if I don't delete my review.

The hotel was also overpriced considering its condition and lack of essential amenities. To make matters worse, breakfast didn't even include coffee, and if you wanted a cup, you had to pay an extra 60 TLR. There were instances where they ran out of milk for cappuccinos and butter for bread. Despite being a new hotel, construction work was still ongoing, resulting in constant noise and an unpleasant smell. However, the worst part of my stay was an encounter with a Turkish gentleman, possibly a manager or owner. He called me to the reception and spoke to me in a condescending manner as if I was staying at his home for free. He complained about my active child and a strawberry stain on the bed linen. It was absurd considering the amount I was paying ($100 a day) and the relatively low cost of replacing bed linen in Turkey. I couldn't help but compare his attitude to the fact that people probably leave all sorts of stains on beds in hotels, such as period blood or sperm stains. He scolded me, suggesting that I needed to be a better mother and take better care of my child. On top of all this, the electricity went off multiple times every day, there were no tables for eating or working, and I had to resort to using the wardrobe as a makeshift desk for my laptop. There is no elevator, so you cannot take a baby stroller to the second floor. The surrounding area of the hotel is in construction work, very uncomfortable to go in and out of the hotel. To make matters worse, the hotel's "private" beach was nothing more than a crowded area with sunbeds, falling short of my expectations. Overall, my experience at this hotel was disastrous due to the rude staff, lack of kid-friendly amenities, high prices, ongoing construction work, and various inconveniences.

We had an amazing stay in this place it was absolutely nice and location was amazing The staff is hospitable and cared about our stay Special thanks to the manager who was there ❤️ Highly recommended nice place to stay
