Eski Datça Otel

Beautiful place, lovely rooms and staff waited up for us even though we were very late.

Interior Design of the room is lovely, but was done by the previous owners. The size of the room is appropriate. The location of the hotel is good.

No balcony to dry wet towels after going to the beach. Bad smell in the hallway. It took 3 days of air conditioning and open windows to get rid of this smell from our room. The hotel does not provide any parking which means you have to battle with all the other cars which want to park as well. Especially starting from late afternoon it is really tricky to find a parking spot around. The staff was cold, uninviting and obviously not local. They obviously prefer to chill on their chairs rather than chatting up with the customer and give tips or show that they care. Not even a good morning or welcome back was coming from them. Also during check-in, no information or tips about Datca were given.  Before the check-out, the credit card was silently billed WITHOUT asking if we want to use a different card, payment method or asked if everything was alright. The invoice was hesitantly sent to my private mail upon request, but Mr. Ümit (staff) was unable to send the receipt until I had to send it to myself using his computer. Really bad breakfast: It was bland and not tasty with cheapest ingredients sourced from supermarkets while locals were selling really fresh and tasty produce to a good price. Competitors had a much better breakfast which we gladly enjoyed over the hotel breakfast. The worst part of it was, that we were served MOLDY CHEESE and ROTTEN GREENS. No reasonable person would have served this. Also, nobody apologized to us; neither that day, nor when checking out. On top of that we were rudely told NOT TO FEED THE STRAY CATS and Mr. Ümit threatened to harm the animals and get rid of them. Overall, we would NOT RECCOMEND this place to anyone and the overall rating of this place was clearly attributed to the PREVIOUS OWNERS who seemed to have done a better job or fake ratings. There are way better alternatives around old town.
