Cassiopeia Otel Alaçatı — Hotel in Çeşme

Let me start off by saying that if you are looking for a well-priced, perfectly located, beautiful boutique hotel in Alaçatı, then definitely go for CASSİOPEİA! I’m going to share our experience of our one week stay at this charming hotel, considering the fact that we looked into dozens of hotels in our budget (below 100 USD/night) prior to our trip and we’re really happy that we chose this one. ||||First of all, this place’s location is perfect; all you need is within walking distance. Unless you want to go to Çeşme or some beaches like Ilıca, you won’t need a car. ||||While staying there, we were lucky enough to meet the owner himself, who was very friendly and caring. I remember the first night of our stay, it was heavily raining so we weren’t able to go out, and we were so hungry. Although the kitchen was working until 6 p.m., as soon as he found out that we were extremely hungry, he asked the kitchen staff (whom I guess were sleeping at that time) to cook us some food for dinner. ||||The breakfasts by the pool are very delicious and fulfilling. Let me also mention that there is this very talented young violinist named Eren Ekici who plays there twice a week by the swimming pool which makes the mornings experience even more pleasant and enjoyable.||||The rooms are clean, enough facilities are provided but one important thing you should know and was among our concerns before going there is that (still, at the time of this review), on booking.com it has been mistakenly mentioned that this place does not have any internet access, which is not true! A decent WiFi connection is available almost everywhere in the property. ||||Finally, about the staff, they were all amazing and helpful, but among all, Meryem the lady in charge of housekeeping and Ahmet the cook, were the stars. They always welcomed us with open arms. Every time Meryem tried to provide anything we asked for and Ahmet, since he was the only one capable of some communication in English, he provided much good information while being very warm and friendly.||||All in all, our feeling was that, everyone at this place are wholeheartedly willing to make sure you have an enjoyable stay and great experience while staying in Alaçatı. We are definitely looking forward to going back to Alaçatı and we are already sure that our choice of accommodation will be...

I am an avid traveler, and never in all my hotel, hostel, guest house, or Air Bnb stays have I stayed someplace more wonderful.||The hotel is as beautiful as it looks in the photos. The owner and his wife have thought of everything - so much so that it feels like home. There is soft music playing at reception all day long (lots of indie music - I updated my iTunes!), a pristine swimming pool, a place to hang your wet things, little artsy details all over the place, and a delightful little dog named Lokum.||The beds are very comfortable - after almost two weeks of traveling to Ukraine, Istanbul, and finally Alacati, I was very pleasantly surprised to find a comfortable supportive bed - perfect pillows too.||The rooms are organized by gemstone / color theme. I was initially put in the Rose Quartz room, but I really don't like pink so the owner put me in the red room (Yakut) which was kept cool by the garden. I didn't need to use my air conditioner in the height of June's heat, but it's there if you need it.||The lighting is soft, and everything is of excellent quality.||Breakfast couldn't have been more perfect and the wine - because there should always be wine - was priced reasonably.||My favorite thing to do was to sit on the bench swing at night reading my book.||The staff are wonderfully attentive. One heard me coughing and offered me tea with lemon and honey.||This hotel is close to the main walking streets (4 minutes walk), the post office, a mini bus station that takes you to the beaches and Cesme city center.||As a single female traveler, I felt not only safe at Cassiopeia, but like I had been on a honeymoon by myself.
