Uygulama Hotels can be found in most large cities in Turkey. They are government run and staffed by students and trainees and many of the hotel clients are government officials or teachers. They offer consistent prices and value for money.
Although each establishment will differ in terms of the standard and quality of service and accommodation they are certainly worth considering as an alternative to mainstream hotels. The Cunda Uygulama Hotel is situated just as you come off the bridge from Ayvalik to Cunda Island. You can’t miss it on your right hand side, positioned overlooking the bay in an excellent commanding position with spectacular views.
With ample parking and easy access this is definitely one of the flagships of the Uygulama Hotels. The lobby is spacious and impressive. The grounds of the hotel are well laid out and maintained. There is a café bar and a restaurant that offers lunchtime and evening meals if they have tour bookings at the time of you stay.
If not you might need to eat out. Breakfast is included. We paid 140 Turkish Lira ( £27.36 ) for something that would have cost you 3 times this price in Europe. Breakfast for two is included in that price. The double room that we booked was tastefully decorated with wallpaper and was clean and well presented generally. The bathroom was in good order and everything worked pretty much as it should ( the TV command could have done with some batteries and one light bulb was not working ).
The beds were comfortable and the room is equipped with a TV. We were lucky enough to find the restaurant open and had a three course buffet style meal in a very nice restaurant with excellent food for the total price for two people of 50 Turkish Liras ( £9.97 ). We felt that everything offered here was very reasonable.
The staff were friendly and efficient. The breakfast in the morning was excellent. If every Uygulama Hotel followed this standard of excellence then one of Turkey’s best kept secrets would be out. I strongly recommend this hotel for anyone visiting Ayvalik or Cunda Island. It really is a good place to stay.
Very good accommodation near the centre with lots of available on street parking.

This is one of the best places to stay in Tavakli Iskelesi. Situated right on the beach this complex of holiday chalets or bungalows offers extremely good accommodation for a reasonable price. Holiday makers can choose from accommodation only or accommodation with full board.
There is ample off road parking. The gardens and patio lounge area are tastefully designed and well kept. The restaurant and bar area is one of the best chill out zones in this area. Overlooking the beach you need to see the beautiful sunsets to appreciate it at its best. We have dined here on more than one occasion and we are always pleased with the quality and cost of the cuisine. The chef is very good and knows how to please his guests. The staff are friendly and welcoming.
The manager Halil Bey really makes his customers feel special and also speaks extremely good English too. All the more reason to give this establishment consideration if you are an overseas visitor.
You know that you have arrived at the right place when the doorman greets you and immediately helps you with your luggage and even has time to sort out some change for you for the taxi driver.
The Reception staff are very friendly and super efficient and the standards and quality of this hotel are above what you would expect for the price. It is popular because of its close proximity to Ataturk International Airport.
The hotel has a courtesy airport shuttle service although this does not operate in the early hours. A taxi ordered from the hotel early morning is only going to cost you around 20 Liras which will be much cheaper than the ride you paid for from the Airport to the hotel by taxi! Be warned, they will try to hike up the price if you do not speak Turkish!
Because our flight was early morning we missed breakfast although this was priced at 41 Turkish Liras per person, a whopping sum by Turkish market prices but reasonable by European standards and you are staying in a very nice modern and clean hotel so I would have definitely have given it a try.
The rooms are exceptionally good with particular emphasis on creature comforts including a mini bar. The beds are absolutely superb and so comfortable and an early morning call by the hotel staff ensure that you get on your way in the early hours.
We went for a stroll along one of the roads at the back of the hotel. There are plenty of small shops and places to eat if you are spending your last night in Turkey and want to pick up some Turkish Delight.
Back at the hotel the Wi-Fi worked perfectly and we got a pleasant nights sleep in a hotel that I would have no hesitation in recommending and would definitely use again. Thank You Elite World Business. If only all hotels could be like this. Tebrikler.
The hotel is listed as being in Silivri when in reality it is miles away on the E100 high road in a fairly remote location so you will need to be travelling by car if you want to book this hotel or at least have pre arranged travel arrangements booked.
The hotel dominates the skyline and is a fairly new business and convention centre with a wide range of facilities. On driving into the hotel the hotel we noticed there was an immediate problem with subsidence in the car park. A large part of the car park was sunken in and potholed. However it looked as if work was in progress to rectify this situation.
Check in was simple and effective and the hotel is clearly built to a good standard even if it does look a little clinical and cold. All the corridors are empty of any furniture , sculptures etc which might have created a better atmosphere.
The room was of a decent size with its own balcony but not particularly clean and had obviously been prepared in a hurry. The air conditioning worked well and all the usual creature comforts were present in the room. On the down side the room did smell of tobacco smoke. Whilst I do not remember being offered smoking or no smoking at booking time I would advise anyone wanting to book a reservation to confirm that they have a non smoking room if this is important to you as unless specified it is not guaranteed.
The bathroom was well laid out and everything was as it should be. The complimentary slippers were a nice touch. Breakfast in the morning was in the breakfast room by the pool. It consisted of a large selection of continental, cooked breakfast and traditional Turkish with fruit juices and tea and coffee. A fairly good breakfast in actual fact spoiled only by the fact that the orange juice is actually an orange squash rather than a true orange juice which defies belief really since Turkey is swimming in fresh oranges.
Not a bad place to stop if you have a car and want to take a look at Silivri one of the towns on the outskirts of Istanbul. It is also within 45 minutes of Ataturk Istanbul Airport with a straight forward drive along the motorway.
You pretty much know what to expect when you book a room at a Sheraton hotel. This was no exception but for the fact that it was housed in a pretty deserted shopping mall. The nearby restaurants and coffee outlets did not seem very popular for some reason.
When you arrive you should park in the underground mall car park. Upon check out you will need to present your parking ticket which will then be credited with the parking costs to ensure that you get free parking. Check in was fast and efficient.
The staff were helpful and friendly and the rooms were comfortable and well maintained. They were clean with tea and coffee service, fridge and a decent TV. The bathroom was clean and to a reasonably good standard but the finish I thought was a little sub standard and tired for a Sheraton Hotel.
The breakfast was exceptionally good with a very good choice of hot and cold food available. This is a good place to stay and although you will need to drive or take a taxi to the centre it is not that far away. Would stay here again. A good choice for your stop over in Izmir.
I used this hotel as an en-route stop over prior to catching a flight the next day from Istanbul. Because the morning flight was not too early this hotel was just the right distance from the airport for a leisurely drive in rather than have to cope with the hustle and bustle of the busy city of Istanbul. It was a good choice.
Plenty of parking and straight on to the main highway this is a good location for travellers. It is unpretencious and a bit tired in its style but the staff and managment are welcoming and go out of their way to make you feel at home here.
This is not a luxury hotel. Please judge this on your experience and the fact that it costs just £25 a night by UK prices and is so close to Istanbul. You might struggle to find this standard near the big city at these prices. The rooms are large but not as modern as you might find in some of the newer hotels. The decor is dated by modern standards but this will not stop you from getting a good nights sleep. Everything is clean enough.
The evening meal was very good. I was not too hungry so settled for some aperatif and had more of a snack than a meal which was tasty and more than adequate for my needs. They had an entertainer in the restaurant who sang Turkish songs with a good voice and with a passion. He was very good. Prices in the restaurant are quite reasonable for a hotel too.
Breakfast was perfect and I left the hotel at around 9 am in the morning. I cannot really fault this place and I would certainly use it again. I have no idea what it is like in peak season when the pool is open and the hotel is full. I would imagine the atmosphere could be quiet nice. My stay was in December at one of the quietest times of the year.
A Turkish hotel brand expanding across Türkiye, covering both city hotels and resort locations, contributing to the domestic chain growth.
The hotel is situated by a lake near the sea. There is a bird nature reserve nearby and a beach resort called Agapark nearby that charges a modest fee to gain access for the day.
Reception staff are friendly and efficient. Check in was a breeze and we were soon in our room. As you would expect from a Hampton Hilton the standard is excellent and the rooms were meticulously clean and well presented.
The usual coffee / tea facilities, fridge and TV etc were all provided and the breakfast was of an exceptionally good standard. Probably one of the best hotels in this area and good value for money. Parking and Wi-Fi
This is a very beautiful location and a great place to stay. The hotel has a swimming pool although it is right on the beach so you can take a swim in the sea every day and make use of the water sports.
The hotel is modern, comfortable and well organised. With easy access to Foca nearby there is plenty to do and see. The staff here are very friendly and they make their guests feel very welcome.
The breakfasts by the poolside are excellent with a wide choice of buffet style Turkish breakfast with a variety of cheeses, breads, fruit, jams, meats etc. Cannot fault it really. Would have no problems recommending this especially for families.
We stopped here for one night late in May. Having booked over the internet we had no idea what to expect. However, first impressions on arrival certainly confirmed that we had made the right choice.
This hotel is modern and well laid out. There is a spacious lobbly area with a bar and the Reception staff are very friendly and accommodating. Check in was a breeze and we were soon in our room on the second floor.
We paid around 250 tl which also included breakfast for two. There is ample secure parking on site. Included is also free Wi Fi. Our room was extremely spacious and large by most hotel standards. With a spacious balcony, very comfortable King size bed, tea and coffee facilities and a good size Samsung TV it was excellent value for money.
The bathroom has two wash basins and is also very spacious and modern. Everything works as it should. The air conditioning works particularly well and it is easy to set the temperature to your personal comfort level.
The breakfast room on the 5th floor is light and airy and with panoramic views. There is a very good selection of cheeses, bread, hot and cold meats and eggs, jam and cereals; something for all tastes in fact. This hotel really is a good choice for your stay in Edirne. It is not far from the city centre either. I would have no problem in recommending this establishment and would definitely stay here again.
There is nothing to fault about this hotel. It offers everything you could hope for in terms of comfortable accommodation. Upon arrival there is underground secure car parking and check in is simple and efficient. The layout of the hotel is modern and clean, spacious and well laid out.
Like all Hilton hotels the additional extras such as the mini bar in the room or the breakfast is charged out at a rate that is extortionate by local standards so you are best eating out and leaving the tempting mini bar well alone.
The rooms are what you would expect of a Hilton. The decor is attractive and well thought out with a high degree of attention to detail. This is no different to the standards you would expect in Europe or the USA. Everything is where its should be and how you would expect it to be.
I would definately recommend this hotel. The staff are helpful and friendly and you can expect a pleasant experience here.
