Hisarköy Holidays from NZ$1,911

The Best Western Plus Larco Hotel is overrated. It's outside the city center (30 to 40 minutes on foot), the rooms are tiny and certainly not what you would expect of a hotel that is rated 4 stars, the breakfast is ordinary and repetitive. They also have a nickel and dime attitude that is deplorable. As an example, they give you one litre of water the first day that you arrive, but want you to pay for it starting on the second day. Considering the cost of the tiny hotel room, that's nothing short of deplorable. You're much better off at a property in the middle of town that charges quite a bit less and gives you a lot more.

Clean room. Staff were very nice and good. Not a beach view, and area being refurbished so difficult to get to the normal shops, however, will look good when finished. I enjoyed my stay in Josephine Hotel.

The hotel is well situated minutes from the beach and conveniently located for shops. The receptionists are ere exceptional, very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. The room was clean and comfortable with a massive TV, tea and coffee and ensuite. The toiletries were wonderful. Breakfast was 7:30 to 10 and included in my deal. To say it was sumptuous would not do it justice. I hope to return later this year.
