SELÇUK BEY KONAĞI
SELÇUK BEY KONAĞI"We truly enjoyed our stay in Küçükköy. From the moment we arrived, we felt very welcome. The accommodation has its own parking area, which was very convenient. The staff were incredibly kind, friendly, and always happy to help. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the beautiful garden created a cozy and relaxing atmosphere. The accommodation was clean, practical, and had everything we needed. A big advantage was having a washing machine available, especially during our trip. Thank you...

AYVALIK TRİNGO BUNGALOV
AYVALIK TRİNGO BUNGALOV"The staff is friendly and polite, but the rooms are not cleaned every day. Bottled water for coffee, toilet paper and towels are brought to the bathroom upon request.Otherwise they don’t bring any of those, they don’t clean everyday. I wake up early and breakfast doesn’t ready until almost 10am. Am an early bird so I need my coffee. Otherwise, it’s a nice family environment. I might consider coming back but they need to make sure they need to be on top of things without request. "




Uliv Apart Otel & SPA
Uliv Apart Otel & SPA"If you're looking for a peaceful, quiet, spacious, and well-ventilated environment, I highly recommend it. I'd like to thank everyone, from the receptionist to the entire staff. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The spa, body massage, and skin care packages were especially good. In short, it was a well-ventilated environment. The Wi-Fi was a bit slow, but we already had our own internet connection. It would be even better if it had its own private sandy beach."

Ayvalık Sea Long
"I loved it"
Cunda Garden
"Amazing experience. Great location and breakfast was absolutely fantastic and delicious. There is no wake up time or any specific time for breakfast. Whenever you wake up, breakfast will be ready in the balcony or in the garden by the pool within 5 minutes. Owner and all staff were very friendly and very welcoming. Felt like long family relatives haven't seen for years. Absolutely clean modern rooms. Everything was spotless. Definitely recommend here."
Khaja Beach Hotel
"The managers and staff are extremely helpful; yet they are limited in numbers. Rooms are spread around following the natural flow of the hill where the hotel is located. We believe that once the reconstruction of the hotel is completed and the humanpower is adjusted to the season, it will be a great spot."
Elos Ayvalık Pansiyon
"Pınar Hn. Çok yardımsever ve nazikti. Otel çok merkezi bir konumda."
Cunda House Kucuk Otel
"Joli petit hôtel très bien tenu. La dame responsable est adorable. La chambre d'une propreté impeccable ( je suis pointilleuse sur ce point). Belle piscine. Endroit calme. Nous avions notre voiture alors les déplacements étaient faciles sur les différents points d'intérêt. Stationnement sur place et sécure. Le déjeuner étaient incroyable. En 22 jours en Turquie, ce fut celui le plus copieux et varié."
Cunda Alesta Otel
"Beautiful place and hotel"
Min Ayvalık (Adults Only +12)
"Friendly staff, great location, comfortable bed and good water pressure for shower"
Cunda Paradise Otel
"Clean room and nice hotel but really BEST breakfast I’ve ever had. Fresh fried donut, a variety of meats and cheeses, fruits and hard boiled eggs finished in a cask iron skillet. Outstanding! "
Cunda Piano Otel
"Gentleman at check in very professional and polite, staff all round very helpful and considerate. Breakfast - waiter service, good selection and filling. Decent sized outdoor pool, great location and parking available. Room could've been just slightly bigger but it is in proportion of the building as a whole.Hotel environs very clean so all in all good stay albeit for just one night."
