İspendam Tess Otel

Modern hotel amidst nature Small modern hotel at the top of a mountain amidst nature with nice well equipped rooms and bathrooms. Good traditional turkish breakfast with a reasonable variety of hot and cold items. Friendly hospitable staff. The kids enjoyed the outdoors despite the limitation in terms of lack of a playground..but we liked the outdoor fire place and stunning mountain views..the elevator takes you to first floor only..but hotel employees will gladly assist you in taking your luggage to the second floor. Pillows were not soft..Sofa bed was really small and could accomodate one person only. No hangers in the bathroom. We had one lunch for 5 persons which contained kofta and grilled chichen with rice fries and green salad and cost us 1750 lira. The last 4 kilometers of the road was not paved (dirt road).

If you are considering this hotel, I am going to give a very detailed explanation about our experience, and I will be very honest and fair about my review. First of all, this hotel belongs to a family who run it together. The owner and his wife are vert nice people, however, their kids were not (and they were the ones running the place) and there is a language barrier and only the daughter speaks a little English. We tried to use Google translate as much as possible to communicate, but the internet connection is really bad up there, so it comes and goes. The hotel is located at the way top of a mountain. If you are used to driving in that risky terrain, then you should be fine...but if you are like us, and it is your first time, it is really very scary. You are very close to the edge and one0 wrong9.5 move and your car can take a dive! It was raining and foggy when we were there, so that made it a lot worse...so it will take you an hour to go up the mountain if you can't see. The view is breath-taking. You are literally in the clouds, and if you are lucky to have at least one clear day (when it's raining and cloudy you can't see the view at all)..then you can see just how high you are and how beautiful it is. So it is very peaceful and serene, but there is really nothing to do when you are up there. They have some nice seating areas, swings, hammocks..but again, if it's raining, the rain will ruin those as well.

Doğa Güzelliklere ulasmak bazen meşakkatlidir.dogal yerlerin yolu cok konforlu olsa,insanlar talan eder,çevreye zarar verirler.doğayi ve tabiatı sevenler icin otelin yolu keyif vericidir.yani yola takilmayin.isletme aile isletmesi olup,ender bey ve tum calisanlar son derece ilgili ve samimiler.kışın kar yağdığında ki manzarayı hayal ediyorum.
