The hotel appears to have recently been redecorated. Our room was on the small side, but was really nicely decorated, clean and fresh. It had tea/coffee facilities and a TV, not that we needed a TV as Side is lovely. The rest of the hotel is also clean and well-maintained. The pool and surrounding area was nice, and the shaded area close to the building was a nice spot to sit and read. The food was good quality, and there was plenty of it, providing breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as an afternoon snack around 4PM. The bar service was fast, the beer was cold and there was a variety of spirits on offer. I didn't try the cocktails, but my partner said they were good, and the measures were generous. I felt that the bar could have a little bit more choice, however, we still had everything we needed. The service was excellent from every member of staff we spoke to. The staff on the reception were very helpful and knowledgeable, and the bar/food service staff were really welcoming and friendly - particular thanks to Ömar on the bar, he was really friendly, really welcoming and honestly made an effort to help us have a good time (and it worked). Other quick notes: The hammam was excellent value and service according to my friends. The hotel owns a small beach bar, with a regular shuttle between the hotel and beach (though you could probably walk it in 15 mins). They have shisha in the night on some days (though that might cost extra). Overall, I'd stay at this hotel again - and I'd be particularly happy to stay if I knew that I'd see the same staff I met this time. It's a well-decorated, clean hotel and it's an excellent base for exploring the vast history of Side, which is roughly 15 mins away on foot. The highlights from our party of four - the hammam, the selection of cakes available, the cocktails and the bar service (especially Ömar - thanks for all the rakı mate!)
