Amphora Hotel | Hotel in Sarimsakli, Balikesir

“A tale of 2 parts. The pool area is compact but comfortable, pool cleanliness is excellent. The bar area and foyer are clean and welcoming, the bar prices are very reasonable. The food was the most surprising part. Busy on Friday, less so on Saturday - the salad buffet was extensive, the hot good (chicken/beef, pasta, potatoes) really tasty. On Sunday it appeared there were only 3 rooms occupied and we ate a fixed 3 course dinner in the e bar area. It was once again very appetising. However the bedroom was less good. There was a working fridge - good and a small wardrobe with hangers. But only one drawer - that did not stay shut. The bedside cabinets have good surface area but are solid so no storage. There is room for a chest of drawers, so it’s strange that it’s not used. In the bathroom the shower pressure was variable from ok to poor, and the attachment for the small shower head was broken/unusable. The sink is a stand alone so little space for stuff; it looks like a shelf was there originally but it’s been broken/removed. There’s a lovely little balcony with a small drying line. The single lift is small. The beach access is great with plenty of parasols and loungers. The parking is right across the road and we got a hotel ticket to show the attendant. Our motorcycles felt safe there. It’s a shame to write the limitations as the hotel really does have potential and we enjoyed our stay (since we didn’t spend that much time in the rooms.).”

“The hotel is in a great location across the road from the beach. There is parking available and free use of beach loungers with hotel id. The rooms are reasonably sized but the beds are firm. The room lacked a few basic facilities like tea and coffee making but it was comfortable. Breakfast was OK but not great. Likewise the buffet dinner if you do half-board. Also beware that the location of the hotel on Expedia is not correct. It is not in Ayvalik but 10km away at Sarimsakli Beach. ”

“Breakfast and dinner were very nice, the staff was very kind and helpful, I was very satisfied. My next choice will be this hotel again. I recommend it to everyone.”

“Fabulous room with small balcony looking out to beach. Lovely staff who were friendly and helpful. Right across the road from the beach andcwe swam daily. Note: this hotel is not near the city centre so dining and shopping options are limited. However we caught the local bus in and out and were happy to stay spmewhere quiet and so close to the beach.”

“A comfortable, well appointed hotel - with friendly professional staff. My accommodation included 'half board' so breakfast and dinner was included. The food was great, very tasty, nicely presented and the portions generous (in fact maybe overly so). All in all, a great stay!”
