Stayed here as a one night stopover in our way to Caprradicia. I’m so disappointed it wasn’t for longer. On arrival there was a community lunch in the garden square and I immediately thought this was going to be a great place. The family are so warm and engaging and you feel like you are with family. The room is bright and airy and I could have stayed there longer basking in the warmth of the sun and atmosphere. Beds were comfy and the air con cool and quiet. Breakfast was fulfilling bread, olives, fruit cheese eggs and coffee. To call this a hotel is an understatement of the charm and warm it exudes- more like a B and B but with privacy. As we left he owner greeted us with a warm handshake and farewell. I was left lamenting Only that we had not stayed longer. We had a smile on our faces and a spring in our step. Family fun and so warm and engaging - must stay!! Short stroll to lake for swimming!! Perfect all around …
friendly owner . good breakfast. if you are looking for calm place... you can find it the best one in eğiddir island you can swim and fishing as well do not loose kovada lake and national park it is just 30 minut away
Pros: The location of the property is wonderful and the surroundings beautiful. The price we paid was really good considering what other properties in the area charge, but more expensive than we paid for any other accommodation in Turkey. The owner was very friendly. Cons: The bathroom was very small for a family unit, i can live with that, but the shower was not enclosed so after one person showered the whole bathroom was wet making private dressing afterwards hard. There was a very bright light outside the bedroom window which was troublesome. Very basic features with no glasses, coffee and tea or kettle. Just the addition of these items will already be a great improvement.
If you are passing by, that's the best place to stay. The place is absolutely amazing; the lake, the restaurants, the buildings. The pension is quite perfect for one night. Not very big rooms but clean. The best "thing" about this pension is the owner of the pension and his wife who are genuine kind and friendly. They are absolutely amazing even if they don't speak English. If you want to taste and live the spirit of Turkey, that's one of the place to go
This pension was not as close to the lake as we thought and is a bit tired, but the owner went out of his way to ensure we were happy and quite frankly he made our short stay very happy, a short walk down the road there are some lovely restaurants and views.
As other reviewers have pointed out, the Pension is managed by the son of the family who is in New Zealand. The parents who run it are lovely, but speak no English. This has lead to many issues. We were traveling as a family of 4 and I booked 2 rooms via booking.com 1) one of the room we booked via booking.com was given away to other people. 2) this meant that we had the "economy" double room. As other reviewers have pointed out, it is the smallest hotel room for 2 people you could possibly have. There is, literally, no room to put down your bag. 3) we settled the bill on our last day. However, we then received an email from the son, to say we had been undercharged for the 2 rooms, and hence he had charged our credit card via booking.com. However, he charged us for the room that had been given away. 4) when we settled the bill at the hotel, we were told we had to pay cash as the credit card was "not working". I therefore had to run down to the cashpoint (a mile away) to withdraw the money. The additional, inaccurate charge on the credit card was however made the very next day. I clearly had to pay a hefty withdawal fee on the money i got out of the caspoint. 5) when I explained our issues to the son via email, I was told it was my fault that I had not paid the correct amount initially (happy to send the email to anyone who wants to see it). 6) there is no pick up service from the bus station as advertised 7) there is no roof terrace as advertised 8) the room we had was very noisy until late (after 1am) due to the social club that is next door playing Rummikub late into the night There are many other Pensions in Egirdir, and I wished I had booked one of these instead.…
We spent two nights at this family run B&B on Yeshilada island. Paid 90TL for a double but since the place was empty when we reached, we got the large family room with a balcony on the first floor (no lakeview unfortunately!) The room was large and spotless clean, as was the bathroom (it did smell a little damp though). On the downside - the mattresses are not great and there is no AC (although we didn't need one). The place is run by a friendly and warm elderly couple who speak no English. We had been in touch over email and Hussein offered to pick us up from the bus station. (The pension is about 1.5 km from the bus station and there minibuses are quite rare - so asking for a pick up is the only alternative to a taxi if you have some luggage). The couple are definitely helpful but communication is not easy unless you speak some Turkish - not the place to stay if you need much local information etc. We had dinner at the pension (43TL for two full grilled local fish, soups, veg and salad - much better flavour, taste and value than 'Big Fish' where we ate the night before). I chose this place over others given it was a family run B&B, but given that the main draw is the lake, the next time I'd pick a place with a lakeview.…
Great place to stay. Spent 3 days here and it was a really nice and relaxing place to break up the rest of along trip. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Clean and tidy in all areas. Overall would highly recommend this place to anyone traveling through Turkey.
Eğirdir is a town on the lake (with the same name) situated in Isparta Province in the Mediterranean region of Turkey. The establishment is located on a small island, Yeşıl Ada ("green island"), connected to the town by a short causeway. It is a charming little place offering a few rooms on the 2nd floor, some with open balconies. Our room was quite spacious with en-suite bathroom (and hot water!), cupboards, small TV with satellite, fire place and open balcony with a limited view of the lake. As we were there during March 2014, still cold at night, our host kindly collected wood for the fireplace to warm up the room. Breakfast was included and was a typical Turkish breakfast: bread, olives, a slice of cheese, cucumber, tomato, jam and tea/coffee, nothing to write home about. However, we had a very pleasant stay at this address and our hosts were extremely friendly and hospitable. Although the island is quite this time of year, one can imagine that it livens up during the summer months. Numerous restaurants, hotels, pansyons and a few private residences fill the island. Known for its past as a Greek village, the "island" still has quite a few stone homes remaining from the Greek era.…
Wow what a great place to stay. The room was so clean and the family that ran it were so friendly. Loved the whole pension experience. The owners were really helpful with letting us know about the sites/places to go and visit and how to get there. The lake was lovely to swim in. And the food was fantastic. Really good Turkish breakfast. Would definitely recommend this place to stay. And would come back and stay here if i am ever lucky enough to go back to Turkey.
