Villa Konak

This boutique hotel, created by restoring an old mansion, offers a journey back in time, where you'll find people who evoke memories of bygone eras and old friendships. Within walking distance of the city center, it's an oasis, a gateway to time, right in the heart of everything.

Villa Konak is a lovely welcoming hotel in easy walking distance to the bizarre and the port. Yet they are far enough away so its quiet. Lots of restaurants too. Villa Konak has a shared 5 o'clock tea, a nice swimming pool and verandah for relaxing. Breakfast was great too. Recommended

I booked this hotel about a year ago through a third party, where I specified the children and their age. Well today we show up, a very pleasant lady checked us in and gave us a list of rules and was very nice to my youngest daughter giving her fruits from their beautiful grove of tangerines. We were looking around the garden with our bags in the room and everything when this man (manager/owner, don’t exactly know) approaches me and says “you can’t stay here”, I asked why and he said because my 3 children were under 12. I was so surprised but I wasn’t angry until he says “and you didn’t have the children in the reservation because it wouldn’t have let you book the hotel with them”. Now what do you think he’s implying here? That’s when I got upset, I told him I did and he said no. So then when I confront him about saying I’m lying he starts arguing with me instead of considering that there was some kind of mistake, starts actually yelling at me because he wants to say I’m saying he’s lying when I’m actually saying he’s saying I’M lying. I checked my reservation and everything was correct on my end. Apparently the booking company didn’t pass on the kids’ ages which is not my fault. I was actually going to leave considering everything some kind of error and he had to go and accuse me. And the thing is, whether I was lying or not, which I wasn’t, he should never accuse someone and instead should give them the benefit of the doubt because you never want to take the chance of falsely accusing a guest. By the way, his reasoning was because of the pool or some excuse about the kids being unable to stay, when we’ve stayed all over Türkye in several hotels at this point which had normal pools. He handled that extremely poorly and I’m baffled as to why he works in hospitality. In other reviews I have seen there are complaints about a “grumpy guy” and I can only imagine who that is. He also refused to give me any proof that he would cancel on his end just so we’d have proof in the event we we’re wrongfully charged. We had to book a room on short notice, it ended up being further away from the area and at that point I didn’t even feel like doing anything else. The hotel seemed like an oasis in an otherwise very busy and narrow street so if you still want to go, park in a garage close by. I would avoid this hotel just because of that man who lacks any tact. I can’t say anything else for service or state of the room because I wasn’t there long enough to rate that.
