Basel Hotel

We were told that the desk is manned 24hrs a day, so we would have no issues checking in. (1am)We were greeted by Mr Sarhat, he was welcoming and polite. He later helped me order food in from a take out (2am)In the morning, we were greeted by a new member of staff, Mr Sabir. He was equally a pleasant, polite and helpful person.One one of the days we had a tour booked - they always seem to collect before breakfast. Sabir went to the kitchen and got us some fresh bread (Pisi) which he didn't need to do - this was extremely kind of him. We met Mr Murad, the manager later in the afternoon. He was extremely helpful in getting tours booked. He was also great to have a chat and laugh with! If you visit and decide to book any tours, Murad will gladly help. I would say, take towels, swimwear, and a change of clothes if you go on a boat tour!The breakfasts were traditional Turkish, so if you only eat western continental, do request additional items as you will struggle. Black tea was on tap, coffee too. The rooms were cleaned as long as you put the "clean my room" tag up on the door handle which is as expected. They were always cleaned to a very good standard. They top your fridge/cooler with water on every clean.The pool was a delight to use, especially to cool off from the searing heat of the afternoon!Request towels, as they are not kept poolside. I would visit again in a heartbeat. I loved our stay here.
