We recently stayed at the Kismet for three nights. Our experience was similar to other reviewers. I wonder what is happening with this hotel? While it clearly has a storied past and the most amazing and immediate view of the sea, this hotel has fallen into serious disrepair. The "garden" along the driveway was overgrown with weeds, the pool was... More

A big draw of this hotel is its origination from a granddaughter of the last sultan. I had a great conversation with the bartender of the last 30 years, Osman, who filled me in on its history. The location is spectacular overlooking the water and town. The young woman clerk at the desk, who grew up in Baltimore, was divinely... More

We stayed here as part of a church "steps of Paul" tour and were rested and refreshed. The pool was one of the best infinity pools I've ever been in! Plus, you can always hop into the Aegan Sea if you fancy. Breakfast buffet was ample and as varied as any international buffet plus a few our the tour group... More

I really enjoyed my stay here while on tour but only got to stay one night here but made the most of it!!! The Aegean sea is beautiful and easy to get to from the hotel and there are swimming pools outside too and beautiful view!! I was very pleased with my room and it had a tub with jets... More

I have known Kismet Hotel since my childhood. It always been an admirer of its location and style.It is managed by a classy family and therefore the hotel contain lots of class. The view is great, swimming is great, service is great ant the food is great. Rooms might need some renovation.

We stayed at Kismet for two nights on our trip around Turkey. Magnificent location, well maintained gardens, attentive staff. However, rooms are somewhat run down. Decor may be a bit dated, but even that will be OK, providing everything else was in good warking order. We had leaky shower, that couldn't be fixed easily, so we just put up with... More

I visited this hotel as part of an escorted tour. There was no place for the bus to park near the entrance, so we had to walk up four flights of outdoor steps to get to the lobby. Several people in my group had difficulty with stairs, but only one person was given a ride to the lobby in a... More

if you stay at this hotel, make sure you reduce expectations, at this price point. This place is well past its prime. The young woman at the front desk should learn some basic English (my opinion) since this might come in handy one day.The pool is very nice but a relatively far walk from the hotel and the lobby. The... More

We had a suite, which was not at all clean, although it did have a great view. A full-size towel from a prior guest was left between a sofa and the wall, truly disgusting (probably still there, as this was only a week ago). We had dinner there and it was the worst food we had in 9 days in... More
