Ilayda Avantgarde Hotel

The hotel breakfast is superb tasty! The staff are helpful, friendly, fun, filled with so much joy! The hotel is also facing the sea and has a spectacular view! It’s a great place to watch sunrise and sunset and enjoying the wind and waves. Many great restaurants (like Mado) nearby! You have to book this!

Stayed for 3 nights and found it on Expedia last minute. Celebrated 25th wedding anniversary. Great customer service and free parking along with one of the best free breakfast. If you account for free amenities and compare it with Europe the place was a bargain. On weekends breakfast is available until 1130 am allowing you to have late breakfast. Pros: outstanding location, close to all the fun and life with most beautiful ocean views. Walkable to all interesting places and drivable to others. Room Pros: we booked deluxe room with ocean view so it was pricey compared to other rooms but they do have a slightly cheaper ocean view room. Our 4th floor room had floor to ceiling windows on two sides and you can open one of the windows to make it a balcony and get some fresh air. I could just sit and watch the sea or lie in bed and look out the beautiful view. Bathroom was of very good size and shower was giant. Comes with free minibar refrigerator (two cokes, a cookie and two bottles of water along with bathroom amenities and slippers. You can hear music and life from your room with the balcony door open. Room con: shower only have rain shower so for ladies you must cover your hair well if only need to bath. The bathroom had an unpleasant drain odor so we kept it closed. Cons: hard to find using google map and we asked hotel via Expedia app to send directions but no response. I wish we had that and we would have save an hour trying to make a u turn to find the parking lot which is hidden in plain sight. Hot room so we turned off heat and kept the window open for a little bit as it is very noisy at all hours so you can’t sleep with windows open.

Located on the main road overlooking the seafront but not very noisy, a fellow traveller in a corner room got a lot of noise. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast and dinner were petty average which is good for Turkey, at least compared to our other hotels.

This is an excellent hotel with likely the best views of the ocean and harbor in the city. We are driving up the coast so the valet underground parking was super important. Give them your car on arrival and get it back on departure. Certainly no need while you are here because the hotel is in the center of everything. We had room 603, ocean view corner, and it was superb except that chairs started squeaking early at the breakfast restaurant immediately above. 503 would probably be the best in the hotel. Fantastic views and comfortable chairs in the room to sit and sip a glass while enjoying the view and the evening breeze. Large walk in shower in a modern bathroom. This moment enjoying the view from a chaise by the rooftop pool while ordering margaritas. We stayed 3 nights. What's not to like?

Excellent hotel location, nice sea view, go for a sea view unit, staff very cooperative. Market is nearby or it’s at the location where you can get market, restaurants, taxis just few meters away. Take local tour from vendors outside the hotel, value of money. Highly Recommended.
