  : Easy access and good location, beach front indeed. The room was clean and there is a balcony. There are many restaurants in walking distance, but the noise stop abt 22:00, so we caught some time to sleep.
  : English = zero. Very small size of the room, old furniture, rusty hangers on the balcony. The bathroom was clean but some spots are looking like - it is still under construction. Small pool, that closes 18:30. Dinner - something like a buffet, but not really. We went out to finish the dinner in the nearby restaurants and skip the next day breakfast :) NO CARD PAYMENT - CASH RULES.

  : The staff was kind and helpful. There was a wide variety of food at the breakfast and dinner. The location is great, just across the beach.
  : The hotel is dated, rooms need renovation. Balcony is small and not pleasant to sit at. Wi-Fi is not always functioning. The whole city has some weird and unpleasant smell in the evenings.

  : The location of the Amphora hotel sells itself. You wake up, walk to the restaurant which serves great breakfast and cross the street to go to your designated hotel beach which was really convenient and nicely spaced out to have the sense of some privacy. You don't have to pay for your beds and umbrella because you're staying at the Amphora Hotel. Not to forget that there is a shack meters away on the beach where you can get drinks, food and snacks. Besides that there are plenty of vendors passing by offering food. Coming back to the hotel, the friendly staff makes sure you have everything you need. Location: in the heart of Sarimsakli boulevard you can spend your evenings walking around or shopping, enjoying a cup of tea with some ice cream or going to the fair. If one night you would prefer to stay in, you can relax with a cup of tea on the side of the pool downstairs or on your spacious balcony. The beach is literally across the street and the Aegean Sea is absolutely amazing albeit a bit cold for some. The beach is mostly soft sand which is really nice. Restaurant: the hotel offers breakfast and dinner included with your stay. Every day they changed a certain number of dishes for the breakfast and dinner. There were four warm options with every meal along with fresh vegetables, salads, soup, variety of jams and a great dessert selection which ticked all of our boxes because we enjoy the homecooked Turkish cuisine. The way food is served gave us Lokanta vibes. The food was delicious and served by the chef himself and a very friendly abla. Staff: the staff is great at Amphora hotel and they really helped save our trip by changing our room without any issue as we were having trouble with the bed initially. Huge applause to Irem Hanim. The restaurant and bar servers are really friendly and on top of things. We always felt welcome.
  : Room: the experience that Amphora Hotel gives is really great, however the rooms are quite dated and need an upgrade. I would also say the cleanliness of the rooms can be improved as the towels and sheets had spots (even though they did smell clean) and carpet in hotel rooms never give a clean feeling. The TV in the room is so small that you almost need binoculars from the bed. As mentioned in previous reviews, our first room also did not have a mini fridge which made it challenging to have cold drinks. Some rooms do have a fridge as our second room did have one and it was super nice. The A/C works, but it's old and definitely needs some time before being able to keep the room at a nice temperature. Beds: deserves its own category. The beds were extremely uncomfortable as the mattress was rock hard due to being new as we were told. Wifi: basically non-existent in the room. We stayed initially on the 2nd floor and were changed to the 1st floor, but still had no wifi signal whatsoever. This can be a big problem if you don't have a Turkish simcard as using mobile data can be costly. The wifi did work around the pool and the bar area. Overall: with some attention to the rooms and wifi, Amphora Hotel could easily become the best hotel in the area. Despite all above, we would still consider coming back.
