Location, breakfast, friendly staff, cleanliness

CHECK-IN: uncomplicatedSTAFF: friendly smiling and always present to support you. Really appreciated.SIZE: huge. We opted for the sea-view room and this had an extra living room with balcony and window on the other side.CLEAN: looked very clean indeed.BATHROOM: ok, large and functional as expectedQUIET: yes indeed, very much. The only noise was from the blowing wind.LOCATION: charming relaxing and it felt safe.SERVICES AROUND: in walking distance you find groceries and restaurant. In few minutes drive the old town harbor offers you restaurant and other servicesBREAKFAST: A-S-T-O-N-I-S-H-I-N-G!! This deserves already at least a 4-stars hotel classification. Tons of choice and lot of warm cooked food you can choose.

PARKING: it's just an open air area along the side street, but it felt safe for us and never busyWIFI: worked only in the lobby. But I bet they fixed for the upstairs rooms in the meantime

The hospitality was top notch. The employees always greeted us with a smile, and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable.The breakfast was excellent with a little something new every day. Their coffee was excellent.The rooms had everything we needed, from water, towels and extra blankets.The desks, doorway and locks were a worn, but everything was functional.The entryway/ breakfast area was inviting, clean and pretty.Location is right on the boardwalk with a lovely bay to enjoy. It is a nice 5 to 10 minute walk to the çarşı or castle walls.My family and I appreciated everything this lovely place had to offer, especially the people.

The rooms need a little attention/fixing and mosquitos make bad roommates.

Quiet get away. Easy winding down place. Still close enough to village center to walk.

The seaside balcony picture is only for a few rooms. Check the description before booking. Terrace balcony is not seaside.

The staff was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was simply amazing, a real Turkish breakfast!And the perfect location, in a quiet part just in front of the bay also was very nice.

10 out of 10. Highly recommended hotel thanks to its location, its staff, the clean rooms and the outstanding breakfast. We travelled with our toddler and he coulnd't be happier. The staff made us feel as we were family. It was even hard to say goodbye. We don't go to the same hotel twice, but the chance is very high that we'll be returning asap. The breakfast every morning was exquisite. The rooms were cleaned on a daily basis. You can swim basically everywhere in front of the hotel (nicest thing of Foca).The bed was really comfortable and the room spacious. Great ice coffee. Thanks guys!

Quite location, sea front, 5 minutes walk from noisy town center.Breakfast.

The room is very comfortable, clean and spacious. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Breakfast is traditional Turkish kahvaltı with a large selection of dishes, cheeses, and spreads along with fruits and veg, as well as Turkish tea.

WiFi was practically nonexistent on the upper floors and in our room.

Very friendly staff, nice room, great breakfast, location directly on the harbor side walking distance to the center, balcony spacious and comfortable, with views. Very positive experience.

We loved everything. Staff was helpful. Rooms were clean and location was perfect

While the room, the view and the breakfasts were incredible, it was the attentive staff who made our visit especially memorable.

We liked everything about the property.

Nice typical Turkish breakfast served in bowls. Nice location of a small quiet village. Nice staff. A few meters from the hotel is the sea, where boats are parked, but we went to swim elsewhere, where the beach was. The nearest beach is approx. 5 minutes' walk away - entrance fee, shower also (not included in entrance fee).

Sometimes in the evening, the smell of sewage wafted around the hotel, but I assume the hotel is not responsible for that.

Yunus, Verdad and the whole team were amazing. They were so accommodating kind and welcoming and made our stay so enjoyable. The rooms are comfortable with stunning views out on the water, sweet design and good air con. They took us out on a private boat tour for a very reasonable price, and gave us good advice on which beaches to visit as well as free entry to the Hanedan beach club 10 mins down the road very cheap taxis. The location was amazing with a short walk along the sea front to the town where there are lovely seafood restaurants and boutiques. Really good menemen, fresh bread and Turkish breakfast. We changed our booking to stay an extra night, and general manager Verdad was so helpful calling our next hotel and booking.com to help us change our booking - he really went above and beyond to make sure our booking was correct and we didn’t get over charged. They don’t speak perfect English here but this was never a problem we communicated fine with the help of instant translation. Everything about our stay was easy positive and comfortable thanks to our hosts. We will definitely come back. We visited as a couple but it would also be very comfortable for a family.

Why it was 9/10 not 10/10: As you can see there aren’t a huge amount of facilities at the hotel. You are paying for the location, views on the water and the amazing hosts. If I’m being really picky the cleaning could have been slightly higher standard eg in the bathroom to get that super clean shiny hotel feel. But it was not unclean at all.

Location superb, staff professional, friendly and helpful, breakfast very good. Would return and will recommend.

Nice hotel, I recommend. Just against the Marina of the town. Warm peaple and helpful staff. If they improve the English next, will be perfect.

The room - spacious, very clean, good internet connection

A great room, spacious, clean, view towards the sea. There is a small parking lot next to the hotel, although it was low season so parking on the street was fine as well. The downtown area is 20-30 min of walk, which is exactly why I chose this place, so I am quite happy with the location. Day shift receptionist spoke some English, evening shift did not, but Google translate always helps. Internet was strong and stable. It is a hotel I enjoyed and I would book again if I visit Foca.

There was no boiling kettle in the room to make your own tea/coffee. I had to leave very early (before breakfast), so it would have been nice to start the day with a warm drink. This should be a small investment, so I hope they bring some next time.

Very friendly staff, great location - walking distance from buzzling center and very quiet location. Nice rooms with balcony. Great breakfast. Parking space near the hotel.

Everything was good. Only minor point was that the eifi was not strong enough for a stable zoom meeting.

An amazing place to stay with a great sea view. It was really clean and breakfast was absolutely fantastic. The hotel staff and owner were very kind and helpful. Thank you so much!

The hotel offers a gorgeous view of the water and the service was exceptional. From experience my wife and I know that accommodation in Turkey can be hit or miss, this is the best place we have stayed at this price range while traveling in Turkey. The breakfast was delicious and large, with your choice of drink included. I was surprised that their coffee was quite tasty. The shower pressure and temperature were nice, the AC worked well, and the location is quiet yet in walking distance to the city center.

The bedsheets had a small hole possibly from a cigarette and there was no elevator so for elderly/disabled there’s no access.

The hotel has a nice view over the sea

The Breakfast was very poor and not much choise off food and variation. and that it wansnt possible to get my laundry done
