Orchis Hotel

I had to find a calm, safe, clean and central place for 2 nights. This hotel was the first and only one in Ayvalik replying my emails immediately and responding my questions before booking. The hotel has met all my expectations. Everything was clean. From the first moment the staff was very kind. Not to forget that the Turkish breakfast was generous. We'll go back there again.

We visited the hotel in the middle of the week, in the middle of Ramazan and in the middle of March, and we seemed to be the only guests. The hotel has a perfect location in one of the old parts of Ayvalik, with plenty of shops and restaurants around. No traffic to mention and quiet. Close to the coastal main street and old harbour with good public communication and access to taxi. The old soap factory is beautifully restored to a modern standard and still keeping the genuine atmosphere very well. We had a double room on the top floor with a small roof terrace with beatiful views over the town, the hills and the sea. The room and the bathroom had a good size, it was clean and comfortable. Even in the sudden cold weather the heating worked well. The staff was friendly and we want to thank the director, Mr. Engin very much for his interesting stories about the place and renovation.

Best breakfast ever. The choice is incredible and absolutely delicious. Lovely old hotel run by father and daughter.Area looks sketchy initially but is totally safe.

The hotel is well located, within east walking distance to restaurants, cafes, shops and supermarket. The staff were exceptional! Very friendly and so helpful at all times, particularly by accompanying us to the closest car park, navigating the exceptionally narrow streets and then taking all our luggage to the hotel. Upon our departure, they again took our luggage to the car, moved the car to facilitate an easier exit

We loved the charm of this very old building (a soap factory) and the antique fittings and furniture. Dinner was fabulous but we had a Turkish guide who could order for us. Definitely try the sizzling octopus.
