A few minutes from the ferry is this historic beautiful hotel with a lovely terrace, inner courtyard, great breakfast and wonderful lobby. The rooms are simple but ok and thankfully very high ceilings. Some people were unhappy with the very very small bathrooms some rooms have (the entire bathroom is almost the size of a shower cabin).but it doesn't bother... More

We spent a great four nights in this hotel with our kids. It looked like the management is slowly renovating the hotel as the front of the hotel, front common parts and one of our rooms was in good condition while our second room particularly the shower room was not in very good condition. Staying at the hotel is like... More

We have visited this hotel last summer with my girlfriend and we were totally disappointed. It was our first trip together and i`d like something special. This is why i booked this hotel. Before arrival i checked their website, and everything seems perfect. And when we arrived, we foud a hotel full of old people. I think this hotel is... More

Lovely old hotel with very good service. Decoration is a little bit old, but the feeling is right. More

Built in early 1900's, this hotel overlooks the harbor on Buyukada ( Big Island) of the Princes Islands. A grand old white wooden building with red shutters on the French doors of the front rooms. Furnishings are well-worn and it's like stepping back into the 1920's when the hotel was fashionable. There is a classic old wooden front desk and... More

Hotel must once have looked like a setting for Agatha Christie's Poirot, but now feels more like The Shining. We seemed to be the only guests and a lot of refurbishing was going on. Smell of moth balls and latex paint. It is unlikely that the refurb will take care of all the issues such as old furniture, poor heating,... More

Faded glory of the early 1900s - like stepping back into a timewarp. Aged Turkish ladies played cards every day (one said she had come here every summer for a month for the last twenty years), seated on original 1920s furniture and listened to a couple of impromptu violin recitals from a guest (must have been a professional, as incredible...

Spledid Palace Hotel stands tall and proud overlooking the main town of Buyukada and you know you are arriving at somewhere special as soon as the whiteboarded hotel comes into view on the ferry from the mainland. Small flags flutter from the four domes high on its roof and the red shutters leading out onto the small balconies are all... More

First, you have to be OK with some peeling paint and threadbare carpet. If so, then everything else was great. Lots of character, like a time capsule and a perfect fit for the carriage ride atmosphere of the island. We had big seaview rooms which are well worth the upgrade charge if you can get them. The hotel is across... More
