6 ROOMS BY AZUMARE

The location is in the heart of old Side town, but just off the busy main street in a quiet side square. Great location for walking to any beach, restaurant or activity in the area. The amphitheatre is about 5mins walk and the harbour around 10-15mins. The outside dining terraces are beautifully laid out and are a calm, relaxing area for breakfast, drinks or just relaxing with a book. There's an attached cafe/ shop which is open to the public and has a great selection of handmade cakes and pastries. If you want to go to the beach, a short walk west takes you to the Azumare Lounge where 6rooms guests get free use of the sun loungers on a small beach with pontoon. You get 10% off the menu at the Azumare Lounge and another restaurant in town by the harbour. If you do stay, and that recommended, make a point at going to the east side of the Side peninsula. That's where the best restaurants are (same price as the harbour but quiet with great views) and a small east facing beach with facilities, where the loungers are £2.25 (100lira) a day. Comfortable, clean, well designed room. Large shower, with good pressure and steady temperature. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room (free) and a mini bar (charges). Plenty of wardrobe space for clothes, iron and room safe. Aircon kept the room a pleasant temperature at night. Really friendly and helpful staff - never in your face like some places, but there when needed. Felt safe and looked after the entire holiday. Possibly the best breakfast we've ever had at a hotel, a large platter of local produce put together with care by the kitchen staff. The large breakfast meant we didn't need midday lunch! We're really glad we chose 6rooms instead of a crowded, busy and impersonal all inclusive. Horses for courses but I don't think we'd have had such an enjoyable, relaxing holiday had we gone all inclusive.

Everything was perfect. Amazing location, absolutely spotless clean. Breakfast was very nice, served in the terrace. Coffee drinks were fantastic; cocktails also. All staff, and specially Mustafa, were very welcoming, polite and helpful, always smiling. We would recommend this hotel and if we come back to Side, we'll definitely stay here again.

Firstly the staff were all lovely and friendly, we had to book just one night due to an error with our previous hotel, and the process was really smooth to check in; the cafe/restaurant also has delicious cakes and their Turkish breakfast is great quality, would definitely book here if staying in Side again! Wish we had booked here for the whole holiday!

Everything was amazing, the room is big and very well decorated. The breakfast is great on the terrace with a nice sea view. Special thanks to Mustafa who was very kind and speaks perfectly English

Very near to the beach (2 mins tops), and has a private beach. It's located near to the night life, but still, surprisingly quiet.
