Not my best experience
I stayed with my mum for three nights, only positive was the proximity to the main attractions. People at reception were nice, but our room was clearly not cleaned before our arrival, there was hair everywhere, including a bunch of hairs on the shower walls. It's outdated, which would've been fine as long as it was clean, but that was not the case. Breakfast is nothing like what you see on the pictures, I specifically wanted to have breakfast included and we had it only once, because it was not worth having it the rest of days, the only fruit available was apples (not sliced), dry pastries and bread, and when I requested to have some more tomatoes re filled 45 minutes before breakfast was supposed to finish, the lady refused to fill up the tray again. Pictures should be updated and show what you really offer for customers to avoid disappointment. Overall, not the nicest of my stays, but made us want to explore more outside instead of staying in the hotel.

We stayed 5 days at this property. We booked a design suites and the size is adequate for 2 of us. It is in a great location and in the middle of old town. However, the room is not clean and the floor is filthy. We also recorded a video of live roaches crawling up from the bathroom vanity and we showed to the front desk staff. The room has a decent view of the sea and the mosque from distance. However, there were a lot of cigarette buttons threw down the balcony from people smoke above us. Also, the guests threw down foods and breads for the cats and birds. The breakfast is mediocre and low quality. The had many items spreading out but most were low in quality. The breakfast selections were the same each day. We ate their breakfast only 1 day and skipped the rest of our stay. This is not considered of 4 stars hotel as they advertised themselves. The pictures on their website were taken many years ago and the room furnitures were wore out/dated. The reception guy with beards is not friendly.

We stayed at Yilsam for 4 days and it was hands down the best hotel to stay in the area. The mosques were walking distance, the breakfasts were amazing and the views were outstanding. Will definitely be staying again when I return to Turkey.

Pros: Extremely convenient location; very friendly and helpful staff; excellent breakfast. Cons: room/s located on floor 2 below terrace restaurant—loud noises of furniture being dragged across floor above us until late into night making it impossible to sleep; smell of cigarette smoke permeated room nonstop triggering allergies and making us feel sick
