Samokatus Hotels

The Marriott is often compared to a giant phallus.

Courtyard by Marriott Osaka Honmachi is a modern, clean hotel located in central Osaka with direct access to Sakaisuji-Honmachi subway station. The hotel offers comfortable accommodations with excellent amenities including hot spring baths (onsen), fitness center, and well-appointed rooms. While rooms are compact, they are clean and functional with comfortable beds. The location is ideal for exploring Osaka, within walking distance to Shinsaibashi and Osaka Castle. However, Marriott elite members should note that breakfast is not complimentary and there is no executive lounge. Some guests report noise from the nearby highway and find the rooms small for the price point.

Crystal House Suite Hotel&SPA is a modern, apartment-style 5-star hotel on the Lower Pond with consistently praised breakfasts, spacious lake-facing suites and a well-regarded spa. Reviewers highlight attentive staff and large balconies, while a small indoor pool and occasional event catering issues are the main drawbacks.

Luxury all‑inclusive resort in Belek praised for exceptional service, varied high‑quality dining and family facilities including a large aquapark and kids’ clubs. Guests repeatedly highlight personal assistants, attentive waitstaff and spotless, modern rooms with some swim‑up options and heated pools out of season.

Housed in a historic Camondo-era building just minutes from Galata Tower, DeCamondo Galata blends loft-like design with a rooftop breakfast terrace that guests consistently praise for views and quality. Reviews repeatedly highlight friendly, helpful staff (several name individual employees) and spotless rooms, though some visitors note small room sizes and occasional service lapses.

A modern, adults‑only cliffside hotel in Lara with dramatic sea views, a private deck with steps into the water and well‑rated spa and pool areas. Guests frequently single out reception and concierge staff (Mahsa, Alla, Emre, Abdullah) for excellent service, while complaints center on compact room sizes and strict no‑outside‑food/drink rules.
