Forum Camlik

Very clean and great staff breakfast is wonderful

The thermal water pool was relaxing and enjoyable. We stayed here after a visit to Laodicea, Hierapolis and Pamukkale from our starting point of Kusadasi (which we used as a base to visit Ephesus). The hotel does not live up to 5-star category. We had 2 rooms. The non-smoking rooms smelled like smoke, the rooms smelled very stuffy, the bathroom was very basic (more like a 2 or 3 star hotel). There was only shampoo and a conditioner that looked extremely old (it had separated in the dispenser and looked like it had not been changed in a long time). There was no shower gel or bath soap. No tissue paper (Kleenex) in the bathroom (at all) - usually these are basics in a 5-star hotel. The buffet food both at dinner and breakfast was basic too. Instead of having so many dishes, it would be best if they offered less dishes but of higher quality. The hotel had very few guests and yet they could not give us two rooms next to each other (they were in the same hall but separated by another room).

The Colossae was a very comfortable and relaxing place to stay. It is very close to Hierapolis/Pamukkale, which is a must see. The hot springs on the property are excellent, very natural, and how they've been set up for use is well done. However, they are very hot! We were lucky to visit during winter time, which meant temps in the 50s and 60s which made the outdoor hot springs more tolerable to enjoy. In the summertime, I don't think these could be enjoyed at all. The hotel also had other things to do, such as a game center, and a large property to walk around. It's a pet friendly hotel, so this worked out well for us to be able to travel with our dog. The indoor pool and saunas were also nice. We also tried a massage at the spa and it was excellent. Staff was also very good, helpful and friendly.
