Ups & Downs - Lion Boutique Hotel

  • ✓ You cannot beat the location if you are a beach lover; it is on the so-called "first line" just across the pedestrian promenade from the sea.
  • ✓ The rooms provide an excellent view of the Marmara Sea, with its skyline meeting that of Istanbul and the Prince Islands on clear days.
  • ✓ The interior is new and modern compared to the competition in Çınarcık. Laminate flooring, new beds, and tiled bathrooms describe a fresh way of saying the old hotels with carpeted floors, blankets instead of duvets on the bed, and shared or ensuite plastic-clad shower rooms.
  • ✓ Frequently commented on as being typically Turkish in their warmth toward guests-mostly going out of their way to help a guest with luggage or giving some local information-the staff does indeed create an atmosphere that makes one feel at home.
  • × This is the big one: NOISE- live music from the hotel's own restaurant (and neighboring bars) very late at night, vibrating through the floors.
  • × Parking! In summer! Without any private garage of their own and all that impossibly hard-to-find parking space on the narrow streets behind the hotel? Yes, parking.
  • × The beach directly in front is narrow and gravelly; the better sandy beaches require a short walk or drive further down the coast.

Deep Dive - Lion Boutique Hotel

  • Worth the Cost Value for money is generally good for the location, especially if you snag a deal in the shoulder season (May or September).
  • Service Quality Friendly and personal service; small team who makes sure to give their full attention, even if not perfectly fluent in English.
  • Location Quality 5/5 for summer holidaymakers; you are at the heart of promenade lifestyle which is right on the epicenter in Çınarcık.
  • Area & Access Bright and colorful environment with ice-cream sellers, tea gardens, and people sitting or walking along the seawall.
  • Cleanliness Housekeeping must have been trained and oriented on the basic concept of cleanliness. They never leave any single area, either inside the rooms or in common areas, unattended.
  • Breakfast A wide Turkish breakfast is served at a restaurant by the sea. Quite uplifting to start a day this way.
