As part of our holiday this year we decided to drive from Bodrum to Istanbul. As loyal Kervansaray customers we booked into the Termal hotel and drove from there to Istanbul. We had booked directly through the Kervansaray website but when we arrived, they couldn't find our booking and told us that wasn't their website (it was). Anyway they offered us a coffee and about fifteen minutes later had sorted the problem and we were in. The room was very nice albeit small and the minibar was well stocked. The bathroom was posh looking but the tub leaked all over the floor when showering and there was a lot of mould. Dinner was exceptional. A smaller choice being a city hotel but the lamb was melt in your mouth and the beef was deliciously tender. The dining room was nice although the chairs are looking a bit well used. Breakfast was unusual - pizza bread and onion rings on offer but there was a dish of scrambled egg with tomatoes onion and chillies which was really good as well as a selection of pastries (the scones were incredible) and fresh fruits. The staff were friendly and attentive. The drinks prices were surprisingly good - we had expected to pay more. Over our two night stay we had six beers which cost 90tl (£13 ish). On our check out day we had a dip in the thermal pool (the pools you'll see in the pictures are the hamam ones in the lovely old building, not the indoor pool in the main building) which was lovely and warm. There is a window pane missing which means you can nip under and through to the outdoor pool - convenient! Overall a good experience.
