Enda Boutique Hotel Kalkan

Guests praise the comfortable beds, views, cleanliness, and helpful staff. They enjoy the varied breakfast and spacious pool with a rooftop terrace. Convenient location near town center and shops.

We had nine nights at the Enda hotel and it was one of the best hotels we have stayed at in kalkan. The owners were very welcoming. We always enjoyed a chat with Samet at reception desk. There was no secret "hatch " as previously mentioned, their living quaters were to the side of reception and the door was done in the same design as the walls. Yes the hotel rooms were on the smaller side , but they were spotlessly clean and more than adequate and perfectly suitable for what was required. We moved to a sea facing room and we did pay the upgrade, which we were more than happy to do. The room was not any larger but the view was fabulous. There is enough room for 2 persons to sit on the balcony , a folding table is provided, very ingeneous!.Breakfast was superb a traditional turkish breakfast which was huge, and every day there was a new dish or two added to keep up the variety. Coffee was very good and plentiful, the only thing missing was fruit juice. The hotel is only 10 min walk from the harbour and 7 mins from centre of town, but like all of kalkan it is uphill, our fitness level certainly improved . Enda (the dog) was a big softie and always liked a bit of a fuss. When it was time to leave we were waved off by Samet , which is the norm (certainly wherever we have stayed in kalkan ) and we feel it is a nice touch, . When in kalkan again we would stay at The Enda again and we certainly would recommend anyone to stay there, if you want to experience a small family run hotel , where they care about their guests comfort and service is certainly with a smile.!!!

We were the only people staying in the hotel, the owner tried to get us to go and see another hotel that he was thinking of buying near Istanbul - we declined, the owners then disappeared for several days and left the hotel to be run by three young interns - this was the best part of out holiday. they looked after us brilliantly and made sure that we were comfortable, they made us a beautiful breakfast every morning and they ran reception and kept the hotel spotless. When the owners returned they only spoke to us to greet us in the morning and that was literally it, even when they returned, we did not see them do any work around the hotel, the interns were still doing everything as far as we could see and they seemed to be working extremely long hours, we didn't see any of them get a day off in the nine days that we were there. Our room was very small and claustrophobic, the bathroom was tiny and we have to get into the shower sideways to navigate the sink, the balcony was small and only had two chairs and no table, we had to sit with our knees touching, there were other rooms at the end of our corridor which were bigger and had a fridge, I would have though that as we were the only people there the owners would have maybe moved us but no, we were left in out teeny room for nine night trying not to trip each other up and taking turns to sit outside! On the night that we left the owner appeared from behind a panel in the wall in the reception area and followed us to the taxi, the interns carried our cases, we carried our own rucksacks and he watched us then waved us off - it felt like he couldn't wait to get rid of us. The hotel itself is in a good spot, it's two streets above the old town and an easy walk from the newer parts of Kalkan, it's such a shame that we didn't feel welcomed by the owners but a HUGE thank you to the interns who were the best thing about our stay (and Enda the dog who spent her time with us while the owners were away).
