During our 10 days vacation to Turkey (first time), we have stayed 4 days at this charming hotel. We have organized our Turkey trip through an agency but one of our friends found Kismet and insisted us to stay at this hotel. We are gladly that he did. It is one of the most characteristic and unique hotel I have... more

This hotel certainly has seen better days, but I think it has decided to cater to tour groups and short timers. Thirty years ago I'm sure it was one of the best in the area. The views and location of public areas are still stunning, but the furniture, outdoor bars, beach areas are in need of repair and refurbishment. That... more

We stayed at The Kismet for 5 days with a tour, and at first I was delighted with the room, which was initially 2 rooms, with the adjoining wall knocked out to make a larger room, with 2 bathrooms. Bed was fine, view over the marina was fantastic, and the swim in the Aegean was wonderful. The room was dirty.... more

We stayed 3 nights at this hotel during our tour of Turkey. The rooms were new and clean, and the breakfast buffet was ample. It is a leisurely 1-2 mile walk along the yacht basin/beach to the center of town. Highly recommend the hotel to all! more

Kismet Hotel is wonderful. I'd read some negative reviews about the hotel after we booked for our Aug/Sept 2009 stay. My gut instinct told me to stick with the original reservations and I am GLAD WE DID. The hotel is situated on the water on the edge of town in Kusadasi. It is quiet, lovely and peaceful. The grounds are... more

Dated, stuffy, living on past glories. Who's interested in ancient photos of past personalities? In our room we could get no hot water into the dangerously deep, stepped bath. Our guide agreed, but was initially then duped by a 'handyman' turing on the cold (instead of hot) water to demonstrate that tap and shower did work! Turned by me to... more

I stayed at the Kismet with my husband, son and parents earlier this month. At best, I would give this hotel 2 stars. When we walked in, the reception area reeked of smoke. After checking in, we preceded to our rooms - the elevator did not work and the halls were unairconditioned. After opening the door to the rooms, I... more

My wfe and I stayed 3 nights last month (14th/17th) in this hotel which we selected for its location. We felt everytime we intereacted with the staff (perhaps with the exception of the bar staff) that we were bothering them. Upon check in, we were assigned a twin bedded room when we had reserved a room with a large bed.... more

The garden and setting high on the hill overlooking the sea were wonderful. The room was spacious and clean. The pool area is lovely and new, although a bit of a walk from the main hotel. There is also an area of private beach and a tennis court overlooking the sea. I would describe the hotel as a little dated... more
