We just completed a two week Insight tour of Turkey with excellent experiences at Hiltons, Sheratons, and other properties throughout Turkey. This Hotel Kolin was the only exception to a pleasant list of many hotels...gracious Turkish hosts, except for the Kolin! On our approach, someone on our tour bus said it looked like a prison and guess what...it was! We... more

We were booked into the Kolin Hotel as part of a private 2 day tour to Gallipoli and Troy from Istanbul. The reviews in Tripadvisor were conflicting so we set our sights low to avoid disappointment. From our greeting at the door to the efficient welcome at Reception everything went well. We were given a 7th floor room overlooking the... more

The Kolin Hotel is beautiful-and a little too full of itself. Our room was lovely, with all the usual amenities (presented in individual fancy boxes tied with string), a comfortable bed, and a lovely sea view. Both the dinner and breakfast buffet looked much better than they actually were. Although there were some standouts, most of the food was fairly... more

block C rooms seem to have been renovated so no complaints about room. Free internet in lobby. Raining when we checked in so I used indoor area- quite nice but must have bathing cap- 5 lira. Large change area, turkish bath etc. Food - typical buffet food with long line-ups. Charge for water with meals. Very little fruit available at... more

The hotel exceeded our expectations. The rooms were pleasant with a great view over the Dardanelles. We had a lot of problems with our room access card, but the staff were efficient about fixing it each time. As independent travellers, we felt a bit overwhelmed by the hoards of tour groups that descended on the breakfast and dinner buffets like... more

The Kolin Hotelwould have to be the worst hotel we have ever stayed in. I would rate it as one star maximum and in saying that I am being generous! The rooms are very dirty; Service is extremely poor; Staff are absolutely the rudest you could ever encounter. Air conditioning in rooms doesn't work and staff made no effort to... more

This hotel should be shut down. Incompetent, rude, unprofessional staff and management , together with dirty rooms, tired decor and mediocre facilities make this hotel the last place on earth you would want to stay. Guests are treated with contempt and as an inconvenience. Certainly not a 5 star hotel, and best to stay in the other lower rated hotels... more

Was staying in this hotel on my way to Gallipoli. This hotel is on the banks of the Dardanelles. You can easily walk to a beautiful promenade directly to the water. But it is at least 15-20 minutes by TAXI from downtown Canakkale, which is lovely coastal town with a potential for exploration if you stay in the city center.... more

Kolin Hotel, Canakkale – Location, Location, Location! Because of the Canakkale’s proximity to the sites of Gallipoli and Troy, large groups of tourists of every nationality visit the area and the Kolin Hotel caters to them all. It is a massive property that is surprisingly efficient in processing the packaged bus tours that sweep in and out. While we were... more
