Grand Ucel is NOT and never will be a 4 star hotel. I have been going to Turkey since 1995 and this hotel cannot hide behind the fact that 'its Turkey and its basic' because this hotel simply should and could be better for the money. Rooms - dated with broken air con and broken fridge. Hardest beds in the... more

Apologies for a false fact that was included in my previous review. I mentioned that the trips were organised at the front desk, which was incorrect. They were actually booked with a company called pioneer travel. I hope this mistake has caused no inconvenience. more

When we first pulled up outside the hotel at close to midnight, it looked like a five star . The people on reception were really friendly, and there was a dim light around the swimming pool, making it look warm and inviting. Then, we rounded a corner, into a white walled corridor with cracks here and there, but we kept... more

The hotel pool was spotless and the acqua park provided our daughter with hours of fun.Our rooms... more

Christmaseve 2008, cold and almost dark. After a long, difficult journey (including a snowstorm) by car through Anatolia (Turkey) I finally found the hotel.

Been back in England for 5 days now and we really miss the Grand Ucel. Had a look at other properties in Ovacik but for genuine warmth and attentiveness, this place is tops! Very clean, fantastic pool area and great rooms - unlike some that you can't swing a cat in. Already re-booked for next June. Our advice would be... more
