엔다 부티크 호텔 칼칸

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).

Just returned from a 14 night break at this lovely hotel. We can fully endorse all of the previous good reviews. The hotel owners were friendly, kind and gracious and Enda the dog made us feel welcome too. The location is great for access to the town and local shops and doesn't require vertical walks up difficult paths, like some hotels and villas We heartily recommend this hotel as the ideal place to stay in Kalkan and cannot thank the hotel owners enough for their hospitality.
