Gullu Konaklari

We stayed here for 3 nights as part of our Sirince leg of a tour of Turkey. Whilst the hotel is relatively basic, it is full of local charm in a beautiful setting. The best bit of the Gullu is the personalised breakfast you are provided with each morning - a large mix of local mezze that was a unique experience & truly delicious, something I will always remember from this trip. We also had dinner here one night, which was also very nice. The service we experienced from all the staff there was also really friendly. Would recommend to anyone staying in Sirince.

Overall the hotel is okay. We ended up not staying for the night, but room and dinner are alright though we had to wait quite long time to get the food served. The garden and view are great too. But there is one very big issue i had with the reception lady. She is very nasty and rude. During our check in process she welcomed us at the waiting room upstairs, then she came down to the reception office to finish the process. While waiting, my wife was taking some videos and photos near the entrance where i could see her inside the reception office. While i thought i was doing her a favor by coming into the reception office to get things done, she literally asked me what i was doing in there and told me to wait upstairs in a very rude way. 15-20 minutes later, we came down from our room, she received guests in the reception room too. I honestly was quite taken aback by her attitude and just ruin our mood. Luckily we didn't stay, otherwise it's just a very very bad experience. Never had i got that kind of treatment anywhere around the world.

The facilities are beautiful. The building is a 19th century mansion build in an olive grove with amazing views of the village. The gardens are very nice and the rooms are spacious with vintage vibes. The breakfast is super delicious and traditional. The staff is very kind and helpful. I will definitely be back 🙏

Update: seems like all the issues that we had with during our stay boiled down to the fact that the facility is severely understaffed. So with the limited number amount of people they make do. That being said, it was apparent that each staff was trying their best. Language is a barrier as staff may not speak English fluently but basic communication should be fine. We found the stay in the hotel to be very enjoyable and relaxing until the end Previous review: Stay was off to a very bad start. We wanted a peace of mind and asked to be picked up from airport by private transfer and the hotel managed to butcher very simple task Despite us asking for details on how we will be picked up from the airport, we were just being given a generic answer that someone will wait with a piece of paper with our name upon arrival The issue is: no one actually showed up with a piece of paper waiting for us when we exited from baggage claim area Given that we were never told the driver contact number, we had to be the one trying to find the driver in the airport. He (a man bringing a piece of paper) wasn't anywhere to be found. Only when we exited the arrival area on to the roadside and sent a message to hotel to ask where the driver was, and continue to look around us, we spotted him behind in the arrival area coming out of nowhere and looking clueless He told us to wait by the roadside, seemingly to pickup the car, and left us waiting for 40 minutes in 36C degrees weather. All that time the driver already had my WhatsApp number as it's printed in the paper he brought with him. He could've directly messaged me to coordinate with me and make things easier, but he took off without keeping us posted With no sign of him now for the second time after we saw him briefly and were told to wait, I had to contact the hotel to reach out the driver (the hotel didn't even bother to pickup our calls in the first 3 of them). They were nonchalant about this and actually asked us back what they should do about it and gave weird excuses like the flight was 12.10PM arrival (it was and it actually arrived on time hence we shouldn't have to wait that long for him to turn up and for him to get the car from car park), and something else about the driver mistakenly waiting in international arrival (we had given all information about our flight details prior to the hotel and the hotel said they've also already given this to the driver), and the car getting stuck in traffic jam (there was no traffic whatsoever in the airport area) Even after I had managed to get in touch with the hotel via WhatsApp, they will only forward his WhatsApp message to me instead of sharing me his number After 40 minutes of waiting, finally the driver showed up For the price point we were quoted which was at a premium, things are managed much more professionally on other parts of world that's even far less touristy

Staying at Güllü Konakları Şirince was like stepping into a time machine—embracing the charm and beauty of the past while enjoying the luxury and comfort of today. The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming, making us feel truly at home. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful, with fresh, local flavors. The location is perfect—peaceful yet central—and the views are absolutely spectacular. Every moment here was a joy, and we left with beautiful memories. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a magical getaway in Şirince!

Our 4th visit to Sirince which we love, but first time we have stayed.|Picked a winner!|100m from the hustle and bustle of the village, yet serene.|Excellent room, service and value.|Above excellent charm, ambience, terrace views, breakfast and what we would call our own private “sitooterie”.|Only minor gripe was wine prices, which we avoided.|Would thoroughly reccomend.

This was the most charging hotel I have ever stayed. It felt like a hotel from a fairy tale. We loved our stay in this charming little town over looking the mountains and walking distance to the cutest shops with the nicest people we have met in Turkey. The hotel staff went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. We left our hearts in this beautiful hotel and town.

The hotel is a tranquil oasis on the edge of the village with a lot of character and charm. The views are beautiful, there are several lovely gardens and patios and there are lots of nice spots to chill out both indoor and outdoor. The village itself is busy with tour groups during the day and is a bit of a circus but is quiet in the early morning and evening. ||The room fixtures have seen better days and some things could do with being replaced eg lamp shades and blinds which are old and stained and peeling paint that could do with refreshing. We had a few issues - the WiFi connection was intermittent and slow most of the time and the electricity in our room went off at one point. Service was a bit haphazard in general with a few communication difficulties. We also had a maintenance issue which took two days to fix. Housekeeping was not up to scratch. In our bathroom there was black dust on a ledge and marks on the tiles where it hadn’t been cleaned properly. Teabags, biscuits and nuts were not replenished after the first day. No coffee was provided. Water was provided in glass bottles but no glasses to drink out of. We have found the lack of glasses common in the hotels we stayed at in Turkey but it seems strange to us. ||The temperatures were a bit chilly during our stay in late April and it rained a lot but the room was not very warm as there was no heating on. The fireplaces in the public areas were also not in use which was a pity. Our bathtub was a lifesaver to warm up. ||Breakfast was served at our table rather than a buffet. There was a nice selection of the usual items and it was good quality and homemade. The only negative was the eggs which were extremely oily. Unusually orange juice was not included and you had to pay extra. We stayed for three days and there was no variation in the breakfast spread whatsoever. They served identical items each day so by the last day we didn’t really want to eat anything. ||Dinner in the restaurant was not that great. We enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere but the food was a bit disappointing. The cheapest wine was quite steep at €57. We only ate there once as we were tired on arrival but as it was disappointing we ate dinner in the village on the other nights. ||Overall, it was a mixed bag. Lovely surroundings and views. Nice atmosphere. But service and facilities leave room for improvement.
