Char Me Hotel

Spent a lovely week at Char Me in October run by Nurcan and her family. We have rarely encountered such a friendly and helpful team in our years of travelling. Set in the heart of the vibrant Old Town, you are literally transported back in time in the winding, narrow streets built on the old Roman city. It was so nice having breakfast by the pool every morning. Great coffee and lots of local Turkish dishes to enjoy. Thanks to everyone for helping to make it a memorable holiday.

Lovely boutique hotel in the old town, in a fantastic location.
Very kind and helpful hosts who looked after us well for our eight night stay.
The rooms, service and buffet breakfast were excellent.
We highly recommend this hotel and hope to return soon.

What a gem in the heart of the Old City. Walk 50 meters in any direction and you are surrounded by shops, restaurants and bars. Exceptionally clean and well appointed rooms, a lovely swimming pool and plenty of outdoor space to relax. The breakfast buffet, served alongside the pool consists of local breads, cheeses, olives, tomatoes, peppers and a variety of fruits and drinks. This is no ordinary hotel, you are treated like family at Char Me.

CHARM ME is charming!  Stayed here on my own and it was exactly what I wanted, peaceful and serene. I had the pool to myself everyday, and it was 27 degrees, for mid November I was so pleased to get my vitamin D before going back to the cold UK. Please be aware we are next to a mosque so you might jump out of your skin if sleeping by the pool if you don't know in advance. The morning prayer is 630am, I enjoyed waking up to the sound, for me it added to the Turkish experience.  I was upgraded to room number 1 upstairs which was a nice suprise, it was so beautiful, I slept really well, the bed was perfect for my bad neck, the decor was so unique around the whole hotel, so many quirky things, infact most of it was to my taste. The breakfast was AMAZING, I was blown away by it! Honey cheese and jam together WOW and eggy bread. A top tip when the lady asks if you eat fried egs be sure you say well cooked if you prefer. The 2nd day I had scrambled eggs which were delicious, I also got fruit and mixed breads, tomatoes, olives, walnuts, all the produce was top notch. The oranges freshly plucked from the huge orange tree with an abundance of fruit on it! My idea of heaven and the tea was good, I'm fussy with my Tea.

The staff here are so kind and sweet, they are a family and made me feel very welcome and were helpful with tips.

The tip I will give is when sitting around the pool try to sit next to the entrance from the garden as the WiFi will not connect if you sit over the other side, I needed WiFi to read. Also if you are English bring a book as you will not find anything English to read in Turkey, I walked miles looking for a book or a magazine and once finished you could leave it for another customer as I think they would appreciate that, I like to add a little note and a date for the next person. I would come back here again in a heartbeats, it's such a cute little town, especially at night walking around all the pretty streets. I can also recommend Vanilla restaurant 1 min walk, fine dining and amazing food.

Look ok from outside

This is a wonderful place for staying in Kaleici. We spent couple nights with my wife and enjoyed every minute:) Staff was well prepared and rooms were perfectly clean. Thank you!

Darling place, friendly staff, wonderful breakfast.

Love this place. It's truly a gem. From Turkish breakfast poolside to wine poolside in afternoon... loved every moment relaxing at Char. Great location too. Rooms and lounging areas are lovely.

Its an amazing place with special atmosphere! Everything is so cool, territory is calming and inspiring. Breakfast is delicious (the best turkish breakfast I ever tried. Frech orange juice, omlet with butter, cheese, olives and home made gams, good coffee etc).
You have everything you may need in the room, even a toothpaste and shaving cream, flip flops, teapot etc.
Staff are very helpful and polite. Thanks to Nurcan, night receptionist and Leyla.
The only thin moment is a very laud creaking bed.

So relax and peacefull
