10 Jan 2012 Jiajing, China
The most satisfying hostel I have ever lived in Turkey. Clean and warm rooms, friendly staff and homemade Turish food. We watched football games together, drink wine and eat baked chestnuts. It's like your home.

Amazing family, with delicious home cooked breakfast and dinner. Always willing to pick up and drop off in town centre. Alex and Carlos were wonderful hosts, very easygoing, and catered to all requests with a smile. Turkish hospitality at its best. Mum and Dad were also an absolute treat to sit around the fire with. Highly recommended by Sam and Gabe from Vancouver, Canada.

Please note that this hostel claims to no longer have a relationship with you and did not receive our booking through you and did not honor our deposit through you.

Very good to excellent in all respects. This was the best place I stayed in Turkey: very moderately priced, with good & well maintained facilities, and well-run by a a helpful & cheerful staff.

This is not a Hostel, it is more like a resort for those on a budget. The staff is incredibly friendly, the food is fabulous, the poolside bar is perfect. I was planning on staying 1 night and visiting Ephesus but ended up staying 3 nights and relaxing in this beautiful setting. The only complaint I would have is that it is more than walking distance away from town but they do run free shuttles so it's not so bad, and really hanging out here is so nice who wants to leave anyway!

Atilla's Getaway has been by far the best hostel that we have stayed at during our travels. The staff is very friendly and helpful, the environment is clean, and the "backpacker's resort" layout promotes social interaction and fun. Almost everyone staying pays for the meal package, which provides a hearty breakfast and dinner each day. My only complaint comes from my fellow travelers: the bar (Bar 81) is so popular that sometimes drunken reveries continue into the early hours of the morning, marking it difficult to sleep.

Great place to stay. Carlos & Atilla were extremely helpful in every possible way.
