Sinop Antik Otel

We had the smallest room (business) and it was definitely tiny. Even more so after 30 days in it. But, it was a great room overall. The amenities are great. The beach is beautiful and the restaurant is great! Actually, I enjoyed the restaurant the most! The food is great. All of it. Our servers over my month stay were Muhammet and Bahadir and they took wonderful care of everyone in our business party. They were extremely attentive and attention to detail was great! Always a kind word and a smile from these guys. They are funny as well! Love it!

Sinop Antik Otel actually does have antiquities in it: there is a very nice collection of amphorae, statuettes and other Hellenistic bits and bobs. The overall decor is also very tasteful. That said, aesthetics take priority over practicality; for example, the rooms have frosted glass doors which look nice but flood your room with light at the break of day. When we pointed this out, the receptionist said all the rooms were like that and we were the first to complain, which reminded me of when I rang up a restaurant and politely informed them that I'd got food poisoning from the meal I ate there to be told that they'd never had any complaints before - in other words, it's your sensitive stomach, not our undercooked chicken. My main gripe, though, was that we were promised a "garden view" room which actually turned out to be more of an alley view. They have constructed an extra building since the hotel was founded, and it's squashed up against a block of holiday homes, so as well as the early morning light, you get the neighbours' breakfast conversation. Since there were no other rooms available, we left the next day. On the positive side, the hotel has a nice sandy private beach in its own little bay. Like all the Sinop beaches you may at first be alarmed by jellyfish, but they don't seem to be aggressive. Breakfast is your standard Turkish open buffet - pretty decent but not spectacular. The restaurant has a good selection of tasty dishes. All in all, Sinop Antik Otel is a nice place to stay if you like antiquities, have a top-quality sleep mask and above all, stay in the main building. Otherwise, there are better places to stay in Sinop.
