Nysa Hotel

The views from the hotel are spectacular with the Meander Valley spread out below you as you look over Sultanhisar. The views make up for most of the shortcomings. There is signposting from Sultanhisar and it is only a short drive on hillside roads to the ancient city of Nysa. There is lots of car parking. It is a steep climb up from the bus stops in town and many folk would need to use a taxi. The hotel is dated with evidence of much use in the furniture, a light which did not work and a toilet seat which fell down. The room was an OK size with clean bathroom. Rooms have a view over the pool to the Meander valley below or to the garden. During Covid times you need to provide your own towels but clean bedding is provided. Tea, coffee, kettle and water are provided. There was a mini bar but no price list. No information about restaurants times etc. The staff were helpful but it seemed a bit functional. The onsite restaurant has inside and outside dining, both having the views. The internet did not work. Staff members tried, but failed, to connect me, even in reception. The pool is large and the area clean. There are walks out the back of the hotel into olive groves that give views of the lower part of the valley where the ruins of Nysa are sited. The first view point gives great views but is used as a bin store. There are no way marked walks. Dinner and alcoholic drinks are available in the evening and prices are OK. Breakfast was buffet style which surprised me in these Covid times. Also some staff did not always wear masks. Sanitiser was readily available. The situation and structure of Nysa Hotel is great but attention to detail lets it down.

The hotel was very dated but clean with good food, good service and friendly staff. It was nice to have a balcony with a lovely view. It was a great hilltop view over the town. The bathroom has been updated however, installation and maintenence are poor. The electric socket in the bathroom was hanging off the wall over the sink which we thought was dangerous. A cupboard door was off it's hinges and leaning up against the wall. The shower tray was badly installed which channeled water from around the edges onto and across the bathroom floor. There was no top bedsheet so that the cover and blanket were not wide enough for the bed. Lovely outdoor space to walk in again overlooking the town and surrounding countryside.
