Metin's Gumusluk

Konumu mükemmel, temizlik çok detaylı yapılmıyor, çok titiz değilseniz tavsiye ederim

Really enjoyed our stay at Metins. Only a couple of minutes walk to the Dolmus station or the harbour front. The view from our top floor room was really lovely, with a nice table & chairs to chill at. The breakfast was delicious, very traditional Turkish. The staff very friendly. I wish we could have stayed longer

I discovered Metin Hotel via Google whilst looking for a hotel in Gumusluk. The price I found online was 380 lira for one night. I contacted the hotel directly and queried about it (as I prefer to communicate and book directly with the hotel rather than through a booking site so all the money goes to them). I was quoted an absurd 1,200 lira. I sent the hotel a screenshot of the price I found online and they said it was for April only, the prices were different for May. OK, peak season so price increases. But more than triple? I asked if they would consider keeping it 380/night for three nights as the first night I wanted to book fell in April and was the start of my booking. The person replied 'bespoke' with a laughing face. I found this incredibly rude as it was a reasonable request that they could have politely declined instead of taking the mick out of me. Two days later, I visited Gumusluk and coincidentally ended up at Metin while looking for a cafe for a small snack. I asked for the menu and this oldish guy with brown teeth said the menu was in his head and I can request anything I like. I told him I wanted something small, just a snack, not dinner as it was too early. We looked at some pictures online and then eventually I said small pastry with minced meat and potatoes and lemonade to drink. Food took ages to come, think I waited around 25 mins. During that time, I asked if the guy knew of any good hotels nearby for the next few nights. He said this was a hotel, pointing to my right where there were rooms on the above level. I learned that I was at Metin Hotel and felt uncomfortable due to the WhatsApp communication two days earlier. The guy offered to show me a room which I accepted and as we were going up the stairs, he said I had spoken to his receptionist a couple of days ago, so he already knew who I was. I felt embarrassed and wanted to leave but the food was already being made. The man showed me the room - it was alright, nothing wow. And then he quoted me a 'special price' just for me at $230 for three nights. What. A. Joke. I've been travelling through Turkey for two months now and have stayed in some very nice hotels - much better than the room this guy offered. And they were all reasonablly priced. The most I paid for a modern hotel room including breakfast was £31/night. I told him it was out of my budget and that was the end of our conversation. The food arrived and I suddenly felt awkward. I had a feeling he was going to rip me off with the price. Nonetheless, I thought I had to go through the motions, eat and pay whatever he charged me as it's tacky arguing over the bill. While the food had obviously been cooked fresh, the meat tasted weird. Like it was old meat that had been left in the fridge for a little too long and was only being cooked now. When it was time to pay, the guy charged me 125 liras. I told him it was very expensive for two small pastry rolls and a lemonade, and that's usually how much I spend on a whole me
