"The place was cheap to rent an apartment but in 10 days, no one came to clean the room, change the towels or sheets!! We were left 1 rubbish bag, no washing liquid for the dishes, no cleaning cloth. There is no hot water in the kitchen sink or bathroom basin, only the shower.
We washed our own towels in the washing machine that was outside on the staircase.
On a good note the men on Reception are lovely, and really friendly"
Tina Waddle
"We stayed for 2 weeks in April - May and was happy. For the third time.
Quiet place, two rooms and a big balcony.
Yunus was very helpful, he solved all our problems.
Yes, the furniture and kitchen facilities are not new, but all works good. All that you need you can get on reception.
We was fully satisfied and are planning to spend our next vacation in Damlatas)
All is near - restaurants, shops, Kleopatra beach, market.
Thanks for Yunus and all staff members."
