Be Side Hotel

It was greay

Imagine arriving late at night, tired from your journey, only to be welcomed by a beaming smile and a heartfelt “Hoşgeldiniz” from the ever-charming Damla at the reception. Let me tell you, it wasn’t just the 4.9/5 customer rating that attracted me to Be Side Hotel in Atakum, Samsun. It was the glowing reviews, and boy, were they spot on! After a smooth check-in (thanks to Damla’s infectious energy), I was escorted to my room by Caner, who kindly handled my luggage. Upon entering, I knew I had hit the jackpot with this place. Spacious? Check. Stylish? Absolutely. Clean? Impeccably so! And as if that wasn’t enough, there was a handwritten note on the bedside table, welcoming me to the hotel. Beside it lay a small surprise—a Nazar Boncuğu (evil eye charm) to protect me on my travels. It’s the little touches like these that truly elevate the experience. Now, I’m someone who prides himself on being critical, especially with hotels. But no matter how hard I looked, I couldn’t find a single thing out of place. The room’s elegant decor, the comfy bed, and the spotless bathroom all screamed perfection. The next morning, after a blissful sleep, I made my way to breakfast, where I was warmly greeted by Ender, the hotel manager. The breakfast spread? Let’s just say it was a foodie’s paradise. From fresh veggies to a variety of Turkish delights, I felt spoiled for choice. They even asked if I preferred Turkish coffee or filter coffee—an excellent touch that catered to my caffeine needs. Over the next few days, I explored the hotel and continued to be impressed. The lobby was cozy, the interior design was perfectly balanced in color and tone, and once again, everything was spotlessly clean. It’s clear that every member of the staff is mobilized to ensure guests have an outstanding experience, from the top floor down to the ground. Now, let’s talk location. Be Side Hotel is ideally placed—just a three-minute walk from the beach! Restaurants, cafés, and bars are all within walking distance, making it a perfect spot for both business travelers and vacationers alike. But the cherry on top? Meeting the owners, Onur and Burcu, who were not just warm and friendly but genuinely invested in making their guests feel at home. By the end of my stay, we had already shared wonderful conversations, and I felt like I had made lifelong friends. To sum it up: Be Side Hotel in Samsun/Atakum is an absolute gem. Whether you’re a frequent traveler like me or just passing through, this is the kind of place that makes you want to return, again and again. It’s not just the fantastic rooms or the top-notch service—it’s the heart and soul of the people that make Be Side Hotel truly special. A 10/10 experience that I wholeheartedly recommend!
