Hotel Kum in Eceabat

I cannot believe Ledger would use such a place. It must be really cheap. We were warned but the free high speed WiFi is a joke.It isn't fast and it only really works in bar, which doesn't even have a TV. 500 plus channels but not one in english unless you pay extra. Food is one star minus buffet with only 4 choices of mains, one was chicken nuggets. Tried too access menu to check allergies but WiFi doesn't work in what is laughing called the restaurant. Room very average. Broken key port for power. Lock box has no instructions. Wardrobe had 4 hangers salvaged from rubbish. Towels and sheets very poor quality. They look and feel like they been washed to death. Bathmat had unusual stains. No staff interaction. They handed out keys and ran away. Very limited choice of non alcoholic drinks. They didn't even have tonic water. I have travelled a bit but this place is a real third world experience.

Positives - ideal base for touring the Gallipoli Battlefield (Helles, Anzac Cove and Suvla Bay); friendly staff, though with limited English; fairly cheap drinks; next to a very quiet beach on the Aegean with great sunsets and dark skies; lots of terrapins to feed from a small bridge next to the beach Negative 1 - very basic rooms - fridge not connected (though bottles of water left in the fridge each day), air conditioning temperamental, shower that switched regularly from hot to cold, the smoke alarm fell off in the middle of night (and was not fixed or replaced), towels replaced daily but not always with two; when we spoke to anyone about our issues using Google Translate, nothing was done Negative 2 - the breakfast food was limited; no orange juice or yogurts; the evening food was mediocre and I survived on something with rice and chips each night; lots of flies on the food Negative 3 - the swimming pool hadn't been filled

Stayed in a triple room with my two sons. The choice of accommodation was for the location which was great for Anzac enthusiasts. The room barely fit three beds and there was only one small wardrobe available for our three cases. Hence, it was a very tight couple of days. I would advise a maximum of a double room as a triple does not work. Beds were pretty old and not very comfortable. The shower pressure changes and you get a cold burst every 30-40 seconds . Food : breakfast/dinner were tasty, fairly simple but decent choice.
