This is a good old-fashioned hotel, a place with a history. It is simply impossible to compare it with modern newly built hotels. The renovation was in 2009, a long time ago, but everything works in the room, the shower does not leak, the plumbing is in good condition, no rust, mold, etc. It's simple, but with dignity. The only negative was in the doors to the room themselves - they are cracked, they do not close tightly, and you can hear noise from the corridor. But it was quiet at night. The bathroom door is also sliding, and it creaks. There are no more complaints about the number.
Breakfast is very simple: bread, boiled eggs, tomatoes, cucumbers, herbs, baked peppers, several types of cheese, 1 type of sausage, sausages in sauce, jam, muesli. Instant coffee. We didn't go to dinner.
On the 2nd floor there are baths for the family, but no one used them with us, on the 1st floor there are men and women separately (I did not see a pool for women, a hammam for men, a hammam), on the 0 - exit to the communal pool, there is a children's pool, and you can go to a detached hammam. A large territory, several springs - for the stomach, for the eyes, for the legs - they can be used by all visitors, not only those staying at the hotel. The village with a large selection of cafes is 5-7 minutes away. The Ataturk Pavilion is in front of the hotel entrance.
A great resort, but everything is so old, shabby... The buffet in the morning/evening is delicious and varied. Baking in the hall, tea in the lobby - you walk around, rattle the plates, because we are not used to drinking tea separately)))
The rooms are simple and clean. Several outlets did not work, and a hairdryer was used in the room.
The nature is very beautiful, but the territory demands, just screams about additional.care and investments. We walked around the territory and almost opposite the hotel, stray dogs started barking at us in the trees (!!!). They didn't chase us well - they kicked us out "from their territory" and lay down under the trees - and there's a footpath!!!
We arrived only at the resort, but on the recommendation of the women who rode with us in the minibus, we stayed for a day and do not regret it. And we went to the baths (my husband even 2 times), and took a walk, and rested, though we slept badly - it feels like next to the room either the elevator was constantly turned on, or some kind of hood.
I recently visited the Yalova thermal resort, and my impressions were very positive. The natural beauty around the spring is breathtaking. The thermal water has a pleasant temperature, and bathing in it is a real pleasure. The infrastructure is well developed: there are changing rooms, showers and recreation areas. A great place for relaxation and wellness. I recommend you to visit!”
The place is great and definitely needs attention. We also went on our own, by ferry, from it there is a minibus straight to the place.
A little tired repair, but you stop noticing it after 5 minutes - the hammam is excellent, the pools are super! The feeling after 2 hours that you were born again! Set aside time for a walk- there are several hot springs higher up the mountain that are worthy of attention.
You need to take all the soap and soap accessories with you. There is an inexpensive massage and scrubbing inside.
A great place to relax with the whole family and restore health. Beautiful, clean. The service is good. The prices are reasonable. I am absolutely delighted with the thermal springs and nature. The food is excellent. There is vegetarian and PP.
A very colorful place, not a luxury (because the baths are state-owned). In winter, it's just gorgeous in the hot pool. The sauna is also thermal, i.e. hot water on the walls from the springs. The contrast between a hot and an ice pool has a very interesting effect. There are very tasty cafes in the town above.
We came from Istanbul by ferry for one day, there are a lot of impressions, the complex is small, but cool, it's worth a rest, I recommend it!
Opposite the entrance in the far corner is an entourage tea room, where Turkish tea is poured and fresh can be squeezed out!
The first time I was in the steam room, which is heated by water, I tried to put my foot on a stone - I can't stand it. The air is very peculiar, next to the ditch where the hot river flows there is a specific smell, but not sharp!
This complex is an example of what a Turkish bath looks like, otherwise than we think!
We went to a cafe for dinner, which is 100 meters from the top, it was on the 4th floor, but the view is cool!
We left in the dark, tired, but happy! It was November 2020, covid restrictions, so there were few people, and on the ferry they asked very much: a nose mask!
I recommend it for holidays with both adults and children
It's a long way to go from Istanbul. But it's worth it once. A sauna with mineral water and a hot pool are excellent. But I want to cool down after them and swim in an ordinary pool, with water at 28 degrees. Therefore, the second pool, which is outside, I would like it to be colder, not 37 degrees. There is a small park with mineral water at the sanatorium. It's also worth a walk there.
The prices are high, the family baths are small. The water is really healing, the nature of the environment is wonderful. The tradesmen began to exaggerate the prices, unfortunately. A tea on the chair he threw on the street is 40 TL, think about the rest. The mixed pool and baths of the thermal are very spacious and ideal
At 24 degrees outside, swimming at 37 is too hot, uncomfortable.220 liras per person, includes only a swimming pool, hammam additional payment.massage is offered.
There are a lot of people, the water in the pool is dirty, the pieces are floating. So-so impression. Look for another option

A great place to relax. A good tour. We enjoyed spending the day at the thermal springs in Yalovo.
I didn't like it terribly , dirt , some kind of human skin floats in the pool, well, in general, the Savdep theme is like this ... after the steam room, many, without washing, climb into the hot pool …
In April 2022, at the entrance to the pool, they gladly accepted the money for the visit (88 lira). Having received no instruction and changed into ordinary bathing trunks, he was stopped by a guard who said that you can only swim in shorts. I asked him where it was said. He couldn't answer and brought some shorts. He said buy it for 50 lire. I didn't buy it, because there are no shops on the territory of the pool and I don't understand where he got these shorts from. I asked for a refund of his entrance fee, because I did not use the service. He refused. He didn't return the money, he just left. Bad sediment.
They did not live in the hotel itself, they came on foot just to swim in the hot pool and hammam. In November 2021, the pool + hammam together cost 46 lira per person. In principle, it's worth the money. I liked everything. You can swim, then go to the hammam, then swim again. There are lockers, towels are provided, you can drink tea and coffee.
