Bebek Hotel By The Stay

Great restaurant, right on the water. Food was delish .. lamb chops were bomb, tasty salads, and pastas. Separate serious whiskey menu and good Turkish wines. Awesome service! We got a table later in the evening so we can catch DJs as they transition to livelier music. Great experience.

Went to the terrace cafe restaurant and asked for table in the sun. The female manager was very rude and pretentious and gave others a better table with a view. Told us they were reserved but it was obvious they she gave them to the elite class. She said she would move us if a table became available. She put us in a dark corner and totally forgot about us. Won’t go there again. Wouldn’t recommend unless you look like someone with lots of money as you need this if you want to be treated with decency.

I had a confirmed reservation at Bebek Hotel by The Stay, guaranteed with my credit card. I even called two days before arrival to inform them I’d be checking in early, and everything seemed in order. Less than 24 hours before check-in, I received a sudden cancellation email and a refund — no explanation, no apology, no attempt to assist. I spent nearly an hour trying to reach someone by phone. When reception finally answered, they said they “couldn’t help” and that the reservations team was unavailable and unwilling to speak with me. No one ever called back. No one replied to my emails. This hotel operates with complete impunity and disregard for its guests. Their behavior was arrogant, unprofessional, and completely unacceptable — especially from a property that charges a premium and positions itself as a luxury destination. A last-minute cancellation without cause, zero accountability, and no willingness to even speak to the guest? Absolutely disgraceful. Avoid this place — you’re paying luxury prices, but getting treated with total indifference. Book elsewhere.
