I am sorry to report that our stay at the Kelebek Pension was our most negative experience of of trip to Turkey. I must begin by saying that the owner/host had recently been injured and this certainly effected the experience. That being said, our room was not as reserved. We had reserved a double room with one bed but found instead a room with two twin beds. When we pointed this out the host, who was surly at best, told us to push the beds together which we found unacceptable. He then offered another room with a double bed but without private bathroom or air conditioning. He brushed aside our concern say that no one else had ever complained about having to push the beds together. He let us know that, due to his injury, he would be unable to provide breakfast as promised but instead reduced the price of the room. We asked if he had a local map and he said no. The pension is located some distance from the main downtown up very narrow, winding and dead end streets. Without a map we became lost climbing back to the pension and only found our way back with the help of a kindly local construction worker. The host was less than honest with us about several issues and was never helpful. After two days we moved out to a much nicer hotel, right on the wate,r at a rate better than Kelebek offered. We felt sorry about his injury and were more than happy to modify plans to accommodate him but his injury was no excuse for his attitude and actions. I would not recommend Kelebek Pension to anyone.

Wir hatten das schönste Zimmer des Hauses in der oberen Etage, mit Zugang zur Terrasse: Wunderbar entspannend mit herrlicher Aussicht auf die Stadt und die Bucht von Ayvalik. Schöner geht's in Ayvalik kaum...
Unsere Gastgeber waren reizend, standen mit Rat und Tat stets zur Seite. Das Frühstück war familiär. Wie (ein) Zuhause.

We were very pleased with the service and the warm welcoming we received from the owners of the pension. All the rooms we saw looked nice and welcoming and with nice personal touches. We stayed for 4 nights and would recommend this pension.

It is an spacial place, with a cozy and favorable reception. The owner shows you the best options in town and everything looks easy. But: it is not easy to find; a map o previous call is needed; not all rooms have AC and private WC.

Die Kelebek-Pension ist nett gelegen nahe dem Zentrum von Ayvalik, einfach, aber nett geführte Pension für einen Kurzurlaub, aber leider nicht für Familie mit Kleinkindern oder gehbehinderte Gäste geeignet.

Nous avons été très bien reçu et très bien conseillés, ce qui a rendu notre séjour très agréable. Quelques petits plus à envisager peut-être : de l'air conditionné et (mais c'est vraiment un détail) des fruits et des yaourts au petits-déjeuner. Mais la gentillesse de Mustapha et son épouse ont su pallier à ces petits manques. Nous en profitons pour leur adresser toutes nos amitiés.

The old part of Ayvalik, where the Kelebek Pension is located, is a charming area with litte cobbled streets and alleys. To the town center and the seaside it takes only about 5-10 Minutes to walk.

The Kelebek Pension has a nice terrace with a good view. The couple running the place are really friendly and willing to help.
