Finding a bed for the night is generally no problem in Turkey , except in high season at the busier coastal resorts and larger towns. Lists of category-rated hotels, motels and the better pansiyons are published local tourist offices , and we have listed the best options throughout the Guide , although in practice where you end up can often be luck of the draw and which tout , if any , you decide to follow.

If you take your chances with a tout rather than our recommendations ,note that certain outfits particularly in Istanbul , Kusadasi , Selcuk , Antalya , Kas and Cappadocia , have generated serious complaints from ex-clients , ranging from dangerous plumbing to extortion and false imprisonment . If , on the other hand , you like where you have stayed , you may very well find that your accommodation proprietor keeps business cards on hand for similar establishments in other towns often they have visited each other or have some idea of whats on offer . This informal network can work very well indeed , with proprietors making a simple phone call to arrange both a stay and a retrieval from the otogar for you at your destination.

Prices while cheap by most Western European standards , are no longer rock-bottom , and can be downright exorbitant in Istanbul . To some extent facilities have improved correspondingly , though not surprisingly you often get less for your money in the big tourist meccas , ant little choice between fleapits or four-star luxury in relatively untouristed town of the interior.

Singles generally go for just over half the price of a double , since proprietors are well used to lone business travellers. Rooms with en suite bath are generally about twenty-five percent ally available, costing about thirty percent more than a double. Rates quoted should be discreetly compared to those posted over the reception desk. which show the maximum permissible prices.
