Saw a 3-star rating - was it out of 20? Needs a lift for tourists bags. Our room was the size of a wardrobe.

The staff were excellent, the breakfast was good, the room was clean. The hotel itself is tired with small rooms but fine for what we needed for one night.

Clean simple room. Close-by street parking. Close walking distance to shops & restaurants. Good breakfast. Wifi weak in the room & even the cellular data is weak in this area. No lift, so beware if you have luggage.

Room was clean, little tiny. Staff friendly and helpful with many recomendations where to visit. Located close to ferry so if you decide to cross to Çanakkale its great option. If you are looking cheap and good place to stay definitely worth it.

A hotel to avoid.
very noisy, very small room.Dangerous electrics in bathroom ,very dated/tired hotel. Needs updating. Receptionists need to go to a charm school. No interaction with guests. Breakfast poor, half of it looked as though it was left over from the previous morning.. 1 electric socket in room with a multiple socket plugged into it. Again dangerous. Would not stay here again. Appalling.

Friendly, clean, centrally located Eceabat hotel.
We stayed at the Crowded House because we were touring the Gallipoli battlefields. The hotel is centrally located, clean with comfy beds and good showers. The breakfast was superb. It was buffet style and there was a large choice of delicious things to eat. The staff there are friendly and helpful and the owner, Polat couldn't do enough to help us with anything we wanted. (He also always made sure there was a parking space for us !) The hotel is centrally located right opposite the ferry to Channakale and there are lots of restaurants and little shops in the vicinity. When staying in Eceabat I wouldn’t stay anywhere else (and I’ll return.) Thank you, Crowded House for a wonderful stay.

We were impressed by the state & comfort of our rooms, the location, & the assistance when needed. Eceabat's honouring to the 1915 battle, & taking a ferry to closeby Canukkale made it a worthwhile stop. Pollard (?)/Paul went the extra for our travel plans, stored our luggage, & allowed us to wait until a midnight bus to leave. The lady making breakfast was lovely also. Cannot say enough about how good our stop was & would welcome a return to the Crowded House.

Comfortable hotel near ANZAC sites
We had two nights at Crowded House which fitted perfectly with our tour of the ANZAC sites. The hotel is comfortable and located just metres off the main square where the buses stop and the ferry to/from Canakkale docks. Pauli and his staff are very welcoming, friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable with basic furnishings. The buffet breakfast is great. Crowded house suited our stay very well, thank you.

Easy, quick visit. Fair price.
Pretty basic hotel, fairly priced and good for one night before or after a Gallipoli tour. Great water pressure, good breakfast. Right by the ferry and bus offices. (Use Metro if heading to Bergama or Selcuk next)

Great hotel for quick stop.
Stayed two nights while checking out the Gallipoli Peninsula. Great location, a 20 minute ferry ride away from Canakkule for a great selection of restaurants, huge selection for breakfast, room was just right for what we needed. There are several restaurants within walking distance also.

Convenient for touring local sites.
Convenient location for exploring nearby sites of Gallipoli (not much to do in the town itself). Staff were helpful in organising a tour for us. Small but comfortable room. Good shower pressure. If you want a decent breakfast, be there first thing as even half an hour into it, there is not much choice. They don't seem to replenish the plates. If you're happy with just cornflakes and scraps then it won't bother you.

The staff were mostly excellent, super helpful with bus transfers and tours. Laundry cost 15TL for a large bag. Wifi connection was ok, but not excellent. Corridors and rooms were stinking hot, but the aircon worked perfect. Overall, very happy with the experience!

Awesome war memorials
Hotel room was small but clean & had air con. Taking our dogs there was no problem & our reception very smoothly handled by a very friendly & polite staff member. Town was a bit grotty but the Gallipoli war memorials absolutely awesome & I'd go back there just for that. Didn't eat at the hotel as it was packed but didn't hear any complaints. Ate at a small Turkish restaurant at the end of the street which was cheap & great quality. I was put off when I first arrived but everything was great.

Arrived at Crowded House to find it in a good location for trips to the battlefields. The staff were very helpful. I was not well and the lady at the reception even came to the pharmacy with me to translate. The beds were very, very comfortable and the rooms clean. Good value for money and friendly helpful staff

Surprisingly good
Make no mistake, this is a low cost hotel but one that provides a really good night's accommodation. We drove ourselves from Istanbul, it is easy to find and parking was no problem at all. Our room was clean, the a/c worked, the window opened (bit too hot and smoky outside though) and the breakfast was more than adequate. Wifi was a bit slow but it worked and there was a bus load of young tourists who were no doubt using it pretty heavily. We had a fantastic grilled fish dinner at their outdoor restaurant. Don't go expecting five star (you certainly aren't paying that) and you'll have a pleasant night's stay.

Crowded House - Needs an attitude refresh
This hotel was perfectly adequate for one night for the family to explore the Gallipoli area. Its in a great position just off the main street so restaurants, supermarket etc are available. The room was clean and comfortable. The only problem we probably had was that although the staff were not awful, it certainly wasn't a welcoming place.

Okay hotel for one night, but very small rooms.
We just needed to stay the night to see Galllipoli the next day. We got in late and the staff helped with our rooms and with parking the car, however, we were awakened the next morning by a phone call from the staff at 7:00 telling us to move the car from the spot he told us to park in! The breakfast was okay, but not great and the rooms were tiny. If you just need a cheap hotel for one night, it is okay and hopefully you want have the same parking problem we did.

This is a very basic hotel but at €23 euro per night that is what I expected. It is in a good location if you are visiting the Gallipoli battlefields etc. wifi was a bit temperamental in certain areas.

Good value in a small town
A good location with friendly staff, in the centre of Eceabit, convenient to local sights. Very easy run from the ferry to the hotel: there is a large sign easily visible. Good area for a walk around at night and plenty of cheap restaurants nearby. Internet could be a bit stronger, but, hey, Eceabit is not downtown Istanbul, but a small town. Much nicer, though, than the large place across the strait.
