After a long drive, the hotel rooms offered good space and amenities like a shower, iron, and tea making facilities. However, the lack of soundproofing made the noise from the parking area disturbing throughout the night.

The hotel is located in the heart of Antalya, making it excellent for our visit. While right in the City Centre and close to various eating spots, the noise from drunk people shouting outside our windows at night was a downside. The lady in her pyjamas at the breakfast bar was a bit unexpected, yet there were plenty of dining choices nearby.

Rooms

7.0

The shower-only bathroom was clean, but the shower room floor needed a good scrub to get rid of limescale. The room had a pull-out couch and a big double bed, which wasn't ideal for young children.

Service

The staff were amazing and very attentive, especially when using the lift to the designated carpark. However, the noise level was a bit bothersome at times.

The self-service dining setup was not immediately clear, but the quality was great, with individually marked calorie items. The availability of great steaks was a plus.

The dining experience catered to various tastes with a self-service buffet style. Facilities were adequate for our needs on this visit.

6.4/10

The hotel had both positive and negative aspects. The rooms were small for the price paid, and the air conditioning was not working well, leading to discomfort and noise issues. However, the big windows, comfortable bed, and pillows were a plus, despite the potential noise from outside. The service was a mix of friendly and rude encounters, with certain staff members standing out negatively. The location was convenient for various city attractions and facilities but lacked some peace due to external noise. The dining experience offered varied dishes, yet there were some missing items on the menu. Overall, the facilities were decent, with a few minor drawbacks.

The hotel offers spacious and clean rooms, ideal for guests with mobility difficulties, though lacking a bathtub. The service is friendly but may require improvement in speed. The location, while convenient for the town center, can be noisy due to drunkards around. Dining options vary in quality, with some positives but room for enhancement. Overall, a good choice for those seeking value for money accommodations.

6.6/10

I was pleasantly surprised by the spacious rooms compared to other local hotels, and they were beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. The price for the night was also very reasonable at £49. On the downside, the room didn't quite match the same standard as the communal areas.
