I carried out extensive research before booking this hotel as I was travelling solo to Dalyan for the first time, and from the reviews I read, this hotel ticked all the boxes of my criteria. It is fairly small, which I like, but very friendly, and situated in a very picturesque location, which was at least for me a mere 8 minute flat walk into town. The rooms are cosy and attractive, with plenty of strategically placed sockets, a fridge and kettle. The shower room is attractive and the actual shower very efficient. The whole hotel is incredibly clean and well maintained, with staff working constantly to upkeep the high standards. Without doubt, the staff are its greatest asset, from the warmest of greetings you get from the wonderful Eyup and Ibrahim on reception, to the daily hugs from the cleaners and everyone in the catering and bar areas. I felt extremely safe and respected as a solo lady guest and would not hesitate to stay at the hotel again. As mentioned previously by other guests, I would recommend bringing a few hangers as there are only a few in the wardrobes. The only negative I could think of is the lack of balconies should this be a deal breaker for anyone. Life is full of compromises though and for me this was something I was prepared to forego to enjoy all the advantages of this lovely hotel. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

“Great hotel made brilliant by special staff”

Lovely hotel, made special by the great staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they go above and beyond to ensure you're happy and comfortable.

Lovely hotel, made special by the great staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they go above and beyond to ensure you're happy and comfortable. Reception guys are brilliant as is Rams on the bar and Mahmood at breakfast. There's a big selection at breakfast and the cook does a fantastic job. The rooms are cleaned daily and are spacious and have a large bathroom. Only thing we would have liked is somewhere to get a good snack early evening and sit with a good coffee. Everywhere seems to install press and go coffee machines which never taste great. It's not far into town though, about a 10 to 15 minute walk. It felt very homely for a hotel so we'd definitely come here again. The pool in April is too cold to use but would be great any other time of year.

A wonderful hotel. Having never been to Dalyan before and seeing the reviews for this hotel we definitely made the right choice. Rooms beautifully clean and nicely decorated, loved the Turkish lamps was a nice touch. Everything you need in the room too. We particularly liked to go in the gardens looking out to the river so relaxing and peaceful. Pool and bar area also clean and inviting. Breakfast delicious and plentiful, beds were comfy, good showers too with plenty of hot water. Was a nice calm and quiet hotel and staff were all lovely too, if you needed anything or wanted information.you just had to ask. Hotel position was great, not too far to the restaurants and main shops and boat trips. Recommend the car ferry over which is right beside the hotel to see the ruins and tombs. Would throughly recommend this hotel. It was nice that the owner was there to see us off too. Hope to visit again.

Stayed in this hotel because of the reviews on trip advisor . When we arrived at the hotel at night we found the receptionist very friendly and he showed us around the hotel and to our room . Booked as people had mentioned how comfortable the bed was , not for us unfortunately they were rock hard , we asked for a mattress topper or if there was alternatives mattress, they brought us what they called a mattress topper but unfortunately it was a fitted mattress protector. Also the bathroom was quite dirty and the shower was mouldy . Next the staff we’re mentioned as being friend to each morning at breakfast what I presume was the owners were having there breakfast each morning , I smiled and said good morning but I found them both miserable and unwelcoming. The bar man one day I went to order a drink and he couldn’t even be bothered to get off the stool he was on , I asked for a cocktail menu to be told I couldn’t order one until after 3 which I found odd , the next day I tried again to be told the bar man couldn’t make cocktails . Loved Dalyan and we are going back but are trying a different hotel this time . The only time we found the owner to be happy was when we were leaving , he actually helped with our cases .
