Anelli Hotel

Hotel was very good and provided a very enjoyable stay. Here are some of the pros and cons. Pros: The hotel lobby is very sleek and has a modern aesthetic to it. Receptionists are hospitable. The rooms themselves, depending on which you pick, are very spacious. The beds are comfortable and sheets can be changed on request. The air conditioning in the room is simply excellent and provides a very cool breeze which is needed in an especially Antalya's especially hot climate. The hotel provides a good selection of breakfast options though it does repeat itself on occasion. The room service was excellent, cannot say enough about the cleaner. Plenty of local restaurants and street food vendors a couple of minutes away. Cons: Some things in the room do fall off or come apart, for example a towel rack in the bathroom. The majority of the hotel staff do not speak English, however, this cannot be attributed just to the hotel itself as most natives in the city do not speak English and it is quite hard to make conversation. The hotel's location does prove to be a difficulty as it's some ways away from the city centre and any currency exchange kiosks though this can be solved by using the nearby ATMs.

Comprehensive review: I stayed here for 6 nights and I had a very relaxing time. We came to the hotel at midnight and we were given a room within about 10 minutes of checking in. Our room was upgraded for free too. Lobby: The lobby of the hotel was modern and clean with plenty of seats. Considering how hot it was outside, the Air conditioning was also a very ‘cool’ touch. You could honestly chill there for a few hours given the heat outside. The receptionists were helpful and gave us information, however, they didn’t really give us much information when we were trying to find taxis. We had to do this ourselves and ended up using Uber every day as it’s much better. Rooms: Size: Upon entering the rooms, we were quite happy with the size. We had the deluxe, suite and double room booked. All were adequately sized. I’d say the Deluxe room is the biggest, with two storage closets whilst the double room only had 1. The Suite room has 2 storage closets. Each room has a chest draw too for your clothes. The bathroom had a towel rack which fell off on the first day of our stay, so we couldn’t hang our towels anymore. Though this isn’t a big hinderance, I will be taking off 1 star for this. Fridge/Complementaries What we were really appreciative of was the complimentary bottles of water given; this was replenished each time our room was cleaned and the cleaner would leave it inside the fridge. Yes, you also get a fridge! I loved coming back to my hotel room and opening a cold bottle of water quenching my thirst. Cleanliness: The rooms were very clean. I believe the hotel was only made a few years back, so it was kept up to standard. The sheets were clean, however, I did notice a few small marks on the white sheets. It didn’t bother me too much as they were very small. Each bathroom is fitted with a bidet; as muslims, this is essential for us as we like to keep clean. + points for this. A/C: Each room is fitted with air conditioning which is a must..considering that it can rich 40 degrees celsius in the summer! I loved coming back to a cooool room! Location: We did our research before coming here and knew that the city centre wasn’t very close..however, that being said, it isn’t far away at all. It’s a 120-160TL ride, which converts to about £4-5 taxi ride (one way 15minute journey). The hotel itself is situated next to a gym (less than 1 minute) and *plenty* of restaurants. KFC, popeyes, traditional, wrap places…everything. The restaurants are priced extremely well for foreigners who come from countries with strong currencies. Depending on the room you get, you can also have a mountain view room. We were fortunate to have a room that overlooked the mountains. It was amazing to wake up to this daily. They were in the distance, but you can clearly see them. Breakfast: I really enjoyed the breakfast here. There was something different everyday. Some of the food items included: sausages in tomato sauce, scrambled eggs, fresh warm bread rolls, menemen (scrambled eggs in tomato and spices), different types of cheeses, salami, espresso machine, juice machine (very sugary), boiled eggs, fried salami, cereal. Breakfast is from 7.30am to 10:00am, so very reasonable times! It’s a buffet, so you can eat as much as you want. TV: All rooms come with a TV, however, they only have 1 or 2 english channels which are news channels. We tried connecting our fire stick but there was no sound output. Also, the double room we booked had the TV in such an awkward position, it was basically impossible to view the TV. It was place right at the top next to the ceiling. Tips: - Use Uber - cheaper and convenient. - Buy an E-Sim from the app ‘Airalo’. Impossible to find cheap data only sims in Antalya. - ATM’s are a few minutes walk from hotel. Make sure to select ‘Without DCC’ option. Withdraw from Ziraat Bank.
