Hotel Lykia Old Town

Just returned home having spent a week at the hotel. The hotel is in the middle of the old town so an amazing location for food, drinks, bars and importantly short bus rides to the various beach resorts in Antalya. It is also 25 minutes from the airport. Firstly the staff are absolutely superb each and every member. If you want a fresh coffee at any point they are always happy to prepare this for you. Their homemade lemonade is delicious too although this does incur additional charges. For breakfast, they are happy to prepare eggs whichever way you like. You also have a choice of drinks, Turkish coffee and tea. There is also a choice of cereals and cakes. First few days were great but as with anything, having the same limited choice for a week does become a bit monotonous but I do think we stayed longer than most people do. The room we stayed in had excellent air conditioning, was cleaned superbly. The power shower just brilliant. Didn't go to Turkey to watch tv but flicking through there are no English film channels just bbc and sky news. German and Russian channels dominate. The only real downside, the windows do not provide any sound proofing at all - even fully closed, you are exposed to any noise from people walking past, dogs barking and next door neighbours who decide to have a get together on the street at 1am etc etc The hotel has its own swimming pool which has some shade if you take a dip late afternoon. The swimming pool area sits right at the back of a club and in the evening you can hear the music and singers until midnight. All in all a super hotel although in hindsight I would only have stayed a maximum of three nights here and moved closer to the beach for the remainder.

Location is perfect! Right in the middle of the restaurant street and walking distance from the beach, main historic sites, and the main street outside of the old souk. The staff is so hospitable and attentive. They made us feel so special with their service and smiles. Upon arriving, they greeted us with fresh lemonade, and before leaving, they parted us with an artisanal soap as a souvenir. They were all so nice and friendly! We were intentionally avoiding big chain, all inclusive hotels, and we wanted something more intimate in the middle of the old city with an authentic feel. This place is exactly that! And did I say how great the staff is? Truly an unforgettable experience! I will recommend it to all my friends!
