Tourist Hotel Antalya

The reason for me writing this review is to help anyone wanting to book to help them prevent themselves from being disappointed like us. DO NOT go by the photos online as they were most likely take when the hotel opened. At arrival the staff at reception was fantastic but the the disappointment started, got to the lift and it was filthy, the stair were just as dirty. The windows outside the room I doubt have been cleaned in years, then comes the best part the room. Was tidy but very grubby looking and much smaller than on the photo, one corner of the room had damage from day which was awful, no fridge, no lamp, no dim light, the curtains don't closes fully and there are literally other buildings that can see into your room. We didn't receive the standard water, coffee, cups on our table till the next day. Had just got to bed and managed to to my phone on charge and there was a power cut which lasted nearly 4 hours. Pitch black no lift working, phone battery low so how do you use your torch, no air con so how do you sleep in the heat. Went down to reception no apologies it was more the attitude of what am I meant to do. The pool is way way smaller than shown in the photos and not so clean. The upside of the hotel is the breakfast spread is pretty decent and they had a couple of different options per day but the staff are miserable, asking for a fried egg was like asking for them to work, as you can see in the photo behind the cereal bowls the walls are grubby. They had no loo roll in the dining are bathroom and both the ladies were out of use. Then to top it off they had a Dog walking around inside the dining room like he owned the place and the staff were patting it while in service. The location is near a beautiful stretch of beach maby a 8-10 minutes walk where you can eat dinner next to the sea. However its about a 350 lira taxi trip away from the old town kelechi which is were all the fun, shops, markets, marina, restraunts, night life are. The amount we spent on taxis we could have stayed in a nicer hotel. The sea view they say is a joke because all you see is blue sky and some water past the rooftops of other flats. Overall I was ready to leave after day one but as my trip was only for 3 days we stayed out everyday till late and only came to sleep some didn't have to look at the room.

It was a disappointing experience considering the price. The bed was extremely uncomfortable, and the restaurant was located separately from the hotel. Additionally, the restaurant had limited options with only three choices in the menu available, and the staff there were unfriendly and hostile. They lacked professionalism entirely. Although the hotel had a private beach, it was quite far from the main hotel building, requiring a 10-minute walk. Furthermore, there were no attractions or points of interest in the vicinity of the hotel. The see view is so ugly from the hotel.
