Following my previous review exposing this fraudulent hotel, here's another point: there's a mosque right next to the hotel, and the call to prayer starts promptly at 6 AM every morning, very loudly. If you're not an early riser, be warned! The owner is particularly unfriendly towards Chinese guests, so please avoid this place. All my reviews are completely truthful. During the 2026 Chinese New Year, I traveled to Turkey with my mother and child. After checking online reviews (which might have been fabricated by her), I booked two rooms for two nights at this hotel in the old city. Antalya in winter is off-peak season, and her prices were normal. The 'front desk' was just a table, and the owner claimed someone would be there 24/7 for any issues. However, when we returned after dinner to rest, we found the toilet was broken, the showerhead holder was broken, the shower diverter was broken, and the bathroom doorknob was also broken. The room itself was tiny; once the suitcase was open, there was no space to walk. We went to the front desk, but no one was there. A man came out, took a look, and said there was nothing he could do until the next day. I contacted Ctrip customer service, and I must commend them for their quick response. They immediately called the hotel, but the same man answered. He told me to talk to the owner directly on the phone. The owner played dumb, claiming she couldn't understand me and that there were no empty rooms to switch to that night. Since it was very late and we were exhausted, I decided to try and sleep, only to find the smoke detector on the ceiling flashing a green light, which was incredibly bright and disruptive in the dark. I endured until the next morning and confronted the owner. She was incredibly arrogant, shrugging and playing dumb. After I insisted, she offered to switch us to a 'suite,' which turned out to be a room on the ground floor directly facing the public restroom, with only one dark, tiny window. It was dark and smelly. I immediately refused. She then told me if I didn't like her hotel, I could leave, and she would only refund me for the second night, claiming that even though the facilities were undeniably broken for the first night, I had still used them. I didn't want to waste any more time with her, so I packed our bags and moved to another hotel with my mother and child. Finally, Ctrip provided some compensation, so kudos to Ctrip.

The environment is quite clean and the room is also relatively large. Although I didn't buy breakfast, they offer complimentary tea service which is excellent. The front desk staff are very enthusiastic.

You get what you pay for, it's on par with a 100-150 RMB hotel in China, maybe even worse than some 150 RMB ones.

The hotel has a great location, making it very convenient for getting around, yet it's quiet despite being in a bustling area. The rooms are warmly decorated and clean. Enjoy the slow pace of life in Antalya while sitting in the courtyard.

I was absolutely delighted with my stay at this hotel. The location is perfect—it's right in the heart of the old town: all the restaurants, cafes, and attractions are nearby, yet the street itself is very quiet, and the hotel is calm and comfortable. A special thank you to the staff—they are incredibly welcoming, attentive, and sincere. They even congratulated me on my birthday, which was very nice and touching. The rooms are small, but very cozy and well-designed: they have everything you need—high-quality clean linens, toiletries, a hairdryer, a refrigerator, a safe, and hangers. The hotel itself is beautiful and warm, with a special cozy atmosphere. The breakfasts are delicious. I really want to come back. Thank you for your care, comfort, and wonderful experience ❤️

The staff were friendly. The rooms were a bit small, but it's very close to the beach, so it's worth considering.
