The Elixir Boutique Hotel

This hotel claims to be 4*, but it simply isn't.
Its located a steep walk from the centre, the rooms are small, there are holes in the doors so people can see into your room, the tv and fridge didn't work. Noise from the hotel bar regularly disturbed us past 2am every night.
Breakfast is a service tragedy.
But all of that could possibly be overlooked if it weren't for the outrageously rude management. They appear pleasant enough, but its just a facade if you do not choose to spend money in the hotel. In this case you can expect an uncomfortable stay. In our case we were publicly scolded infront of other guests for having the cheek to bring a bottle of water back to the hotel (our fridge didnt work !). My girlfriend was reduced to tears.
Overall - definitely go somewhere else.

Kalkan is a lovely place to visit. We come every year (My hubby and I). Last year we had a memorable holiday at the Samira Hotel in town, and whilst out exploring, thought the Elixir Hotel would be a nice change. What a disaster. The rooms are small (Deluxe ones are a joke). The TV didnt work, and when we requested another room (ours was beside a very noisy family) they did nothing to accommodate us and the TV remained unusable throughout the trip. They also continually tried to 'flog' drinks at the bar, and when you didnt buy, stopped trying to be helpful.
We checked out their sister restaurant, "the Trading House"- again, worst possible service in Kalkan- and you dont get bad service in Kalkan!!! Our dinner took over 1 hour to arrive- and the steak that hubby ordered was overcooked.
The only positive thing i have to say about our stay is that the staff who work in the hotel (cleaners and barman) are very friendly. The owner, at reception was frosty, unreceptive and unhelpful when we were asking for holiday travel advice.
