Reviews of Patio Hotel, Dalyan

What makes a great holiday? The people do it for me and at The Patio Hotel they are just fab. OK, so the rooms are a little basic, but they are scrupulously clean and everything you need is there, except perhaps a chest of drawers. The pool is clean and safe, hotel staff are friendly and helpful and the restaurant gents are wonderful. The food is excellent, service is always prompt and as you know, it's the little things that matter so much and which JJ, Jimi and Freddie get right every time. The chef is a key player here, and his food is so, so good.



Going back? Course I am, how could I not!

What more could you ask for from a reasonably priced hotel? Sure, the rooms are basic, but not nearly like what has reviously been described! Shower/ toilet area was fully tiled and our room was clean, but with no facilities for tea, etc. (Don't expect sky tv either!) The air conditioning is payable locally at £5/night. The pool was a reasonable size and kept clean.

The hotel itself is ideally situated within 2 minutes' walk of the river, where you can book excursions. The food was reasonably good. (We had Turkish Breakfast included in our stay), otherwise we ate out in town, or by the river.

For a break to Turkey for under £250 for the week I wasn't expecting much, but the staff were helpful. We had a comfortable, reasonably priced stay for an incredible holiday!

The patio hotel staff were very wellcoming,and iwas introducer to them all,the rooms are very basic but clean,and the beds and towels are changed every other day.

Iupgraded to half board on arrivel (cheeper than booking in u.k.)and although it is a

limited menu Ienjoyed every meal,and if Iwanted anything else I had alacarte,JJthe head waiter was very attentive but not intrusive,and being a pensioner traveling on my own this is important.



Ninety% of all the food served in the hotel is organic and home grown.



This was a very pleasant holiday,and I hope to go agian next year.

This hotel is HORRENDOUS. Do not stay here, if you have booked, i strongly advise you to cancel and find another hotel. We had to spend a night here after an excursion from Olu Deniz, the day trip was great, visited turtle beach, the tombs and mud baths, great fun, then told we would be staying in a basic, but very clean hotel, which suited my boyfriend and i fine. We are students and used to basic rooms and hostels so we didnt think twice.

After arriving at the hotel, we were so dissappointed. They hadnt a room for us in the main hotel, so they put us in an apartment in the staff quarters, which was absolutely filthy. Cig buts everywhere, a dirty toilet, huge bugs, earwigs, wasps, mites, filthy floors, hair covering the plug hole and an awful stench which i can only describe as a mix of urine and rot. The worst hotel we have ever been in. We were not the only ones to complain. After we refused to sleep in our room, we were left in the reception while the nstaff and managers went to bed, 5 mins later, 3 girls joined us, they also refused to sleep in their room. Furthmore, a couple went down the road to stay in another hotel, saying their room was filthy and their sheets where dirty.

Unhelpful staff, horrendous food (our dinner was included in the excursion), not even sure what meat it was! The whole hotel was filthy, it smelt like it hadnt been cleaned in weeks.

Would rather not go on holiday than stay in this hole!

I promise you, avoid this place like the plague! you will probally catch it in Hotel Patio!

If you want family friendly then this is the place to come!



The rooms are basic, but to be honest you don't want or need to spend time in your room!



A great family who make you feel very welcome and are really great with children!



I found if you ate at the restaurant and found there was nothing you fancied on the menu they would make you something without questions, and their home baked oven 'bread' was to die for!



The owners and staff always welcomed you and would recommend places to visit, organising a boat trip with a local boat owner!



Also for a fee (less than the cost of a taxi) they will take you to the airport, that's service for you!



I will defiantly be going back there one day as soon as i get the chance!

As a family we went to Dalyan in Turkey. This particular region of Turkey is stunningly beautiful. However, the hotel was horrendous.



We were charged an extremely high rate for the air con and safety deposit box and the health and safety was absolutely appalling. They constantly cleaned the restaurant area and steps with water and left to dry without any warning or notice. It was very dangerous for young and old alike.



Although we were on a half board basis, at no time we were given a menu which outlined what we could/could not have. We were charged three times as much for a bottle of water, which for 25 lire you could obtain at a shop next door.



However, we were told that we were not allowed to bring water into the hotel. This proved very difficult at times due to the outstanding heat wave. You constantly felt like you were being watched and after two attempts at an incorrect bill, we stopped leaving tips which resulted in a fairly cold response from the hotel owner.



As a resident of the hotel, you felt an obligation to eat in the hotel, and felt awkward and ill at ease if you went elsewhere.



The pool was a safety hazard, which proved to be very slippery.

This was meant to be a quick week in the sun. Had booked the day before travelling and was allocated on arrival. I didn’t know what to expect!



Needn’t have worried as all staff and management were very friendly and helpful to the extent of being taken for a Turkish bath, shave and even to the airport on the day of departure.



Food was great swimming pool was all to myself! Overall a lovely stay and I will be taking my children back in 4 weeks time.

My family (2 adults, 2 children) stayed here for 2 weeks in August 2006 and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.



The staff that run the hotel were awesome! Really friendly and approachable and they made you feel a part of their family. We even had daily Turkish lessons at Breakfast and dinner!



The rooms are spartan and slightly run down however they are still functional and clean.



Definitely get air conditioning otherwise the rooms quickly turn in to ovens. It’s up to you whether you feel you need to also get a safe deposit box but we didn’t and in two weeks nothing went missing! In fact, Turkey is probably the safest country we have ever visited!



The swimming pool is fantastic! Nearly 6 feet deep...at the shallow end! Although you do need to get there early as the Dutch and the British seem to get down before 8am to lay their towels out over the deck chairs. Very annoying!



The food in the restaurant is wonderful as well. Everything is cooked to perfection. Although breakfast was fairly mundane it was still very nice with Turkish honey and bread being the staple of this meal! The honey in particular was absolutely divine!



Over all we loved our stay in the hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful and the rooms clean. As long as you don’t arrive expecting 5 star European resort quality accommodations you won’t be disappointed.
