Gardenya Lara Suit Hotel

The quiet evenings are a plus, though there's not much right around the hotel beyond a shop and a bar a couple of streets away. A hire car could be handy for a longer stay, and they can arrange one right outside. The beach is about five minutes away by shuttle, and the pool was good too. My ground-floor room was clean, with a kitchen, lounge, bedroom, bathroom and balcony. There was a big fridge with a small freezer, a washing machine and a stove. They can cook pizza in the oven by the pool if you want. WiFi was free and worked well, and the AC was fine with no extra charge. Breakfast was simple but suited me. You can also cook for yourself and eat on the balcony. Maybe they could leave water in the fridge and a few tea and coffee sachets for arrivals. I've stayed twice. I arrived as a guest and left as a friend. For the price, I couldn't fault it. As Arnie said, "I'll be back" lol 😆

The rooms are spacious, and the hotel is close to the airport. It would be better if the air conditioner were moved into the sleeping room. There isn't drinking water provided, but you can buy some at the nearby market instead of purchasing it from the hotel.

The place is quiet, clean and comfortable, and the price is reasonable for what's included. They can arrange car hire and activities, offer a free beach shuttle, and provide airport transfers for a fee. What stood out most during my short stay at Gardenya Lara Suit Hotel in Antalya was how warmly the manager and staff treated me. They were attentive and kind, and made sure I had what I needed. Breakfast was fresh each morning, and the atmosphere felt sincere and friendly. It seems like a place run by people who care about their guests. It would suit solo travelers or families looking for a peaceful stay. A lovely find in Antalya, and I'd happily return and recommend it to visitors.

The manager was rude and didn't make us feel welcome. We stayed for a week, and I wouldn't recommend the hotel to friends or family. Hot water wasn't working in the kitchen or bathroom. We reported it, but nothing was done. The main entrance stays open around the clock, with no security, which felt like a safety concern. Breakfast was the same each morning, and some variety would have been nice. Cleaning wasn't done daily and could have been much better. Staff smoked in the breakfast area, leaving a bad smell and making it feel disrespectful.
