Saye Konak Kaleiçi&Oldtown

The two-bedroom apartment with a sea view is lovely and great value. Just keep in mind it’s in a separate building, three blocks from the hotel, opposite Yemenli Meyhanesi, where live music plays loudly until 11 pm each night. If you turn in early, you may want a room in the hotel itself. The hotel is on a quiet street, and the staff are helpful and friendly.

The restaurant had a relaxed vibe and really good food. Our room was clean and the hotel felt quiet, warm, and homey, though the deluxe room was cramped for two. I’d choose a different room type if you’re sharing. Turkan at reception looked after us so well and made our honeymoon memorable. Big thanks to her!

The room looked nicely decorated, but the view was of the hotel’s own restaurant, not a garden as advertised. That made the price feel inflated. With the only window facing the restaurant and people constantly passing by, we couldn’t really open it, and the room had a strong moldy smell. We asked the front desk to move us and were told to wait while they checked availability. An hour later, the staff member we’d messaged was just standing there and nothing had been done. He acted like we were causing trouble and brushed off the request, saying the smell was room fragrance. It smelled awful. For a highly rated hotel, the room and service were nowhere near what we expected.

Kaleiçi was my favorite part of Antalya to stay in, and this boutique hotel is right in the heart of it. The property is well kept, and the rooms are attractive and comfortable. The staff were lovely and went out of their way to help. We had a fantastic stay and would gladly come back. Definitely recommend it.
