Gül Otel

The breakfast was a highlight for me: fresh bread, eggs, vegetables, cheese, and fruit, the Turkish spread I love, though there wasn't much meat. The staff and receptionists were the most down-to-earth people I met in Antalya, and they made me feel welcome and comfortable without trying to scam me or sell me something wildly overpriced. My room was clean and the AC worked well, but being on the main road meant some noise. The bathroom handle was coming loose, and the balcony railing felt loose too. There was no soundproofing, though nights were quiet, and the pool area was peaceful. Between 11am and 2pm, cleaners played music on their phones right outside my door while I was trying to meditate and relax, which was distracting. It’s a decent place if you’re avoiding the very expensive tourist spots, but there weren’t nearby food options beyond high-end restaurants, so expect meals to cost 20€, yes, in Turkey.
