Kilim Hotel

The Kilim Hotel has a relaxed, tranquil feel near the river, and it’s a lovely small hotel with personal touches in the rooms and throughout. Those details made it stand out from many other places. Dalyan is somewhere we always enjoy seeing again when we visit Turkey. We had a great week there last year, and Becky and Emrah have created something to be proud of. We first went on a recommendation and are so glad we found this gem. It feels like a home from home, and both the hotel and resort are ideal for a relaxing holiday.

The pool and bar area are fantastic. It’s a beautiful family-run hotel, with spacious, clean rooms and a cool feel, thanks to the thoughtful decor and furnishings.

The owners are so nice, and the pool is surrounded by greenery that feels really peaceful. The rooms are comfortable too. We’ve stayed here twice already and are planning to come back.

The rooms are simple, spotless, and just right. There’s no TV, but plenty of WiFi points if you want to keep in touch with home. The Kilim sits just outside Dalyan’s local centre, so it’s a quiet spot outside the summer holidays. Rebecca & Emra are calm, professional hosts. They’re attentive while keeping things discreet, and you can have more or less interaction depending on what you prefer. The food is spot on if you want to get a feel for Turkish culture, though burgers and shakes are available too. The hotel team can also arrange trips, restaurants, or Maria and her massages. If you’re trying to get away from the rat race, The Kilim feels like a little slice of heaven. The owners love music, so if you play, you might feel right at home at a cool jam session.
