I booked two rooms from February 17th to February 20th. I was fooled by the pictures; it was terrible, absolutely awful. We went back to another hotel. The carpets were dirty, there was no Turkish bath, the rooms were awful. I think I only stayed here to use that tiny thermal pool. They didn't even give back the 3600 TL deposit. Shame on those who sold it to us, and how I was fooled. It's really terrible; you wouldn't even put your bag down.

Don't come here. I even forfeited my deposit; we ran away without looking back. Make sure you go and see for yourselves before you stay. The rooms are terrible; the sheets, bathrobes, and bathroom are filthy. And whatever you do, don't pay any deposits to the agents who ask for them. You'll just be wasting your money.

I've never seen such a filthy, old, and disgusting place. I was forced to stay there just because I paid 6,000 TL. I asked for a refund, but they wouldn't give it to me. Absolutely do not stay there; I do not recommend it at all. There was another elderly woman's white hair on the bed, clinging to my navy blue sweatpants. Anyone with sense shouldn't come here. There are brand new rooms available for half the price in the surrounding area.

A lovely family-run business; we only stayed overnight. The rooms were clean, the hot water was excellent, and the surroundings were clean. It's suitable for a short stay, easily accessible, close to Pamukkale, with beautiful thermal waters. You can visit the surrounding villages. It's close to Denizli city center.

The rooms come with a tub and thermal water. We tried filling up the tub but the water kept escaping. When it was finally full, we had to wait for it to cool and by the time it did there was no water left. Was disappointed by this experience.

We stayed in room 207. There are 1 double and 2 single beds in the room. The hotel is a very old hotel. The location isn't bad. It is in a side street at the entrance of karahayıt in a partially quiet and calm place. Only the bathrooms are newly renovated. Rooms need renovation. Staff are friendly helpful. Dinner and lunch soups are good. However, the breakfast is below average. Cheese bread olives tomatoes cucumber tea watermelon. Don't expect anything special or hot. Thermal pools are very old and neglected. The environment is very bad. You can't get inside. The swimming pool starts from 1.40 and increases in depth towards 1.70. The swimming pool is cleaned regularly. Garden design is bad. They serve breakfast in the morning (open buffet cheese, olives, tomatoes, watermelon...) + soup at noon (only one bowl) + dinner set menu in the evening (soup, salad, cold starter, main course and dessert/fruit). Fatih Bey is very helpful in food services and almost everything. His cooks are also successful. The lunch soup and the soup in the evening set menu are different. Tea and Water are only available during breakfast and dinner. You can't find tea and water at any other time, they don't serve it. There is an old aunt who warns that the children are making noise in the pool. So in short. It deserves 3 stars because of the friendly helpfulness of the staff, the swimming pool, the lunch soup and the good dinner. Will I come again? Since it is much closer to my residence than Antalya and Muğla and partially cheaper, it may be a 2-3 night stay. I say read carefully what I wrote and set your expectations accordingly.

The hotel is old and the beds are also old. The cafe section is very weak. They also do not accept food being brought from outside. There is a thermal bath in the bathrooms, this side is beautiful. Other details, unfortunately, are just an ordinary hotel...

I stayed with my sister for 3 nights and we had an incredible rest. We would like to thank the hotel staff for their help as we are unfamiliar with both Denizli and the thermal baths. We are especially grateful to Fatih for his kindness and professionalism.
The rooms were clean, especially the bathroom and the thermal water bath were great, the food was delicious and sufficient. We thank you. We plan to stay at the hotel for a longer stay as soon as possible.

Warm and kind hotel staffs and owners.

Really good location and nice thermal pools with good temperature and quality.

Everyday I’m enjoying home made Traditional Turkish food.

It’s a great hotel.
