Portakal Hotel Dalyan in Dalyan

Lovely hotel, made special by the great staff. Nothing is too much trouble for them and they go above and beyond to ensure you're happy and comfortable. Reception guys are brilliant as is Rams on the bar and Mahmood at breakfast. There's a big selection at breakfast and the cook does a fantastic job. The rooms are cleaned daily and are spacious and have a large bathroom. Only thing we would have liked is somewhere to get a good snack early evening and sit with a good coffee. Everywhere seems to install press and go coffee machines which never taste great. It's not far into town though, about a 10 to 15 minute walk. It felt very homely for a hotel so we'd definitely come here again. The pool in April is too cold to use but would be great any other time of year.

A wonderful hotel. Having never been to Dalyan before and seeing the reviews for this hotel we definitely made the right choice. Rooms beautifully clean and nicely decorated, loved the Turkish lamps was a nice touch. Everything you need in the room too. We particularly liked to go in the gardens looking out to the river so relaxing and peaceful. Pool and bar area also clean and inviting. Breakfast delicious and plentiful, beds were comfy, good showers too with plenty of hot water. Was a nice calm and quiet hotel and staff were all lovely too, if you needed anything or wanted information.you just had to ask. Hotel position was great, not too far to the restaurants and main shops and boat trips. Recommend the car ferry over which is right beside the hotel to see the ruins and tombs. Would throughly recommend this hotel. It was nice that the owner was there to see us off too. Hope to visit again.

Wonderful, cozy hotel! Friendly staff. You can book a transfer from/to the airport for 35 euros, which is very reasonable; I've seen Uber rates even higher. Just contact the hotel in advance to arrange a transfer. As you leave the hotel, turn left toward the river and you'll find a boat station and ferry. You can cross to the other bank, stroll around, see the ruins of an ancient city, and buy pomegranate sauce from a local grandmother.

We booked this hotel based on the five star reviews and we wern't disappointed, as I agree with the majority of the reviews. I could easily award 10 stars to the reception staff Eyup and Ercam, the friendliest staff ever, they always referred to us by our names and nothing was too much trouble for them. They were so nice, I gave them both a gift of chocolate. Our room was also lovely, A22, facing the pool and had all the amenities we needed. We were thankful of previous reviews that highlighted the need to bring own tea and coffee which we did. Location nice and quiet, only 10 minute walk to some of the best restaurants we found, especially Lime restaurant and the Limon Tree, our two best meals by far. Pool was large, but absolutely freezing and too deep for me to stand, as I'm only 5ft 1. The only reason I've not given five stars is that I wasn't keen on the breakfast, albeit, plenty of fruit, which was good and so was the tea urn and coffees, but the hot food was a bit of a let down, I. E., no sliced bread for toast, it was just small pieces of French baguettes. (just my personal opinion) Pool area, there were plenty of sunbeds but they are too packed close together. The pool umbrellas are huge so if someone next to you had theirs up, it blocked out the sun for us, who dont like the shade. Music around the pool area was either great or monotonous, guests asked for the music to be changed on one day, as it was like being on hold at a call centre. Rooms were cleaned daily and maids were super friendly. We saw the female owner daily, and maybe I expected too much having read how friendly she was, as I didn't see her interact with any of guests until the final day and she came to say goodbye as we're getting on the coach, she gave us a hug, which was so nice, so maybe it was just a language barrier. Hotel location is right beside the ferry port, so super convenient, albeit a bit noisy when sunbathing and I could smell diesel fumes on occasion. Overall though, there were more positives than negatives and Eyup and Ercam are definitely the reason why I'd return.

Very good

The hotel is located on the river bank, it is convenient to rent a boat for a trip to turtle beach and the ferry. You have to look for parking nearby. And we had to wait a little, although we arrived a couple of hours later than the agreed upon 14-00
The hotel is very beautiful, stylish and well maintained.
There were problems with water, they were quickly resolved.
Nice pool and good breakfast. We were very pleased!!
