Tolay Hotel

Stopped here this week Sunday to Sunday. The hotel was great for what you paid. The main highlights are how the staff go above and beyond for you. Also the hotel is situated just off the main area of hisaronu which is good for a goodnights sleep. The breakfast option was ideal for us as me and my dad are massive olive eaters and cheese lovers. However, if you wanted a full English this could be catered for as well as snacks until midnight. Really enjoyed my stay and hope to be back in the near future.

We arranged a room for the day of departure from our villa with the owner Tolga , £30 for a room with towels and use of the pool (8 of us used the room for showering ) We ate a tasty and simple lunch and it made the journey home much more enjoyable for us.

Please don't listen to the negative reviews. Yes the hotel is basic but the beds are comfy and the shower worked well. The family are so welcoming, they treated us like friends from day one. The food is delicious and cheap - we ate lunch there 8 out of 10 days. The location of the hotel couldn't be any better - less than a 5 min walk to the main ***** and the old road which has loads of lovely restaurants.

This hotel is definitely on of my favourite hotels that i have been to. Tolga and his family make you feel welcome and part of their family, nothing is too much trouble for them. If you need a taxi Tolga will help you or press the yellow button near the entrance, If you need specific dietary requirements let them know and they will do their very best to accommodate you. We were luck enough to be put in one of the family rooms. These rooms are light and airy and extremely spacious, yes its a pain not having a lift but that would be a little luxury. There is a cake man that comes round regularly with the most delicious cakes. The hotel is close enough to walk up to the ***** or you can rent a mobility scooter from Tolga, but it is far enough away that you don't hear all the music. There is so many restaurants that you could eat some where different every day for 2 weeks and still not have tried them all. Hopefully we will be going again this year in October

If you are looking for 5 star, Tolay probably isn’t the place for you. If you are looking for a warm welcome from a family run hotel who will always go the extra mile then look no further. Tolga and the team are so helpful and nothing is too much trouble. Big shout out to Kamil who kept us laughing for the full fortnight (chop chop, snow coming!). Had a brilliant family stay and would definitely go back. Fantastic holiday.

This hotel relies on returning guests, who just like to drink, meet friends, the owner only makes conversation with people who are returning guests, or to take money for bar bills. Rooms are dirty, no fire regulation signs, smoke detectors(which are compulsory in Turkey now), or extinguishers. Balcony doors don't open, air con didn't work, breakfast is a joke. The loungers are in disrepair, split mattresses, the chairs have cushions which are dirty, bar stool dangerous, one broke when a customer took his walking stick from where it was propped, the bar man just laughed and screwed the set back in!! I know it's cheap, but there are no standards here. The cleaners (I use the term loosely) just move your belongings around, towels are old and crunchy, floors not cleaned. Noisy in corridors, tired hotel, so disappointing. My bathroom stunk of sewerage, there were tiny millipede things under the sink, on the floor, when I mentioned this to the owner, he said he'd send someone up to clean it...did he? Of course not. Breakfast was same every day, cheap coffee decanted into Nescafe jars, boiled eggs, hard, bread, jam, 2 types of plastic cheese, pitiful. My friend asked for an omelette for a change and got charged for it!! What a joke.

The hotel has a fair 3 star rating, if you are used to 5 star accommodation then the Tolay isn't for you ! The rooms are basic but comfortable & cleaned to a high standard daily, the pool & outside bar area is great with a great selection of drinks, the food menu is basic but the food itself is fantastic ( I ate everyday at the Tolay ) There are areas of the hotel that could do with a little TLC & a lick of paint but this certainly won't spoil your time here ( just being honest ). I met so many nice people here & was surprised at the amount of guests that come back every year ( I'm returning back in October this year ) ! Well done Tolga, Karen, Kmili & all the staff at the Tolay. A truly fantastic holiday.

A hotel with excellent and very friendly staff. The rooms, beds and facilities are fine. A perfect business in terms of food. Being close to the forest also provides an extraordinary experience. The pool is suitable for both children and adults.

Stayed a bit more than a week and didn't get a single night of rest. The toilet was leaking which led to at least 20 mosquitoes entering through a window which wasn't closable and had no fly-net. We got eaten alive and had to stay up til 5 am almost every night hunting down every last mosquito, just so we could get some rest on our already uncomfortable beds. We had no towels for the first couple of days and no toiletries or soaps were provided at any point. We got invaded by ants which entered through the filthy air conditioner and we woke up many mornings with multiple ants crawling on us, and when we reported this we got told it was our fault for taking food to our room, despite us not taking anything which wasn't already in a sealed plastic bag. Our suitcases and clothes got infested with ants, we got eaten alive by mosquitoes, had to wear slippers in the bathroom because the floor was always wet and we couldn't get a proper night's rest for our entire stay. The fridge was broken and never worked, I never saw the pool get cleaned once, the toilet was near unusable and stained, the walls were dirty and the drawers looked like they hadn't been cleaned in 35 years. The best thing was the pool table which provided quite a few hours of fun. The staff were friendly and the property is within walking distance to shops. 1/5 just because of the pool table. Definitely wouldn't recommend to anyone who wants an actual holiday and some rest.
