Delight Deluxe Hotel

Everything was excellent, however, we would ask to be on the second level next time. We were on the first floor and it was noisy.

We have rather mixed feelings about the place. First impressions are good, the hotel is in a nice historic building, personnel is friendly and rooms are quite big. However it'd need a renovation already, small bits here or there are broken in the bathroom and nobody seems to care (towel holder, shower handle, shower door makes a huge popping noise every time you close it, warm water takes ages to arrive etc), in one of the rooms they forgot to put large towels, the breakfast definitely wouldn't worth it (we luckily didn't pay for it but went to check the breakfast and it's mediocre at best, there are much better places around for a little more money). The biggest gripe was the extremely noisy old town street right under the window, people went home shouting all night, there was a big fight also just around the corner at 2 a.m., then street cleaning and finally trash delivery early morning... So we didn't sleep much at all. And there was a free parking in theory but our 7-seater van didn't fit there. It was fine for one evening but we definitely wouldn't have liked to stay another night.

The bedsheets were not changed and were ripped. The room was honeymoon suite, left me underwhelmed. The rooftop terrace was not fit for purpose. Dead plants and dirty stained mattress for lying out in the sun.

The Delight Deluxe Hotel is in the heart of Antalya’s old town (Kaleici). It is a comfortable and clean hotel. And I would have no problem in staying there again. The online photos are accurate, but not recent and there is some aging. The rooms are well appointed and serviced everyday. The air conditioning is a God send, mental temperatures. There is a very small pool that only has the space for 8 sunbeds, and a couple of tables around it. However when we were there hardly anyone sunbathed, so it wasn’t an issue. There are a fair few trees around the pool area, so you won’t get much sun anyway. Things to know. Make sure before booking that you are staying in the main building. There is the Delight Deluxe Apartment’s near by, ( five minute walk) which they call their other facility. I was placed here and complained immediately. It is a self catering building really. There is a microwave, fridge and hob, pots and pans and cutlery, which is good if you wanted self catering, but the room that I was allocated was not what I booked for and was straight across from a bar which banged out music until 03.00, although the hotel staff assured me it would be quiet by midnight. If you have paid for breakfast also remember that the restaurant is not located in the main building, but next to the apartments, so it’s another walk each morning.
