We had a wonderful stay at Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel! We were welcomed by a nice gentleman who was very helpful and offered us tea. We were late arriving due to the time of our flight so receiving good hospitality at that time was brilliant! The lady Sevda, was super nice! She still accommodated us with breakfast during a morning were we missed the last slot and every morning when she would see us she would offer us her freshly baked goods and even help ourselves to during the day if we ever wanted a snack. She was very accommodating. The rest of the staff were welcoming, smiley and helpful. I would recommend staying at Dilhayat! Thank you!

They have a beautiful big pool. It is about 17 degrees, almost nobody using it. Why so cold? They have a very large beach on the Mediterranean. The water is lovely and warm. The beach is rock and gravel. Without water shoes or the like you cannot walk on it. The large circular water slide was open to use only sparingly. For most of the time it was roped and chained off. Why have it if we cannot use it? These things aside, I would still come back. The food was excellent, the rooms quite nice and the service was first rate. Correcting the issues would not be such a big problem to overcome. If they would do those fixes, I would say this property would rank in the very high 9's.

This is a nice hotel close to historical places, a little bit hidden but there is no problem getting there. The room was confortable and clean. The staff very helpful and kind. Breakfast is at the terrace, with plenty of Turkish dishes, really recommended.

We had a lovely stay here! It was close to some of the key local attractions which made it easy to come back for a nap between sight seeing (needed given our jet lagged state). Breakfast on the rooftop was a highlight!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Dilhayat Kalfa Hotel! Our room on the first floor was beautiful, spacious, and equipped with all the amenities we needed. The breakfast menu changed daily, and the staff was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. The hotel is within walking distance of many attractions, and public transportation options like the metro and bus are easily accessible. We highly recommend staying here to experience its antique charm and cozy atmosphere!
