Antalya, Turkey Hotel Rooms at the Independent

My mother and I stayed in a twin room at this hotel for a few nights in mid-may 2013. I'd describe Hotel Frankfurt as a boutique hotel catering to the range of travellers in between budget and luxury. Perfect for holiday-makers and also for the business traveller wanting something more local and authentic than a large hotel (and willing to do without the luxury add-ins). The service was attentive and personalised and the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable and welcome. Physically, the set up is wonderful with the rooms on all levels opening up onto a bright open space with a lovely courtyard and fountain at the bottom, where breakfast is served. The small pool is just around the corner and the walls providing privacy around the courtyard and pool were set against lush vegetation (including a laden plum (?) tree). There's a roof top terrace with a sea view in addition. One slight inconvenience was that the wi-fi didn't work very well in our room - but this was more than made up for by the excellent wi-fi elsewhere in the hotel and also the prevalence of free wi-fi in many of the surrounding cafes and restaurants in Kaleici. The owners of the neighbouring shops were also very friendly (inviting and cleary interested in our business but genuine and not at all pushy). This made returning to the hotel during the day a nice experience too.

I arrived late and they were waiting up for me--as the last guest. They immediately escorted me to my room, assuring me that registration could wait until morning. I had an excellent breakfast there the next morning--all to my order and then I decided to bring friends back for a leisurely lunch and it, too, was superb. I'm thinking of having a family birthday party there in the new year as I am so impressed with their facilities and service.

Large comfortable room and bathroom with a/c and sat TV. Up the hill from the main entertainment area in Kas, but saw this as a positive as it is very quite at night. Beautiful view from the terrace at breakfast. No lift in the hotel only stairs. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

The room was lovely with lots of character. The hotel is within the old city walls so we could see the Red Tower from the hotel and from our room we had a great view of the bay outside, ideal for watching the boats. The food was good with lots of fruit at breakfast, which looked as though it might have been picked off the nearby trees. The cakes were delicious as was the home cooking. The hotel is up a number of stairs, which I was initially concerned about as I was over 6 months pregnant at the time, but actually, even though we were near the top, they were fine. The staff should have a special mention. Jem/Jeb, who speaks English pretty well was a Godsend. After we had checked out we noticed the hire car had a flat tyre and we couldn't get to the spare. He arranged for a friendly mechanical to come out to us and sort it out for 30 lira! We also had an issue at our next hotel in Antalya (3 hours' drive away). We had left our passports in Alanya. Even though it was the weekend, Villa Turka managed to get them couriered to Antalya over night, and we only had to pay 50 Lira (they covered the rest). They didn't need to do it and without their help we would have had to spend our last day's holiday driving to and from Alanya. We would choose to stay there again when we are next in the region.

Had a wonderful 4 day stay at Kibala. Very relaxing and welcoming. Beautiful surroundings; excellent service and food -- breakfast was spectacular. Dinner was wonderful with fresh vegetables, herbs and grilled succulent fish.

Hotel is situated on beautiful place,atmosphere is warm,service is good,staff is very kind,polite and helpful.

Villa Lukka is an amazing place! Each room is its own small cabin with patio and private bath. The furnishings are beautiful and the room is so comfortable. I would guess this is the nicest place to stay in the village and is a short walk from the beach. Gardens are also very nice and would be beautiful in the summer. We even picked our own oranges!

We loved this hotel, but probably wouldn't have if we didn't have a car as it is well out of town. Pool and sea access were brilliant. Restaurant food was of a good quality. Room was spacious and the balcony overlooking the pool and sea was a great place to enjoy sunsets. We will go back.

Hoyren Wedre is a very special and beautiful small inn in the countryside. The owners took very good care of us and took us on a personalized hike to see the local Lycian ruins adjacent to their land. The food was absolutely delicious, and they were able to prepare gluten-free food at our request. The gardens are blooming with colorful flowers, pungent herbs, and fruit trees. The infinity pool overlooked a Mediterranean vista. Although we felt like we were very far away from the hustle and bustle, we were actually just a short drive to tourist areas and attractions on the coast. It was a treasure to return after sightseeing to the peace of the traditional quiet villa inn.

enjoyed the stay,hotel personnel was very cordial and professional
