If you’re looking for the perfect place to stay in Antalya, Turkey, consider exploring some of these hidden gems. You’ll not only be spoilt for choice but also find hotels that are conveniently located near popular tourist attractions and sightseeing spots.
Here are a few tips on how to find the perfect hotel in Antalya, Turkey.
Strive for personal service
Many travellers are put off by the impersonal nature of hotel booking websites. But at the end of the day, the person behind the reception desk really does care about your experience. That’s why it’s important to approach your booking questions with a smile. Be personable and ask the staff how they can help. If you’re looking for a luxury hotel, don’t be afraid to check in with the staff and ask if they can help you out. If you’re on a budget, be sure to mention that and ask if they can recommend a good place to stay.
Be selective with your accommodation
We all have different taste and preferences when it comes to where we stay. Some people love the grandeur of luxury hotels while others prefer the personal service of budget hotels. Some travellers want to be close to the action but not right in the middle of it. There’s no need to overthink this. It’s important to remember that the hotel you choose should be close to what you want to see and do. So if you’re mainly interested in shopping, look for a hotel near the Grand Bazaar. If you’re more of a history buff, look for a hotel near the Lycian Way.
Don’t be afraid to bargain
Many hotels in Antalya overcharge during high season. So if you’re looking for a deal, ask at the front desk when you book. You might be surprised at how keen some staff are to help you. Most hotels offer discounts of up to 15% during low season. There are also special offers and deals throughout the year. So be sure to check out the hotel’s website to see what deals are available.
Try not to be too picky
We all have different taste when it comes to food so it’s important not to be too picky when it comes to where you stay. Some travellers like their hotel food to be a certain standard, so if that’s not an option for you, that’s fine. You’re probably more concerned about whether or not your hotel has a safe and adequate parking facility. But actually, these days lots of hotels have secure, bayside parking facilities. If you want to avoid paying for an extra vehicle, many hotels also offer bike parking.
Look out for hidden gems
Not every hotel in Antalya, Turkey is a direct reflection of the tourist attractions in the city. There are a number of hidden gem hotels in the city not listed on any Tourism Board website. If you’re looking for a good deal, try looking in the off-season. During the winter months (November to February), many of the hotels listed on the Tourism Board have reduced rates. Similarly, during the off-season (i.e. May to August) the Seeing Turkey site lists a number of discounted hotels.
Conclusion
The perfect hotel in Antalya, Turkey doesn’t necessarily have to be the most expensive hotel in town. In fact, you might be surprised at how easy it is to find a good deal on a budget hotel. All you have to do is to keep an open mind when it comes to hotels and try out a few different places until you find one that suits your needs and your budget.
