Portakal Hotel

"Just home from a lovely week with my daughter. I’ve been to Dalyan many times but first time to this hotel. It’s clean, lots of sunbeds, in a lovely position by the river and breakfasts are very good. Staff are extremely friendly and very helpful, thank you for a lovely stay."

"Husband and I have now visited Dalyan 4 times, staying in 4 different hotels and we are sure the Portakal is by far the best. Set in a lovely location on the riverside it is peaceful and charming with friendly helpful staff, clean comfortable rooms and close enough to Dalyan town centre to be a gentle walk of about 20-30 minutes. We were B&B and the breakfasts had a reasonable amount of choice. We had a snack lunch one day which was very nice. There are a large number of cats living in the hotel, the kittens are beautiful a sort of clouded tortoisehell and extremely friendly. We spent quite a lot of our time just petting these beauties. We had a ground floor room with a small covered terrace area. I had requested twin beds but none were available. However, the king size double was comfortable. The bathroom was quite large with a walk-in shower. There were two pairs of new towelling slippers in the wardrobe and a kettle and cups on the cabinet. Sleep quality was good. Unfortunately, and this was not a problem with the hotel, I tripped on broken paving slabs on the walk back from town on our 2nd evening. In the dark I did not see the hazard. I fell hard on my face, hands and knees. Fortunately some people walking behind us saw what happened and came to my aid, helping my husband to lift me up. A young couple in a car also stopped and very kindly drove us back to the hotel, where the staff rushed to help, washing the dirt and blood off and applying antiseptic cream. They were so very kind. In this part of Dalyan the roads are used by taxis, vans, motorcyclists and kids on scooters all of whom drive like its Formula 1, and the roads and pavements are very badly lit, it is very easy to miss your footing. We can thoroughly recommend it , despite being walking wounded! Finally, must thank Ayub and Ibrahim on Reception for their helpfulness at all times."

"Our first time at the hotel portakal what a great experience it’s a family run hotel owned by Methap and Guneyt (apologies if I have got spelling incorrect) everybody at the hotel owners ,cleaning staff , restaurant workers, reception, and bar staff are so helpful.The hotel is beautiful clean and well kept. The rooms are large with big bathrooms , the lower floor have small terace with table and chairs leading onto a walkway to reception or pool and bar. The breakfast offering was good and restaurant was open for lunches from 12- 4. The hotel looks straight out onto the river with views to die for Special mention to the 3 bar staff Asat Mahmoud and especially Ramz who got great delight in telling me my end of night cocktail of raki fresh orange juice and lemonade was not right We highly recommend for a hotel in dalyan My wife and I will be back"
