Where We Stayed in Antalya | Travel in Türkiye

May 04, 2025

 

During our trip to Antalya in March 2025, we wanted to experience different sides of the city, so we stayed at three very different hotels. Each one had its own style, atmosphere, and location, giving us a well-rounded experience. Here’s a quick overview of where we stayed and what we thought about each place. At the end of this post, you’ll find a comparison table to help summarize the key points.

La Paloma Hotel (Kaleiçi Old Town)

A small boutique hotel with a charming courtyard and cozy atmosphere. The pool was closed for the season, but still pretty to look at.

Staff was welcoming and helpful.

The room was nicely decorated, the bed comfortable and the bathroom was decent. It was a bit small for those chairs and table, and not much room for the luggage, but for one night I think it was fine.


The location was perfect for exploring the old town on foot.

Breakfast had some good fresh options. Nothing extra special, but you don’t have to start your day by thinking where to get some coffee and food. We were happy with the selection.


Porto Bello Hotel (All-Inclusive)

A large beachfront resort with pools, a spa, and direct access to Konyaaltı Beach. The all-inclusive service offered plenty of food options throughout the day, making it a relaxing stay.


At Portobello Hotel, we were really lucky with the room we got. It was on 8th floor facing the Taurus mountains and also the Mediterranean sea. The bed was very comfortable for a good night’s sleep. The room size was nice, it had a great balcony and we loved staying there.


Can’t just get over the incredible view from our 8th floor balcony.


C Suites Airport Hotel

A modern and clean apart-hotel near the airport, ideal for a quick overnight stay before a flight. The rooms were spacious, and everything was comfortable and practical.
