Dalyan Holiday Hotel

This was my 2nd visit to the Holiday Hotel in Dalyan, I previously stayed in 2021 for 1 month and will be staying again a few times in 2024. This place is perfect. As a solo female traveller I always feel safe and at home staying with Kerem and his lovely Mum. The hotel itself is set right on the Dalyan Delta with its own little jetty at the bottom of the extensive garden. It has a lovely pool and cute little sitting areas with hammocks, egg chairs, and outdoor seating. Yes the rooms are basic, but they are cute, homely and clean. If your usual preference is a 4 star chain hotel with modern decor, TV with satellite Chanel’s and buffet breakfast with loads of sun beds and towels down at 6am, then this hotel is not for you. If like me, you prefer, homely, quirky decor, fresh food, friendly, kind and funny hosts with good and interesting conversation then yes, this hotel could be just your thing. Ideal for solo travellers and Artists looking to meet new people of all nationalities and just wanting to chill out in beautiful surroundings and live simply.

Excellent value for what we paid. The family that run the hotel are lovely, so friendly and welcoming.

Stayed here with my friend, and we had an amazing experience. Just to start, there is a pool in the back and a bar with a beautiful view of the burial tomb in the hill across the river. Turkish breakfast is served to you here every day, and you can sit next to the river and feed turtles. It is a super nice breakfast, with cheeses and home-made jams. I’d also recommend trying the homemade pomegranate juice. Besides this, the host, Kerem, is so lovely and helpful. I would recommend having a conversation with him, he has great advice about Dalyan and interesting stories. He also helped us with calling a cab to the airport.

Words are not enough to describe the authenticity, the view, food and the hospitality. Kerem’s hotel delivered more then the photos. As we walked in to this beautiful hotel we were amazed by the nature and the outstanding view, then followed by the delicious breakfast by the river all homemade by Kerem’s mum. Kerem and his family were very genuine and hospitable that made us feel home. While having breakfast, local friends 3 most beautiful turtles also greeted us. What else could we ask for. We wish we had more time to enjoy the place but definitely will return and recommend it to everyone. It was the highlight of our holiday. Thanks for the great experience :)

Wonderful place! Kerem, his mother and staff were so friendly and helpful. The facilities were even better than the pictures. We had dinner there both nights because there food was so good! We would definitely stay here again!

It felt very safe easy going at the riverside breakfast

The most beautiful little gem in dalyan, everything was perfect my hubby and I stayed for 10 nights in may and again in October,the owner and his mum are so welcoming and nothing was toouch trouble at all,the breakfast was out of this world and homemade jams to die for,we made friends with the two dogs and saw turtles everyday normally while eating breakfast by the river,the food in the evening was perfect and especially the sea bass,the rooms are clean and bright and we couldn't have asked for more,once you've stayed you'll keep going back,so happy to have found this dalyan gem.

We stayed here for 2 weeks in the end and absolutely loved every second of our stay. Everything was perfect, the hotel and Daylan itself, we will be back! The breakfast looking out over the river with the turtles every morning was perfect and well missed now at home! The owner and dogs were very friendly and couldn't make us feel anymore welcome and comfortable at the hotel. Very hospitable! The hotel was very comfortable and had everything we needed. 100% 5*.

Very nice hosts and staff. Hosts speak good English. Excellent location under Lycian tombs and river and marshes. Rooms clean and air conditioned.
