Keptur Hotel

We got two rooms in this hotel to spend a night on our drive from Istanbul to Marmaris. This hotel was the first available on the highway from Istanbul. We didn't need anything closer to Antalya Downtown. To my surprise, the hotel was flashy, in the style of the beginning of the 2000s. Apparently, it was designed for commerce crowd. And I loved it very much. Some things are over the top, but it's all in style, and it feels somehow appropriate. The staff is very nice. Everything is clean and in perfect condition.

The adjacent restaurant is not owned by the hotel. But breakfast is served there. We had dinner and breakfast. A little bit pricey, but the food was great.

Sauberkeit, Sicherheit und Freundlichkeit

Bon tracte i flexibilitat. Molt Bon hotel per trasllats i treball

The hotel is brand new and spotlessly clean. Staff were extremely friendly. Good English at the front desk, "good enough" English in the restaurant (which btw is a separate business that is only loosely connected to the hotel), non-existent in the housekeeping staff. We stayed in this hotel due to its proximity to some ancient ruins we wanted to explore (e.g. Termessos) so the location was ideal for us - your mileage with the location may vary - there's very little near the hotel that would interest a tourist, and absoltely nothing that you can walk to other than the very nice grocery store in the same building as the hotel. Very quiet in the hotel both day and night. Nice patio/garden area behind the restaurant. WiFi worked very well - good enough for us to stream movies.

The restaurant (separate business I think) only had an online menu with only the Turkish names of the dishes - no description of each dish, no English name of the dish, no pictures. This made it very difficult for us to figure out what to order. The restaurant is one of the branches of the 'Lara Balik' local franchise of gourmet restaurants, so higher end (and higher priced) that we would have preferred (with that said, the food and service were both outstanding). Breakfast is 'Turkish breakfast' style where they basically bring a buffet to your table - it's too much to eat and a lot of it goes uneaten and is thus wasted - which made us feel bad. We went out most mornings for 4-5 hours of sightseeing and ensured the 'please clean room' light was on, but upon our return after lunch one day we found that the room cleaning had just started (so we had to wait in the lobby for it to be completed) or on another day cleaning hadn't started at all (so we just gave up and it didn't get cleaned) - housecleaning staff should ensure that rooms that have the 'please clean room' light on get cleaned first/ASAP.
