알칸 호텔(Alkan Hotel)

I love this hotel, staff are so nice and friendly, nothing is too much trouble for them. They go above and beyond to make sure you have an enjoyable stay. The beds are very comfortable, and your room is cleaned daily, and the bonus that air conditioning is included. Some of the rooms are a little dated but still very functional. If you have a promotional room, these are more updated.

We bagged a cheap deal very last minute flew from Glasgow. Had a couple of teething problems with first room but went and complained to desk - they quickly switched our rooms and we were happier. Breakfast is very basic - eggs on toast. Says free wifi it doesn’t work in rooms I’d recommend getting a wifi box. Need to pay for safe. Not allowed to use hotel towels at pool. Not allowed to bring own food and drink into hotel. Since it was start of season is was quite quiet we got sun lounges easy but told by other guests they recommended getting up early for a bed. If you like a cheap, clean, basis hotel this is for you. Overall it was a nice stay.

Only booked the one night here as a stop gap because I couldn’t get in my chosen hotel for the length of my holiday but I was pleasantly surprised. It wasn’t a good start on arrival just before midnight when I checked my paperwork to discover to my horror that I’d actually booked the wrong date and not the date I was arriving ! (What a plonker), The guy on reception was very good and although I had to pay again the price was so reasonable that I was just grateful to have a bed after a long journey. My room was spacious if a little dated, a large comfortable double bed, tv, fridge, safe deposit box, a good shower, and one of the largest wrap-around balconies I’ve ever seen which overlooked a a good sized pool with around 30 sunbeds. The included breakfast was basic but reasonably good, being typically Turkish, fried and hard boiled eggs, olives, tomato, cucumber, cheese, pancakes, jam, and other bits n bobs. The bread was disappointing as it was from a packeted slice loaf, a real shame as the unsliced Turkish bread is so good and also cheap. The coffee was good. You’ve no worries about cleanliness- the whole place is impressively clean. Although I was booked into a four star all inclusive the next day I must admit I could have settled here for the week easily. (& saved a few quid) . If you bear in mind it’s a budget hotel and you’re not expecting the Ritz then you’ll have no problem at all with the Alkan. I guarantee I’ll be back, hopefully later this year.

One of my favourite hotels where I stay a couple of times a year Staff are amazing and cannot do enough for you rooms are spacious with a big sized balcony (corner back room) shower and bathroom is spacious very good location and value for money Aircon is free too

Basic hotel, no frills. Breakfast is just okay. You can not get water or hot tea after breakfast unless you pay. For a Turkish tea you will pay 25 lira. Pool water was sparkling. Most of the staff were very nice and friendly except for one young man, who was always rude to us. The balcony we had was really nice and big, wrap around. We however were on the second floor, right above Carlos Streakhouse so it was always noisy.

We didn't like this hotel ; and that is from the observation of people who are not fussy when it comes to places we stay at. This is not to put people off but to guide them based on the kind of holiday experience they want to have. From our experience, there is no buzz or life of this hotel ; it really needs updating , the reception is dingy and dark and the rooms don't feel like a cosy welcome back when returning to after a long day . The location is in a very touristic spot in Marmaris on main road, the closeness to the stunning beach and view of the mountains is exquistely beautiful - however the whole atmosphere of the hotel needs some TLC. We had no memorable attachment to this hotel as part of our holiday ; our room was on the main road and very noisy so perhaps that's part of it, but I just think for such a popular place they could do better . We didn't feel any warmth from this hotel -If you're going to go out all day in Marmaris perhaps this place is for you, but it was very nondescript for us.

Don’t let the reviews make your mind up lovely hotel very big rooms and breakfast was basic but that’s what you pay for there were scrambled eggs fried eggs beans mushrooms and cold selection toast sometimes they had pancakes other times they had chips…staff were friendly and cleaners were lovely

Although this is a basic hotel it was good value for money, large spacious room cleaned daily but it was roadside so very noisy did ask to be moved but receptionist just did not seem interested said when they had a room available at the back she would let us know but never heard from her and got fed up chasing. Breakfast was basic but adequate always managed to find something even had fresh pancakes but only on one day out of ten. Pool area clean and tidy and always sunbeds available one side much sunnier than the other only complaint would be people who put towels at silly o'clock but then only use them for maybe an hour in the afternoon. Pool bar was ok staff very helpful only comment would be drink prices bit expensive around £6 for a spirit and about £3.50 for an Effes bars directly outside much cheaper. Would return if I was looking for a cheap chilled break.

I arrived at Alkan to find that my hotel room was filthy. The bedding was not clean, the tiled floor hadn't been cleaned in days and the shower area was mouldy and disgusting. I had booked a "Double bed" and found it to be two singles which I was unhappy about. I complained to Easyjet Holidays who made contact with the hotel but were unable to move me to another room due to the hotel being full. The following day, I was shown to another room on the top floor and it was fantastic. The room was immaculately clean and the cleaner became the best person in the hotel. She was an older lady with no English but her warmth and generosity shone through. She kept the room so clean and proved that it was possible to clean rooms to high standard. Breakfast was ok and the trick was to be there first thing in the morning when all the food was hot and fresh. The hotel needs direction and a major revamp. Staff at reception and around the pool area appear weary and disinterested. The hotel is in a central part of Marmaris and has so much potential but sadly falls short.
