The hotel was really lovely - good size, clean rooms with little balconies to sit out on and drying lines and pegs. Decent bathrooms with hot water, large towels and toiletries - spotlessly clean. Comfy beds. The swimming pool is proper swimming size and the lounging area is secluded. The bar area is delightful and the buffet breakfast delicious with lots of variety. The hotel has more of a ‘boutique’ vibe than the pictures suggest. The best thing though is the manager and team. They all care so much and nothing is too much trouble. I hurt my ankle walking the Lycian Way so they arranged a car to pick us up, moved our rooms to bottom floor, sorted an ice pack etc. We were comfy in the bar one night (in our fave spot), so a local restaurant brought us food over. Proper customer service - not OTT or too present - we just felt safe and looked after. Highly recommend. ( the local village and local cafes/restaurants all super lovely too)

I always like a kettle in the room to make a cuppa but this was hardly a big deal … not difficult to get a decent cup of tea in Turkey!!

We spent 8 wonderful nights at the Dardanos Hotel and had an excellent experience throughout our stay. Arif was a great host, always eager to offer suggestions on activities and local spots to visit or to assist when needed. The pool area was top-notch, providing a relaxing atmosphere, and the rooms were both spacious and immaculate. Breakfast was delicious, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was welcoming and comfortable.

I really loved the location and the village itself, the unpretentious, authentic and cosy atmosphere of the hotel and the dedication of the hosts who are always available, smiling, in a good mood and giving great advice. The pool and its facilities are also perfect: good orientation, comfy sunbeds, sun umbrellas. The hotel also has a nice bar where it is nice to get drinks after walking to watch the sunset. The breakfast was also excellent: there is indeed real and quality coffee (expressos, cappucinos...), a lot of fruits, fresh bread, simit... and you get eggs. You can go to the beach with the shuttle and in the evenings you can totally walk up the hill to go watch the sunset. I had a very relaxing holiday which went beyond my expectations given the excellent value for money, thanks a lot!

The isolation between the rooms is not ideal, bring ear plugs and you should be fine.

Arif, the manager and his staff went above and beyond. The little town of Gelemis, where the hotel is located is lovely too. Arif made many useful suggestions that helped our experience. The courtyard is lovely and peaceful and the swimming pool is clean. Air conditioning worked really well during a heat wave and the balconies were small but really nice.

Everything was really good. If anything I would make it clear that the hotel is not on Patara Beach (because no hotel is really-the info on Booking.com needs to be corrected which the management is working on) and some hot water kettle with tea in the rooms would be a plus. But these are just suggestions.

No fridge or tea making facilities in room

Arif and his team made this short stay a perfect and warm one. The hotel has an amazing quality for value score. The rooms are big, quiet and well designed. the pool is a great plus, with beautiful lemon and orange trees around. Breakfast in the garden is generous, fresh in a Mediterranean healthy style. Located in the middle of the very small Patara village. Patara beach and site are 5 min driving.

Nothing! the construction works near the hotel did not bother us. just be aware the muezzin can wake you up at 5 am, like anywhere else in Turkey :)

Very good location in the centre of Patara with nice restaurants in the neightbourhead. Unbelievably friendly and helpful staff and owner. Nice breakfast with a lot of fruit. Good swimming pool.

It would be good to get clean towels every morning. That is the only minus.

This is a very nice place, very friendly staff and excellent breakfast. Nice garden bar and swimming pool. Close to everything.

Staff and owner, Arif were exceptional in making our stay comfortable and relaxing. I've never come across such a level of dedication and service. It really made a difference. Well done Arif.

Could have done with bedside lamps. But this is a two-star hotel. The service level made all the difference.

Breakfast was amazing! Room clean everyday. Pool area very nice! The owner was incredibly kind, always willing to help! Staff was great! Lightning was very good!

Hard to sleep without air conditioning (Turkey's hot, not their fault!)
