Having stayed at many hotels in Turkey some not as expensive the hotel and settings are unique unfortunately so are the staff they are the most unfriendly bordering on rude people I have met anywhere in Turkey the hotel is expensive for meals & drinks most of the guests were German which may explain the staffs manner

Alp Pasa is a beautiful boutique hotel in the best location possible in the old city of Antalya. The rooms are large (even the standard room was bigger than our deluxe balcony room at the Sheraton Antalya), and the furnishings beautiful - nice pictures on the walls and cool antiques throughout the hotel. Also, there are tonnes of nooks in the communal areas to sit by yourself and read a book or lounge in the sun on a hidden balcony. The breakfast buffet is fresh and simple - the dinner buffet is more varied with the most delicious meze and salad selection to start. The desserts are the perfect mix of sweet dishes, pastries and fruit. The dining area is refined, and the service from the waiters perfect. You sit in candle light around the central courtyard with a pianist providing musical ambiance. I love that the food and decor are specifically Turkish, so you are not in a bubble of a generic hotel which could be anywhere in the world. The pool is more of a plunge pool to cool off in - it's not intended for swimming. The poolside lunches delivered to white clothed dining tables are delicious, and a bargain at only ?6 including a drink. I would love to visit again, and recommend this boutique hotel to everyone - however, remember it is 'boutique', so don't turn up expecting a big chain monstrosity with football pitch sized swimming pools and buffet tables a mile long. Expect good local food, stylish decor, friendly people and the best location.

Great pool/dining area appearance. Lots of antiques scattered about hotel area. Excellent breakfast selection. Good location for staying in the center of the old city. Room was reasonably sized with good air-conditioning. We (two couples) had two rooms for two nights. Neither room was cleaned very well after the first night. Extra charges for everything - including 2 euros a day for the in-room safe key. If you can get a good rate, then a reasonable place to stay - if you pay rates equivalent for a 4 or 5 star hotel, stay elsewhere.

We opted for one of the cheaper rooms at the Alp Pasa and were overall very pleased with our choice. The room was clean although the bed was too hard! Although dinner was included in our package beware drinks are charged separately. The pool is very small but the surroundings are very relaxing. I highly recommend visiting the hotel's Turkish Bath.
