Villa Tulipan anmeldelser

I visited Antalya in May 2024, and wanted to experience the charm of living in the old town. Villa Tulipan was one of the more promising choices - it had above average reviews, was reasonably priced, and, more importantly, was located in the heart of Kaleici. Unfortunately, it was not the perfect stay I had in mind. I was particularly disappointed with the bathroom facilities. There was this nasty sewage smell eminating from the bathroom drains. Thankfully, I was out most of the day but I would imagine this would be an unpleasant experience for those wanting to laze in their hotel rooms. I learned that this was due to the poor plumbing infrastructure that plagues many buildings in this area, and this is not a trivial problem to solve. Nonetheless, I felt more could have been done to make this issue bearable, such as providing stronger bathroom scents and air purifiers, for example. The bathroom's cleanliness was also not up to standards. I found used plastic packaging and hair in the shower area. Another issue I had was with my room's shower heater. The water temperature would fluctuate wildly even though the heater knob was not touched. One moment hot water, then cold water the next. Barring these issues, the hosts' hospitality was the saving grace during my short stay here. They were friendly and helpful in providing information about the area, including things to do and must-see sights. I will give a special mention to the resident kittens that roam freely on the hotel's ground floor. I especially appreciate the effort put into the room "themes" and hotel's decor. There is also a rooftop terrace for those looking to enjoy scenic views of the marina. If you can look past the bathroom issues that were highlighted, then you will find that Villa Tulipan is actually quite a quaint, charming location to stay in. Overall, I thought my stay here was functional, at best. Great location close to many of the old town's attractions, but could definitely do better in terms of providing a more quality stay.
