Hotels with Bars in Pamukkale

Bellamaritimo is maybe not the newest hotel, but it is at a fine spot - we could see Pamukkale from our balcony and also see the hot air balloons in the morning when the sun was rising! The pool(s) and the courtyard are super nice and clean and very new! It was so much fun to cool down there after an exciting day. The owner of the hotel, Halim, was very friendly - as was the rest of the staff - and helped us with great advise in order to make the most of our visit at Pamukkale. We had already booked a hot air ballon ride for the first morning, but for the rest Halim's advice was extremely helpful! Breakfast (see the picture) at the hotel made us very happy and we also had dinner once at the hotel (the picture is not showing the delicious salad we had with it, but you'll get the picture). The hotel also offers wine 🍷 from the region. We tried the white wine that was a very enjoyable drink one of the evenings. Once, while enjoying the pool in the afternoon, the owner presented us two glasses of chilled pomegranate wine - that on a hot summer day is absolutely fantastic! 😍 The rooms were simple, but clean, as was the bathroom. But we didn't spend that much time inside anyways... 😎☀️ So, altogether, I can warmly recommend this hotel for your stay at Pamukkale - it's a grand choice! Last but not least, it's also a very affordable option ... 😉

Excellent hotel in a wonderful location. Lovely people at the reception. Large room, spacious bathroom, and a balcony view of a clean pool. This is a place the owners clearly love and maintain. Everything is spotless. Good breakfasts 👍🏻. We even flew in a hot air balloon over the travertines. We didn't want to leave. The clean mountain air, cool mornings and evenings, the chirping of birds, and the hooting of owls – pure delight. I wish this home-hotel continued prosperity!

It's too far from the ruins of Troy, there's no village in front and no shop behind, and you can't even finish your meal after three bowls! There is no public transportation, and taxis need to be called from shops in the city. It is very expensive to go anywhere, 600 lira! If you have a car, it doesn’t matter! You can live downtown and take the bus to Troy and the return bus! The hotel environment is simple and average! If you want to see the sea at your doorstep, go to the Canakkale Beach Hotel, it’s more beautiful!

It takes about 20 minutes to drive to Pamukkale. The location is quite convenient and the space is sufficient.

The room was generally OK, the bathroom facilities were average, and the shower was not very convenient. I don't know if the check-in receptionist was the boss, he was quite serious and not very enthusiastic, but the waiter at breakfast was quite good. The hotel is in a good location, opposite Pamukkale, not far from the entrance to the middle gate of Pamukkale (it should be noted that the middle gate opens at about 8:30 and closes at about 8 or 9 pm).

I actually booked this place thinking it was a hotel in the Pamukkale area (I don't know why I mistakenly thought that). After comparing it with other accommodations in Pamukkale, I ultimately chose this one. Since it's still winter, there's an outdoor pool, but it won't be open. I was hoping it had a famous hot spring in Pamukkale. This place has a large communal hot spring on the first floor, and each room can use the hot spring water. The red color of the bathtub in the bathroom photo is due to the hot spring water. When you turn on the faucet, 60-degree hot spring water gushes out, filling it up quickly. The other facilities and service are impeccable. The owner, Osman, and (probably) his sister are charming, yet attentive. They helped me book a hot air balloon and made it affordable. Osman's witty father is also always willing to answer any questions I have. He even gave me a ride to the bus stop on my way to Pamukkale. The Turkish breakfast is clean and plentiful. I barely managed to finish it after munching on coffee for over an hour, receiving over five refills. As I mentioned earlier, this isn't Pamukkale, but a village slightly north of it called Karahayt. It was a mistake, but I realized I'd made the right choice after reaching Pamukkale. Pamukkale is so well-known that it's a bit busier and more crowded, while this place is a bit further away, quieter, but still offers a friendly, secluded countryside atmosphere. After a very comfortable two nights, I checked out and headed to Antalya. Thank you, Osman Family.

The hotel rooms are quite big. I suggest not to stay in the rooms on the side of the pool, which is a bit noisy. There are outdoor swimming pools, indoor swimming pools, and hot spring pools. You need to wear a swimming cap in the hot spring pool (please note this). The most convenient thing is that they provide dinner, but there are too many groups. Everything else is good.

It was a great hotel, especially compared to the surrounding accommodations. The help, service, food and hygiene were excellent. Unfortunately, the spa department left much to be desired, probably because it was run by an external party. Before the massage, the staff was friendly and promised a lot of good things, but afterwards the agreed amount suddenly turned out to be higher. In addition, I had to pay cash because the owner said he had to pay his staff immediately. I found this very unpleasant. The attitude of the owner after the massage was unprofessional and annoying, which really ruined my experience. Too bad, because otherwise the hotel was good.

Would you like my honest opinion? My first negative impression was upon checking in at the front desk. The manager was very surprised that we had arrived with our pet, a 3 kg Yorkshire Terrier. He spent a long time on the phone and was very unhappy when he was told over the phone that we could check in with our pet. However, both the hotel's website and trip.com state that pets are allowed! I specifically chose this hotel! I don't understand how the receptionist could be unaware of such important information and make guests worry. (After all, if he hadn't allowed us to check in, we would have had to find a new hotel immediately!) Second, we booked twin rooms—that means there should be a door between the rooms, not two standard rooms next to each other! Third, I can say about the food—it's available, it's safe, and it's delicious—but that's debatable. For breakfast, you can have an omelet or scrambled eggs prepared by a sous-vide. Fourth, I was surprised by the tea in the lobby, where a sign in three languages ​​stated that tea was paid for, but no one paid for it—what's the point of that sign?! The beds are quite comfortable, but the mattress is a bit hard for my taste, and the beds are narrow. We were given attic rooms, and at 173 cm tall, I kept brushing the ceiling when approaching the bed. I also arrived in a Tesla, which also influenced my choice of hotel. As a result, there was only one very slow charger, and there was a queue for it. I ended up charging at a neighboring hotel, which has four fast chargers and two slow ones. Overall, it's bearable for two days, but for me, five stars is too much for this hotel; four stars is the maximum. And there's practically no parking at the hotel; all cars park on the street in front of the hotel.

Positive review: The room was clean, and the breakfast and dinner were plentiful. Negative review: When I went to the hot spring, they asked where I was from. If I said China, they demanded I buy a swimming cap for 100 lira, otherwise they wouldn't let me in. But I saw many foreigners weren't wearing swimming caps. It was strange; it was discriminatory treatment.
