Arp Dalyan

The Arp Dalyan is a 3-star hotel and bed and breakfast in Dalyan, Türkiye. It has 15 rooms and is located 14 km from the D400 highway on a cobblestone street along the Dalyan Boğazı River. It has a breakfast room leading to an open deck/dock overlooking the Lycian Kaunos Rock Graves cut into the cliff across the river (with the best views of any hotel in the city). We saw a large sea-turtle swimming near the deck. The hotel is clean, apparently pretty new, has great views, free Wi-Fi and has an outdoor pool with sun loungers. Rooms are air conditioned with flat-screen TVs (only found two English language stations – one was a Middle East oriented news station and the other was NHK World Japanese station), mini-fridges, tea and coffeemaking facilities, and tiled en-suite bathrooms. Some rooms are large enough to have sofa beds. Like most Turkish hotels, this one is “amenity-lite”. You get shampoo, shower gel, hand soap and towels (including a beach towel on-request). That’s about it – no washcloth or hair conditioner, razor, Q-Tips or any of the other stuff that a major hotel might supply. The owner’s wife doesn’t speak much English, but is knowledgeable and very helpful. The owner speaks English well, but when it comes to giving advice - well, see his wife :-) The hotel has a “tea time” with cake each day at 5PM. The Arp Dalyan Hotel is located 12 km from İztuzu Beach and the owner’s wife arranged for one of the boats from the Dalyan Water Taxi Coop to pick us up along its route from the town center (dock is behind the main mosque) to the beach. The current round-trip (return) fare (2023) is 140TRY (currently about $5.25USD). The boat trip takes about an hour.

We had an excellent stay at ARP Hotel, Dalyan. This hotel is a hidden gem right on the edge of the Dalyan Lake and looking out across to the ancient Dalyan Tombs. Owner Berk Özgen and his team of staff cannot do enough for you and go out of their way to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. The rooms are well equipped with regular towel change, bedding change and room cleaning. In high season I believe the boat service from the town centre to the world famous Iztuzu Beach will pick up and drop off at the hotel dock if requested. And then there's the fabulous, included Turkish Breakfast, which it has to be said is fantastic, including eggs, fruits, various cheeses and lots more all freshly prepared by the team.

Just wonderful! What a nice, small, friendly family hotel with spectacular views of the river and great service. Rooms are comfy, clean and totally do the job. You can choose from small or standard and with or without a balcony, just depends on your budget. Breakfast is excellent overlooking the water & a cold beer at the end of the day on the river terrace is just magical. Thank you all for a fabulous stay, we will be back.

Stayed here for few nights after sailing for a week with chums. Nice hotel. Brilliant location lovely views. Fantastic breakfast. Helpful and friendly staff. Berk was very happy to help us with information and recommendations. Peaceful and relaxing . Just a quick walk to the main town with all the bars shops and restaurants. Great hotel . Highly recommended. We will be back.

Excellent location. Lovely, helpful staff. Good pool. Downstairs room was little dull, with no view of the river, but practical and comfortable.

Beautiful hotel with lovely staff. We stayed in September and had not been to Dalyan before, the hotel was far enough out of the centre to be lovely and quiet. Lovely breakfast on the river with turtles swimming up every day. Berg was very helpful and a great host. Relaxing trip in a lovely hotel

Unbelievable view from the hotel porch. We were upgraded to a larger room, which was large and modern and comfortable. Provided tea and sweets around 5 in addition to breakfast. Nice pool. Lunch next door was tasty. Drive to Ituzu beach was gorgeous and the beach fabulous!

Excellent. The owner came out to rescue us after midnight when we could not find our way to the hotel. Amazing views on the Dalyan river with great service and attention to details.
