“Goes beyond what a hotel should”

I'm writing this on behalf of my mother, Joyce — and I want everyone who reads this to understand that what I'm about to describe goes so far beyond a hotel review that I barely know where to start. My mum is 85 years old. She has been visiting the Saray Hotel in Hisarönü for over 20 years - first… more

I'm writing this on behalf of my mother, Joyce — and I want everyone who reads this to understand that what I'm about to describe goes so far beyond a hotel review that I barely know where to start. My mum is 85 years old. She has been visiting the Saray Hotel in Hisarönü for over 20 years - first with my late father James, and after he passed away, she has continued to return year after year. She loves this place. The staff always put her in her favourite room. They make her a proper English tea without being asked. Behind the bar, there is a plaque we had made in honour of my dad - and it is still there. That tells you everything you need to know about what kind of place this is. But none of that is why I'm writing this review. At the end of her most recent visit, my mum checked out of the hotel and made her way to the airport. She fell ill before she could board her flight, and found herself in hospital in Turkey, alone, at 85 years old. I contacted the hotel simply to let them know what had happened. I asked for nothing. No one did. The owner, Farty, his son, another member of staff, and another guest - a friend my mum had made during her various stays - got in the car and made a four-hour round trip to the hospital to visit her. They brought flowers. They brought cake. They brought gifts. And when they arrived and realised she didn't have some basic essentials - a toothbrush, toothpaste - they went out and bought those for her too. Nobody asked them to do any of this. They just did it. My mum is not a number on a booking system to the people at the Saray. She is family. And on the day she needed people most, in a foreign country, far from home, they showed up. Completely unprompted, with kindness and warmth that most people will never experience from anyone - let alone a hotel. If you are looking for a clean, friendly, well-located hotel in Hisarönü with good food and genuinely lovely staff, the Saray delivers all of that. But what this hotel really offers is something money cannot buy and no star rating can measure. These are good people. Exceptional people. My mum will be going back. So would anyone with any sense.

“Great stay, lovely hotel in a perfect location”

We stayed for 9 nights at the end of August, we were apprehensive due to a few of the reviews but we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The hotel was spotless and so was our room, it was cleaned every day by the loveliest cleaner, the air con was good and there was a small fridge stocked with cans and water (to pay for). Nice comfy bed, loads of hangers and a really hot powerful shower. The balcony was very small but we didn’t use it. The gardens are lovely, well tended with lots of fruit trees, flowers and a few chickens roaming freely but they don’t bother you. The pool area is large and plenty of sun loungers, it was very busy when we were there so we only sat round it a couple of days. Everyone was having fun and it was very clean. Breakfast was basic but plentiful, cereals, bread, jams, eggs, watermelon, tea and coffee but you could order and pay for other dishes to be served. There was a well stocked bar and a good menu for lunches and dinner. The hotel is literally a 2 minute walk to the strip so a perfect location. Yes there are signs up asking you not to take food in from outside but that’s to be respected in a bed and breakfast hotel rather than self catering, we had no problem with it and the staff were lovely and friendly towards us. I’d highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

“Great time”

I wish people would stop writing bad reviews about saray. As we had a great time. Staff was fantastic. We had a family room. Pool was great cleaned every morning. Food and drink was a good price.

I wish people would stop writing bad reviews about saray. As we had a great time. Staff was fantastic. We had a family room. Pool was great cleaned every morning. Food and drink was a good price. If you're bringing food and drink into the hotel. Then be more discreet. As some familys take the Mick. We had a lovely holiday. Thanks Troll and chris
