Citrus Park Hotel

“A great, budget-friendly hotel”

My partner and I spent a week here and were pleasantly surprised considering the price we paid.

My partner and I spent a week here and were pleasantly surprised considering the price we paid. Pros - The hotel itself was very up-to-date with modern decor in the lobby/bar (even an Instagram photo opportunity at the entrance if that's your thing) and 2 lifts to rooms. - Our room was basic but clean and spacious enough with air conditioning, a huge bed, fridge, hair dryer and plenty of plugs (we are from the UK so brought our own adapters as these weren't provided). We had a Juliette balcony that had a dryer line and washing pegs to hang wet towels/swimwear. - The room was reset every day except 2 where we'd slept in past 10am (I'm not sure this is the time they stop cleaning but it seemed to be the pattern). All towels were replaced, bed was made, bins emptied and 2 water bottles provided each time which was great. The cleaning staff were friendly too! - The hotel was VERY quiet but this could have been down to the time of year we visited. - They share a relatively small pool with the hotel next door (The Luna Hotel) and again this was extremely quiet so we had no struggle for sunbeds. I'm not sure how great this would be in the busier months as there definitely weren't enough beds to cater for one hotel let alone two. Cons - The blanket on the bed was on the smaller side and the pillows were not the comfiest (subject to preference!). Also, the air-con was slightly temperamental but worked most of the time. - Breakfast lived up to our low expectations (from previous reviews) but this wasn't down to the actual food. Unfortunately we didn't even get to try anything but bread and butter as the buffet was not replenished after 30 minutes of waiting. The coffee was also terrible. We ended up eating out for breakfast most days but we didn't mind! There was a great cafe on the corner opposite the beach called 'Trend Park Coffee' serving Turkish omlettes, pastries, fresh fruit and a variety of hot/cold coffees which was reasonably prices so I would 100% recommend that if you don't fancy the breakfast. - Next doors pool was good but FREEZING. Even in 30 degree heat I couldn't bare it so we spent most days at the beach as the sea was lovely. Also due to the pool being surrounded by buildings, it became shaded after midday. If you don't enjoy the pool, I'd recommend the Barcelona Beach Club which is just across the main road, where you just have to pay 250L for a bed for the day, you can order as much food/drink as you like and the staff are wonderful. - The majority of staff we came across were rude and dismissive which was a shame. On one occasion we approached the bar for a drink and the bartender walked off and didn't return so after 15 minutes of waiting we gave up. We spent most of our time away from the hotel so this didn't bother us too much. - The hotel is located very close to a mosque, so you will most likely be woken up to prayers at sunrise, and hear this 4 more times throughout the day. It is very loud but I will say from experience this is completely normal in Turkey, so please don't visit if it's going to bother you as you can hear it no matter where you are staying. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay. Most of the cons were either bearable or easily fixed by finding alternatives, and for a budget-friendly hotel, this was definitely worth it.

“Overall worth the price”

Evertything went smoothly from checking in to checking out. The receptionist upgraded our room for no reason which was great. The room itself was clean and pool facing although it was not open.

Evertything went smoothly from checking in to checking out. The receptionist upgraded our room for no reason which was great. The room itself was clean and pool facing although it was not open. Pros: The location is fantastic hard 5 min walk to the beach. The reception is cosy and has a cafetiere and seating area. Comes with the lift. Mattresses were fine. The room is quiet and spacious. Except there was this one night when the young teens came and made noises and even broke the smoking alarm in the lobby but apart from that we felt safe and had a sound restful and peaceful sleep. Amazing huge window with a beautiful view with somewhat sea view. Clean and soothing vibes of the room. You get the jet in the toilet (which was amazing). The toiletries were there and shower is nice. Spacious wardrobe. 3 single beds in the room. Plenty of sockets. Cons Blankets were small. if you are tall its gonna be a tough one. TV was even smaller. I had no idea why it was even there in the first place. The furniture looked as if the wood was reused. Its like me trying to convert an ikea cabinet into a console table. Lots of previous holes visible temporary fixing screws. That was heart breaking actually. The vanity in the bathroom as well was redone as if you painted over your chipped bubbled ikea furniture. But I believe the cons can be compromised compared to the money you are paying. It was better than what we expected.

“Not the best”

Stayed in a suite with large kitchen, no pots or pans so unable to cook, the rooms very old and would benefit from a lick of paint. Furniture very old and tatty. Breakfast is of poor quality and no cold drinks available at breakfast and low stocked bar.
