Guney Brabant Hotel Antalya

Worn Down, Cold water, Full of bugs

This hotel is far from Antalya and the beaches, it is in Barinaklar, you need to take a bus or a car. You cannot walk to the beach in Lara, you really need to take the bus. You can however walk to the Duden falls, about 20 min walk. Please note that although this hotel boasts about being close to the airport, it isn't. It's about 15 to 20 min by cab and there is no bus going there. The cab will cost you about 30 to 35 Liras, something like 25 US. You're better off staying in Antalya itself. You can grab a Havas bus there to go to the airport.
Apart from this, this hotel had no warm nor hot water. The manager told me that they have hot water in the middle of the day. So if you are visiting Antalya or are at the beach in the hot temperature, you'd have to be back before 7pm in order to shower? Anyway.. I never had hot water there and had to wash my baby in cold water. The hotel cost me about 26 Euros. This is a very high price for a hotel with this quality. It boasts a 3.5 stars and the pictures on the site do not reflect reality. There were bugs everywhere, including in the breakfast food, moths, flys and huge mosquitos. The other hotels I stayed at were not like this and they were cheaper.
My room looked like it was under construction. The carpet needs to be changed everywhere in the hotel, the bathroom sink was slanted and off the pedestal. The calking in the bathroom was coming off and patched. The door frame had holes as if it had been hammared into. The shelves in the bathroom and the hooks were not usable, they were barely hanging and slanted. The staff was discriminating prices between locals and tourists at the breakfast buffet. I understand Turkish and a Turkish man asked for a 1.5L bottle of water and handed the waiter money, the waiter replied, "This is not necessary!" And the man gave it to him anyway. I later asked for a small bottle of water and he said, "Sure madam but just to tell you before, this is not included."
The only thing I can positively say is that the manager wasn't that bad, he tried to help but he couldn't, you cannot make water hot if your heating is solar based. Next time, I will stay in Antalya.

Unique Quality: There was a pool but it was shaded at 3pm by the building. This was in June.
There are no great views.
The hotel needs major renovations.
