It is a brilliant location on the river opposite the rock tombs for which the area is rightly famous. the owners and their staff were very friendly and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The breakfast was a basic Turkish fair but plenty of it and well served. Everything was spotlessly clean.
in honesty, it is overdue a makeover and the furniture and fittings were of a Turkish style of say 40/50 years ago in the main, the small bathrooms were newer, if you are happy to swim in the river it is ok but if not there is no pool.

Beautiful, quiet location and right on the river. The deck and the garden are excellent places to chill out, swim, or read a book. The extensive and tasty Turkish breakfast buffet is served at the same riverfront, if you’re lucky you can spot a happy looking Caretta sticking its head out of the water every now and then. Very friendly and attentive owners and staff. Rooms are on the small side but well equipped and fit for purpose. Would be very happy to return one day to this lovely place.

Superb location on the river in the middle of a lush garden. Very friendly owners and a peaceful relaxing atmosphere. Good breakfast on the banks of the river. A wonderful place to explore the Dalian Delta and the Istuzu beach.
Not meant as a critique but the rooms are very small and dark. If you have lots of luggage it is a bit of a challenge. The whole place lives from the outside settings, the beautiful garden, river and the friendliness of the owners. Not meant as an inside stay.

Just the loveliest little garden backing on to the river (you can swim!) and the nicest Turkish breakfast anywhere (I will come back just for the pişi!). The owners are chill and welcoming. An easy 10 mins walk puts you in the centre of town. The local boats can pick you up from the backyard.
There’s nothing not to like. It’s a basic bed and breakfast and the rooms are small and a bit dated (particularly the bathrooms), but perfectly comfortable.

We loved the lush garden setting and the relaxed seating overlooking the river with stunning views across to the ancient tombs. We liked the relaxed family atmosphere and the warm welcome we received from our hosts on arrival.

This hotel is in a beautiful location, on the river opposite the rock tombs. The gardens are beautiful, the staff are lovely and the whole place has a calm, tranquil vibe.
Nothing.

The best location you can stay in Dalyan. This is my second time in this hotel and everything looked better. Amazing views facing the rock tombs. Staff is very kind and helpful. Breakfast was good. Close to the town center. So peaceful and quiet in the night. Would recommend it.

Garden by the river was spectacular. It had a great view for ancient tombs. Breakfast was really good. Very friendly staff.
Everything was great but just our mattress was too firm

Exceptionally located on the river. In a quiet lane a little walk away from town. A very pretty garden to relax in. Boats to various trips can pick up and drop off directly from the hotel.
Nothing not to like, maybe the rooms may feel a little sparse for some.

The location where the breakfast was served was in a beautiful garden right on the river. Lots of fresh local produce, served by the beautiful family that owns the property.
