Good standard Turkish breakfast, prepared by Rosa, who added a variety of home prepared extras (borek, warm tomato mezze, pancakes, home cooked pastries, fresh pomegranate from her garden, crystallised orange). Rosa was a fount of knowledge and very helpful with a fairly good knowledge of English, she was there during the day and Suleiman covered the evening and night . Between us and Google Translate we did very well. The inner courtyard trees and flowers were a beautiful surprise. Location is excellent, 2 minutes to the main drag, and 2 minutes to the river where the ladies row you across to the other side...

This is a basic hotel, which we took to form the base for our budget holiday in the sun. It could do with some refurbishment, but at the end of the day it was only somewhere to sleep and have a breakfast - and it filled that criteria excellently, what's more, it came with a swimming pool!!!

Our room for the 2 weeks was comfortable. It would have been much better if there had been a fridge in the room. The bathroom did not have an actual shower, just the hand held hose, but we were very happy to have a bath, which was a luxury for us! Rosa was our cleaner and house keeper did everything herself, she worked tirelessly and always had a smile for us. She spoke little English but we were able to communicate with her well. She prepared the breakfast every day up on the roof terrace and sometimes would cook something Turkish to accompany the rest of a Turkish breakfast. Once breakfast was over, she would clean the rooms, wash bedding all alone with no help. The owner (Selam) who also owns the hotel next door, was always available, but he had no spoken English, but we found that he would always put his mobile phone onto Google translation. The hotel was right in the middle of town which was perfect for us, so near the shops, restaurants and the river. Good WiFi was available.

The swimming pool was right outside the front of the hotel, constantly in the shade. Other guests would slam their doors in the early hours, but this is no fault of the hotel.

Rosa, who is the main member of staff, is amazing. She goes above and beyond for the guests, washing clothes, finding a mini fridge for our room, and cooking breakfast. The rooms were a perfectly functional size and clean. Breakfast was always fresh and in abundance, with the addition of fruit from Rosa's garden.

Air conditioning could be a bit noisy

The location is perfect..at the heart of Dalyan near the river and the ancient tombs The hospitality from Mr Sulayman and Rosa was top notch even though they don't speak English but they do everything to help you and make you feel welcomed

Perfect location 2mins walk to the river or centre of town. Room was a bit worn but great value for money overall. Roof terrace had decent views and nice place to chill out. Loved the scent of flowers throughout the courtyard area. Room was clean with a balcony overlooking the pool and street.

Breakfast was OK but spoilt by the bee's and wasps being allowed to get to the uncovered food.

Location, cost, air conditioning and breakfast were all excellent. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. There was a roof terrace for breakfast and relaxing and a small pool

The hotel is basic but clean. If someone wants four stars they need to look elsewhere but having travelled around Turkey many times, we were happy with our choice

This accomodation is traditional and rustic Turkish style. We loved it but it is basic but is very good value for money. It gives you a feel for the original type of Turkish accomodation. The breakfast was also traditional and was served with love by the cook/waitress who looked after us all with great care. Ugur who manages the property was also very helpful. Other guestes we met had returned year on year because they loved it so much.

Hotel Donmez provided an excellent accommodation experience with the family-like friendliness of the workers and the owner. I went there with my mom, and she quickly made a lovely friendship with the owner lady, Muesser Hanim. This nice-natured smiling lady was very heartwarming and made us feel at a friend's home. Ugur bey, the receptionist, has taken good care of us from the moment we arrived at the hotel until the very last moment. When he learned that we needed to stop by Kusadasi the day we left the hotel, he arranged our bus tickets the night before through the internet, which I couldn't have been able to find a ticket to such a destination on my own. Overall we left this place quite pleased and with warm feelings. My mom wants to return as soon as possible, probably with a same-aged friend. This vacation at Hotel Donmez has well given the hints of a family place, calmness but yet it was full of adventures; the last evening, when we came back from the beach, we found a group of women drunk on raki at the garden of the hotel and they were singing and dancing to local Turkish music... it was possible to drink at the bar of the hotel and join them, and so we did. It was lots of fun. I am planning to visit again and highly recommend this lovely place to anyone looking for a nice rest and a cultural experience.

Thank you, Suleiman Bey! Great attitude and great service. We felt like family members. Just 2 minutes walk from the heart of Dalyan city and yet quiet and peaceful. Only 5 minutes walk from the harbour. Best location and best host! We will come back!

The AC was a bit noisy.

Cheapest property in Dalyan, with breakfast, swimming pool and perfect location, right in the center next to all the restaurants and shops. The room has air conditioning and balcony.

It’s an old hotel, quite dated that needs maintenance in details. Wi-Fi was not very good, beds are a bit uncomfortable and breakfast was a bit poor.
