Read moreThe DNA hotel has beaten all our expectations for service quality.||Right from the meeting at the gate to unloading our bags off the bus to then entering the room. |The room is clean, modern and fresh with pillows and a bed that provide a peaceful night's rest, the air-conditioning works silently in the background. The room came with added extras all FOC, a kettle with coffee, cups and milk. The bathroom had fresh towels including pool towels each day and some small bottles of shower gel, body lotion shampoo and conditioner. The shower was great, it had 2 shower heads one a powerful head and the second an amazon rain fall shower head. |Wifi works well in and out of the hotel room. |We were on the ground floor and the patio doors led immediately onto the pool, it felt like we had a swim up room.|The breakfast was plentiful, with lots of filtered coffee, tea and juices, fresh fruit and cheeses with eggs either boiled or scrambled. ||The hotel is around 10mins flat walk to the town, you do pass two supermarkets and 2 resteraunts if you do not wish to walk into town one evening. |Dalyan has everything you need for a great week away and abundance of resteraunts and bars plus lots of "genuine fake shops" some great river boat trips too. ||In summary :|The greatest feature of this hotel is the staff.

If this hotel was a 5star hotel it would still not be enough stars, as personality and friendliness counts for more than stars. Will we...
Read moreWhat a week we have had at the DNA Hotel in Dalyan.

The staff at the hotel were so attentive, we hardly had to lift a finger, nothing was a problem, the whole hotel was immaculate and kept clean & spotless. |Breakfast was lovely, varied and plentiful.|There were plenty of sun beds (very comfy) & seats round the pool, pool towels were also available which was great. |Location was perfect, 10 minute wander in to the main town , lots of cafes, bars and restaurants to choose from. |No big problem for any of us with mosquitos, we got a couple of bites but nothing major, we did spray ourselves at night and wear ‘Pestects’ wristbands .|We went on a boat trip which took us down the river to the sea, we saw turtles on the way back, that was a great day out! Highly recommend. We also visited the local market on Saturday , taxi ride or 25 minute walk, too hot to walk in the sun at 40 degrees |Thank you to all at the DNA Hotel , we would highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for a relaxing chilled vibe in a great location with fabulous staff…....
