Anatolia Hotel — Hotel in Pamukkale

Delicious Turkish breakfast (with different fruits each morning), and complimentary tea / coffee all-day - the apple tea mix is the best! Helpful staff; gave us these fantabulous thick wool blankets for the cool evenings.||The place is quite a bit far down the hill from the travertines compared to other accommodations. It's also a bit far from the shops and eateries at the town centre. There wasn't enough space in the room to hang our clothes (barely enough for the four of us, and the room was meant for five occupants), and the space overall was a bit tight with no room on the floor to lay open our luggages (used the spare beds instead). The door leading to the patio / pool area couldn't be locked so I'd say a bit of safety issue there. Oh, the bathroom / shower has a funky smell to it. Like sewage or something. It was clean, however.||The food in their restaurant is quite pricey so we didn't go for it. Though, my friends and I found a nice little family restaurant / convenience store right across the street. They treated us to their homegrown pomegranates! Lovely people; delicious home-cooked food. Be warned, a cat army will swarm your table (then again,...

Location The location is perfect, 10-12 minutes away from the center of Pamukkale and the below view of the "cotton fortress." Staff The owner and his staff are extremely friendly and helpful. He took our booking on short notice and ushered us to a freshly cleaned room. Room The poolside room would have received four stars - to small for five (not that you'll spend much time inside) - had it been painted more recently and with a newer, silent fridge. But the condition of a very nice pool and the pool area indicates they're investing, so this single objection may be history by next year. Aside from that, the room and the bathroom were spotlessly clean, the air-conditioner worked perfectly and the front terrace offers a fine relaxation area. Pool And the pool is great, large enough for a bit of swimming and cool even in the Pamukkale heat. The breakfast was basic but delicious and totally adequate. Recommendations A paint job and better lighting would take the room into the next category. Everything else was great at the price...
