  Peaceful, friendly and comfortable.

  13 Oct 2026

  Husband and I have now visited Dalyan 4 times, staying in 4 different hotels and we are sure the Portakal is by far the best. Set in a lovely location on the riverside it is peaceful and charming with friendly helpful staff, clean comfortable rooms and close enough to Dalyan town centre to be a gentle walk of about 20-30 minutes. We were B&B and the breakfasts had a reasonable amount of choice. We had a snack lunch one day which was very nice.There are a large number of cats living in the hotel, the kittens are beautiful a sort of clouded tortoisehell and extremely friendly. We spent quite a lot of our time just petting these beauties.We had a ground floor room with a small covered terrace area. I had requested twin beds but none were available. However, the king size double was comfortable. The bathroom was quite large with a walk-in shower. There were two pairs of new towelling slippers in the wardrobe and a kettle and cups on the cabinet. Sleep quality was good.Unfortunately, and this was not a problem with the hotel, I tripped on broken paving slabs on the walk back from town on our 2nd evening. In the dark I did not see the hazard. I fell hard on my face, hands and knees. Fortunately some people walking behind us saw what happened and came to my aid, helping my husband to lift me up. A young couple in a car also stopped and very kindly drove us back to the hotel, where the staff rushed to help, washing the dirt and blood off and applying antiseptic cream. They were so very kind. In this part of Dalyan the roads are used by taxis, vans, motorcyclists and kids on scooters all of whom drive like its Formula 1, and the roads and pavements are very badly lit, it is very easy to miss your footing. We can thoroughly recommend it , despite being walking wounded! Finally, must thank Ayub and Ibrahim on Reception for their helpfulness at all times.

  Great hotel

  10 Oct 2026

  Our first time at the hotel portakal what a great experience it’s a family run hotel owned by Methap and Guneyt (apologies if I have got spelling incorrect) everybody at the hotel owners ,cleaning staff , restaurant workers, reception, and bar staff are so helpful.The hotel is beautiful clean and well kept. The rooms are large with big bathrooms , the lower floor have small terace with table and chairs leading onto a walkway to reception or pool and bar. The breakfast offering was good and restaurant was open for lunches from 12- 4. The hotel looks straight out onto the river with views to die for Special mention to the 3 bar staff Asat Mahmoud and especially Ramz who got great delight in telling me my end of night cocktail of raki fresh orange juice and lemonade was not rightWe highly recommend for a hotel in dalyan My wife and I will be back PORTAKAL MANAGEMENT, Owner at Portakal Hotel Dalyan, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a wonderful and detailed review! ??We are absolutely thrilled that your first stay with us at Portakal Hotel was such a memorable experience. Mehtap, Cüneyt, and our entire team—from housekeeping to reception, restaurant, and bar—are so grateful for your kind words.Knowing that you loved our riverside views, spacious rooms, and breakfast spread means the world to us. And we will certainly pass along your special shout-out to Asat, Mahmoud, and Ramazan! Ramazan especially had a great time preparing your signature end-of-night cocktail—even if he still insists that Raki, fresh orange juice, and lemonade is a very "unique" combination! ????It was a true pleasure hosting you and your wife. We are already looking forward to welcoming you both back home to Dalyan for another fantastic holiday!Warmest regards,The Portakal Hotel Team ??

  Highly recommend

  05 Oct 2026

  Everything was just perfect . I am a disabled woman so was concerned about my cases as we were on the 1st floor . The amazing young man on reception at night carried our cases up and down for my daughter and myself. The other staff were very helpful and friendly sorting taxis and information. Cleaners were efficient and friendly. I was worried that the hotel was a bit out of the way as I have trouble walking. But there are a few benches on road leading up to start of town so I could rest if I wanted to walk but getting taxis is very easy and there are many taxi ranks in town . Nice large rooms with comfy beds . Very quiet at night . Great value for the price paid . Lots of sunbeds no sunbed wars .pool has stairs to enter as well as ladder . The area around pool could get slippy but I just wore my sliders to edge of pool then held rail when getting in . Would visit again as a solo traveller as I felt very safe PORTAKAL MANAGEMENT, Owner at Portakal Hotel Dalyan, responded to this review Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed, thoughtful, and heartwarming review! ??Knowing that you felt fully supported, comfortable, and safe throughout your stay means everything to us. We will be sure to pass along your special praise to our night receptionist—he will be absolutely delighted to know his assistance made such a positive difference for you and your daughter.We are also thrilled that our accessible pool features, quiet atmosphere, and overall warmth made your holiday seamless. Your helpful notes about the walk into town will undoubtedly reassure future guests as well!It would be an absolute honor to welcome you back on your next journey—whether with family or as a solo traveler, you will always have a safe and welcoming home here with us in Dalyan.Warmest regards,The Portakal Hotel Team ??

Very friendly hotel with excellent service, rooms spacious and spotless, breakfast is a treat, and such a great location. 10 minute flat walk into town (more after Efes!)No hesitation in recommending, special thanks to owners and all staff, lovely holiday.

  Beautiful hotel

  01 Oct 2026

  Second time at this hotel and third booked. Extremely friendly with a beautiful pool area. No towels on the comfortable sun beds around the pool also some comfortable chairs and tables for relaxation if preferred. View to the river. Plenty of room around the pool and a lovely bar. Every single member of staff went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. Rooms and wardrobe space plentiful. We chose an upstairs room. There are no balconies but with the seating areas downstairs I don’t think you need one. The whole hotel is kept very clean. Breakfast delightful. 15 minute walk to the centre with many eateries on the way. All in all fabulous hotel. PORTAKAL MANAGEMENT, Owner at Portakal Hotel Dalyan, responded to this review Welcome back to your home in Dalyan! ??Knowing that this was your second stay—and seeing that a third one is already booked—is the greatest compliment our team could ever receive. Creating a relaxing, pristine, and welcoming haven for our guests is always our top priority, and knowing that every moment of your time here brought you comfort means the world to us.Thank you for your warm words, your loyalty, and for being such a wonderful part of our family. We are already looking forward to welcoming you back for your third visit!With warm wishes and warmest regards,The Portakal Hotel Team ??
