Inacceptabil si scump, nu si merita cele 5 stele.
Pros:

Micul dejun a fost ok. Si locație buna. Dar mai trebuie alternate mancarurile gatite,

Cons:

Aceleasi feluri de mancare dimineața, oua fierte., ochiuri. Carnati in sos, cartofi fierti. Foarte multa galagie in hotel si ziua si nosptea, nu te puteai odihni, zero respect ptr mine ca si musafir, de dimineata pina seara zgomote de bagaje, masini de gaurit peretii, praf peste tot, neatentie la aranjarea meselor in sala de mese, tacamuri asezare pe scaun , apoi puse pe masa, neigienizate, prietena mea a facut indigestie de la mancare

Ich Emphehle dieses Hotel nicht. Die Preise sind zu hoch für diesen Service! Menschen due sich im urlaub ârger sparen mö
Pros:

Zentrale Lage, Freundliche Personal, Thermalwasser

Cons:

Die Zimmern sind wie aus der zweiten weltkrieg. Viele zimmern sind immer noch mit Teppichboden ausgestattet. Stinkt wie was weiß ich was! 😏 selbst die Flur zum spa und Thermalbad stinkt.
İm spa und thermal bereich gibt es hohe rutsch gefahr.
Das Hotel ist für das was Angeboten wird Extrem Teuer. Niemals 5 Sterne Hotel. Verdienst nicht mehr als zwei Sterne.. Abendessen und Frühstück kann Mann in die Mülltonne Kippen. Simit ist das einzige was Schmeckt. Drei mal zimmer getauscht und jedes mal das selbe. Nicht Empfehlenswert!!! Das Hotel ist auch noch überfüllt. Kaum zu glauben aber war. İch verstehe das nicht 🤦‍♂️

Pros:

Понравился только бассейн

Cons:

Отель совершенно не соответствует своей категории. Просто место переночевать для посетителей Паммукале. Ужаснейшая еда , особенно завтрак. В номере кондиционер направлен прямо вам в голову. Вообщем не рекомендую

Nice Quiet Hotel with Sauna, Indoor and Outdoor.
Pros:

Close to Pamukkale Thermal Pools. A bit old facility, but quiet and nice low-storied hotel. Circular "donut" hotel and the middle "hole" has a garden a pool and sauna. It has both indoor and outdoor sauna pools connected. Very nice. Not hot or warm to my liking, but it is warm enough. The towels are provided at the entrance to the pool/sauna. Do not bring the towels from your room. We stayed at first level, but quite far from the lobby. It is a long walk to the lobby and the dining hall. Nice hotel with many services. Will visit again.

Just ok
Pros:

The hotel has aged and now routinely services the countless tourist coaches that tour close by. Dinner and breakfast were vast buffets of reasonable food. Would only visit again if I was on a similar coach tour.

Bedrooms could do with a deep clean.

How on earth is this a five-star hotel?!
Pros:

Location is great for visiting Hierapolis and Pammukale, especially if you are aiming to get there early before the crowds arrive. The initial impression on arriving is quite positive and the pools and outdoor dining area are very attractive. The hotel staff are friendly and welcoming. However, the condition of much of the hotel is poor and there are many signs of neglect. Stairs were in need of refurbishment with many cracked floor tiles. The bedroom and bathroom were not clean; the toilet was wobbly, fittings were crooked or broken and the shower door had obviously come off at some point, with holes left in the remaining glass sections; the shower itself leaked in various places and the water didn’t drain away. Food was ok but nothing special. Many of the dining room chairs were stained and we had to brush debris off them before sitting down for breakfast. Overall it felt like the management were trying to avoid spending any money on the fabric of the hotel. We have been impressed by the three other hotels we have stayed at on this trip; this one is clearly below the standard which modern Turkish hotels are aspiring to.

Average hotel
Pros:

It is a hotel that is not excellent, but it is not bad either. The rooms look quite old, but they are clean and well organized. The common areas are good, the thermal pool looks a little old but it is not ugly. The buffet is something that should be improved.
In general is good but old hotel that is needing a modernization.

Lycus river thermal and spa hotel
Pros:

This stop was meant for the thermal pool There was an indoor warm pool and an outdoor pool too- The spa was not bad.
The hotel as I meant early is just for in out guests.
The guest comes back and sleep and early morning breakfast and nothing out of the way to give to the basic supply hotels. Nothing extraordinary.
