Afsin Hotel

Afsin Hotel Overview

Okay, so the Afsin Hotel is one of those places that doesn’t fit into neat categories – and honestly, that’s exactly why it works. You know how some hotels try so hard to be boutique that they end up feeling fake? This isn’t that. It’s tucked away in the Kuşkavaği neighborhood, which most tourists completely miss even though it’s still proper Antalya. I mean, you’re not in the old town maze of Kaleiçi, but you’re also not stuck in one of those massive resort complexes where you need a golf cart to find the lobby.

The thing about this place is that it actually feels like someone’s labor of love rather than a corporate investment. The owner – and I’m pretty sure I met him during check-in – clearly has opinions about how a hotel should run, and it shows in weird little ways. Like, the lobby has this mix of traditional Turkish elements and modern touches that shouldn’t work together but somehow does. The floors are these gorgeous local tiles that stay cool even when it’s blazing outside (which, let’s be honest, is most of the time in Antalya). What really got me was the attention to details you don’t expect – the bathroom fixtures are actually quality stuff, not the cheap plastic nonsense you get at chain hotels, and the bed linens feel like they cost more than my flight.

The location is sort of perfect if you want to feel like you’re experiencing real Antalya without being completely cut off from the action. You’ve got actual neighborhood cafes within walking distance where locals go for their morning çay, and there’s this little market nearby where you can grab fresh fruit without paying tourist prices. It’s quiet enough that you can actually sleep with the windows open – something I definitely couldn’t do when I stayed closer to the harbor area. The staff seems to genuinely care about whether you’re having a good time, which sounds like marketing speak but I mean it. When I asked about getting to the ancient sites, they didn’t just hand me a brochure – they actually drew a little map and explained which dolmuş routes would save me money. That 8.8 rating makes total sense once you’ve been there for a day or two. It’s not trying to be the fanciest place in town, but it nails all the things that actually matter when you’re traveling. Plus, and this might sound silly, but the whole place just feels… peaceful? Like, you can come back after a day of sightseeing and actually relax instead of fighting crowds in the elevator or dealing with pool noise until midnight.

Reviews of Afsin Hotel

• Елена from Russia – 26 May 2025 (9/10)

  Quiet street. Spacious room with a balcony. A varied breakfast. Friendly staff. The beach is a 10-minute walk away, and the main buses to the center are 5 minutes away. There are many cafes and shop around. Excellent price/location ratio.
  
  What could be improved: The only small discomfort is the proximity of the mosque and the wake-up call to prayer at 4 a.m. (but since we are traveling in Turkey, their national way of life is taken for granted :)). In winter pray time will be later.

• Alexander from Austria – 25 May 2025 (9/10)

  Very friendly staff. Good rooms. Easy but nice breakfast

• Akhlaq from United Kingdom – 12 May 2025 (8/10)

  Stayed for 5 nights, booked 2 double rooms single beds. Ahmet and Yasin were very friendly and good hosts. We can't thank them enough. Excellent service and hospitality. They took great care to respond to our requests, needs and questions.
  
  The hotel is just 5 minutes walk to the beach with lots of places to eat nearby. Supermarkets, pharmacy and restaurants next door and a masjid a few minutes walk which was very handy for me to visit for prayers. Breakfast buffet was great and very healthy.
  
  If you're a medical tourist, there are several clinics at the end of the road and Afsin hotel seems to be the place of choice for many!
  Overall a great experience. I would definitely book again for this price!
  
  What could be improved: It was generally a good experience and no complaints for the price we paid. A few noteworthy things I would think may not be easy to rectify.
  .
  Shower cubicle is very small with little room to move around when showering though the shower head can be adjusted so took a while but managed to get used to it. Toilet positioning is a little awkward near the cubicle doors so you may need to adjust your seating position a bit or open the shower door to make more space. Not a big issue but nevertheless can be slightly uncomfortable at first.
  
  Music playing in the evenings until midnight from a restaurant across the road was not very helpful but tolerable if you're a late sleeper. The pool was not available due to thunderstorms and rain from a few days before we arrived. This was a bit disappointing because we chose the hotel for the pool and local amenities though it was expected to be back in operation soon after we left.

• Ashley from United Kingdom – 8 May 2025 (9/10)

  Excellent Hotel, for the price you pay Yourll do
  Well to find better in Antalya, the STAFF are super friendly, Ahmet, Yaşen & Eken are the 3 guys who rotate reception duties amongst running the hotel and they are awesome, they always go out of there way to
  Ask if your okay, enjoying your stay and so on, and nothing is too much trouble, I originally booked this hotel for 11 nights in a double bed room but had to change to 8 nights due to flights, when I rebooked the hotel they only
  Had a twin room available “2 single beds”
  ,, It wasn’t to matter as it was my fault but as soon as I checked in Yasen mentioned it and said they can change my room to a double bed on Friday, so I had only 3 nights with the single bed, Fantastic. Not only are the 3 guys wonderful but the lady who done the housekeeping on my floor
  “3rd floor” was very nice, she didn’t speak English and I don’t speak Turkish but she’s always smiling and whenever I asked for something she would always oblige, even if it was through hand signals 🙂 The hotel
  Is kept super clean, the room is great, the bathroom is basic but serves its purpose, they probably should modernise it though because the rooms itself are lovely and decorated nicely. The air con also works well. Would I
  Recommend this hotel, 100% Yes, I stayed in Antalya in January at another hotel 1 mile from here, now that was also very good but out of the two this is my favourite and this is also
  Cheaper, and in a better location, with friendlier staff, a no brainer. Cheers for the stay guys, I’ll be back soon, 10/10
  
  What could be improved: Breakfast was very basic and not particulary catered for the British but thats to be expected in Antalya so best to keep your expectations low, the guy who makes the breakfast though is also very friendly though. Bonus Tip, You can ask for an orange juice which they pour out the back , and that is good.

• Mariia from United States – 29 April 2025 (9/10)

  The guy at the reception really cares about the guests. Can recommend this place to everyone!
  
  What could be improved: WiFi was lagging sometimes, I didn’t require it so it wasn’t a problem to me at all

  The location is great! Clean hotel with friendly staff

• Zeshahn from United Kingdom – 26 October 2024 (9/10)

  Afsin hotel is based in a safe, convenient and clean location, 10/10, beach is 5-6 mins walk, mosque is 3 minutes walk. I enjoyed my stay here. Don't expect a 5 star hotel but this hotel has everything you need – Breakfast, cold juice machine and tea/coffee 24/7 at your access free of charge, snacks vending machine, swimming pool + sun beds + ground floor shower/toilet, decent rooms with beds, good location, 24hr reception, shops and restaurants are on the doorstep, TV in the reception with nice seating area inside and outdoors. What more can any one want?. iken (the receptionist) is a good man and was very helpful to us on our stay i hope he becomes manager, he has the qualities of one.
