Boho Oldtown Apart

Boho Oldtown Apart Overview

You know what struck me first about Boho Oldtown Apart? It’s tucked away on this narrow cobblestone street—Kandiller Sokak—that honestly feels like you’ve stumbled into someone’s private neighborhood rather than a touristy hotel zone. I mean, you’re still right in the heart of Kaleiçi, but there’s something quieter about this particular corner, maybe because the street’s just wide enough for one car (good luck if two try to pass each other).

The whole place has this authentic bohemian vibe that actually lives up to its name, which is refreshing since half the “boho” places I’ve stayed in just throw some macramé on the wall and call it a day. Here, you’ve got these restored Ottoman-style apartments with original stone walls and wooden shutters that creak just right when the Mediterranean breeze picks up in the evenings. The owner clearly put thought into the details—I’m talking hand-picked vintage furniture, local ceramics scattered around, and these gorgeous kilim rugs that probably have better stories than most travelers. Each apartment feels different too, not like some cookie-cutter setup where every room is identical.

What I really appreciated was how walkable everything is from here. You can literally stumble out the front door and be at Hadrian’s Gate in about three minutes, or wander down to the old harbor where all those wooden gulet boats bob around (though fair warning—it gets pretty crowded down there around sunset when everyone’s trying to get that perfect Instagram shot). The narrow streets can be a bit maze-like at first, but honestly, getting lost in Kaleiçi is half the fun. There’s this little tea garden just around the corner that the hotel folks recommended—locals actually hang out there, not just tourists, which tells you something about the neighborhood.

Parking is… well, it’s what you’d expect in a historic old town. Basically impossible right at the hotel, but there’s a public lot about a five-minute walk away. The staff will give you directions and honestly, you’ll probably want to ditch the car anyway since everything worth seeing is within walking distance. Check-in was smooth—no waiting around in some sterile lobby, just a quick chat about the best breakfast spots nearby and where to find decent coffee that doesn’t cost a fortune.

The 8.1 rating feels about right to me. It’s not luxury in the marble-and-gold sense, but it’s got character and charm that you just can’t manufacture. Some of the apartments are definitely showing their age in places—a loose tile here, a temperamental shower there—but that almost adds to the authentic feel. You’re staying in a piece of history, not a modern hotel that happens to be in an old building. If you’re the type who needs everything pristine and predictable, this might not be your spot. But if you want to feel like you’re actually experiencing Antalya rather than just visiting it, this place gets it right.

Reviews of Boho Oldtown Apart

• Maria from United Kingdom – 3 January 2025 (9/10)

  Good location. Taxi stand is outside apartment near the main road.
  The apartment was exactly liked it was in the photo and well equipped.
  We loved the choice of nearby restaurants.
  
  What could be improved: You can hear music from nearby bar but this didn’t bother us, the apartment is in the centre so we expected it to be lively.

• Pavo from Austria – 17 November 2024 (7/10)

  Die Größe und Aufteilung des Apartments, stylische Küche, bunte Wände, hübsche Details, hell und freundlich, perfekte, zentrale Lage in der Altstadt, traditionelles Haus, Kommunikation mit dem Vermieter per WhatsApp, der Wasserspender in der Küche war total super, er wurde auf Nachfrage prompt und kostenlos nachgefüllt, 3 Klimaanlagen, gutes WLAN, problemloser Check-in und Check-out
  
  What could be improved: Leider nicht gut gepflegt. Warmwasser kommt erst nachdem mindestens 5 Minuten das Wasser läuft und es spritzt in alle Richtungen. Wenn man das Warmwasser nachjustiert, muss man wieder warten, bis Warmwasser kommt. Wir haben das reklamiert. Der Mitarbeiter hat sofort gewusst, was los ist!!! Sie wissen genau Bescheid und reparieren das nicht!? Die Handbrause ist unbedingt zu tauschen, Hand- und Badetücher wurden 9 Tage nicht gewechselt, auch die Bettwäsche nicht, das Apartment wurde zwischendurch nicht gereinigt, 3 Rollen WC-Papier für 2 Leute. Nachtschrank nicht zu öffnen, es gibt keinen Griff, ein Stück Holz ist aus der Eingangstür ausgebrochen, ein großer unappetitlicher Fleck auf dem Sofa, kein Geschirrtuch, kein Küchenschwamm, im Eingangsbereich stehen Putzmittel herum, usw… jedes für sich eine kleinere oder größere Kleinigkeit, aber in Summe doch störend! Schade. Die Wohnung wäre mit etwas mehr Pflege ganz toll 🙂

• Darryl from United States – 5 August 2024 (9/10)

  The location was perfect! The beds were comfortable and the place was clean. The staff was welcoming and attentive to ensure we enjoyed our stay.

• Anna from Ukraine – 22 July 2024 (9/10)

  В квартире было все необходимое. Мебель вся новая и чистая.
  
  What could be improved: Несмотря на то, что для жизни вся мебель есть, при заселении не было мыла, Геля для душа, таблеток в посудомойке. По запросу хозяева все принесли.

• Olga from Turkey – 4 July 2024 (2/10)

  Central location.
  All in all apartment looks good and stylish.
  Kitchen is relatively big and probably would be comfortable for cooking.
  
  What could be improved: Noise is terrible. It felt like being in the centre of night club.
  Very loud music till 1 AM at night.
  Impossible to sleep!
  We were super tired and couldn’t get rest before our flight.
  I was travelling with my mom, who is elder person, and sleepless nights impacted her health negatively. I was considering changing the place to sleep.
  Also when we arrived it seemed like no one was expecting us to come. We had to wait outdoors so that apartment could be prepared.
  I was asked to pay, even though Payment was done with Booking. So I was trying to explain the situation and show my reservation.
  
  All in all it felt like clean, especially kitchen, but towels were wet. Bathroom is really small. Chairs need cleaning, there were visible dark spots.
  
  There was no communication through booking, no one responded my message and I didn’t have any other contact person.

• Heather from Australia – 4 July 2024 (5/10)

  The location
  
  What could be improved: The noise from the disco downstairs that Boho hosted late into the night. The music is so loud that the building vibrates this went on for 4 out of 5 nights that we were there for. There was no information on the Booking.com site regarding this. The rooms are NOT sound proof. The furniture is not comfortable in general; the kitchen is ill equipped- not a dishcloth or tea towel; the couches are too low and uncomfortable; the kitchen bench – unable to sit at it as no leg room; the towels were brand new but never been washed – not very absorbent. Claims to be luxury accommodation – it is not; the entry foyer is untidy and full of cleaning equipment

• Fatima from United Kingdom – 29 June 2024 (9/10)

  Amazing location near hadrians gate, beautiful modern apartment with AC, washing machine, all kitchen appliances. Host Kaan was absolutely brilliant very accommodating and easily reachable via WhatsApp. Would definitely stay here again.
