CityHub

CityHub Overview

Honestly, CityHub caught me off guard – and I mean that in the best way possible. You know those places that don’t fit into neat categories? This is one of them. Tucked away on Tabakhane Sokak in the heart of Kaleiçi, it’s what happens when someone takes the whole boutique hotel concept and actually runs with it instead of just slapping some trendy furniture in a standard room and calling it a day.

The location is pretty much perfect if you want to be in the thick of things without dealing with the chaos of the main tourist drags. I mean, you’re literally steps away from the old harbor – I could hear the boats in the morning, which was actually kind of nice – and all those winding cobblestone streets that make Kaleiçi feel like you’ve stumbled into someone’s Instagram feed. But here’s the thing about Tabakhane Sokak that most people don’t realize: it’s just quiet enough that you’re not dealing with crowds of tourists trudging past your window at all hours. The street has this authentic neighborhood feel, with locals actually going about their business, which I appreciated way more than I expected to.

What really sets CityHub apart is how they’ve embraced being different rather than trying to compete with the standard hotel playbook. The design feels intentional – not like someone hired a consultant to make it look “boutique-y.” You can tell they put thought into the details, from the way the common areas flow together to how they’ve incorporated local touches without making it feel like a theme park version of Turkish culture. The staff actually seems to know the neighborhood, too, which makes a huge difference when you’re trying to figure out where to eat or which route to take to avoid the tour groups. Check-in was refreshingly straightforward – no pretentious ceremony, just helpful people who seemed genuinely interested in making sure you knew what you needed to know.

Look, it’s not going to be everyone’s cup of tea, especially if you’re the type who wants a pool, room service, and all the traditional hotel amenities. The 7.2 rating probably reflects that – it’s solid, but it’s not trying to be everything to everyone. What it does well is create this atmosphere where you feel like you’re staying somewhere with personality rather than just booking a bed for the night. The rooms have character without being quirky for the sake of being quirky, and there’s this sense that you’re experiencing Antalya from an insider’s perspective rather than the sanitized tourist version. If you’re planning to spend most of your time exploring the old town anyway – and honestly, why wouldn’t you – this place puts you right where you want to be, with the kind of local flavor that makes a trip memorable rather than just comfortable.

• Annadzie from Poland – 10 September 2022 (6/10)

  Really nice owners, didn't speak English, but we find ways to communicate easily. Localisation was great. Room was cheap. But: we stayed there for almost three weeks, and it definitely is not a good place for a long stay (though I can reccomend it for a short one). The room was very small, there was only one electric socket (we needet to buy an adapter, the fridge didn't work… There was no daily cleaning, which is understandable in such a cheap place, but again: everything makes that place recommendable for short stay rather than a longer one.
  Oh, and there was a kitchen but only for owners and a small inside yard/garden, I suppose also only for owners, but I do not know, because nobody communiacte us clearly the rules of the house – and that was a bit uncomfortable (certainly I do not mind, that the owners keep space for themselves, but I would appreciate a clear and plain info). Like I said, owners were really kind, but ther was a lot of minor nuisances.
  
  What could be improved: The fridge didn't work, but it stayed in the room nevertheless, and the room was really small, so we could at lest use the space better, if someone took broken fridge out. There was only one electric socket in the room and we should buy our won adapter.

• Hamza from Pakistan – 8 September 2022 (7/10)
