Mielo Lara Hotel

Mielo Lara Hotel Overview

Honestly, I wasn’t expecting much when I first pulled up to Mielo Lara Hotel – I mean, there are so many places in this part of Antalya that look decent from the outside but turn out to be pretty forgettable. But this one actually surprised me in the best way. The location on 2053 Sokak puts you right in the heart of Lara without being stuck on one of those crazy busy main drags where you can’t sleep at night. You know what I love about this spot? You’re literally a five-minute walk from Lara Beach, but you’re tucked away enough that you don’t get all the street noise from the beachfront hotels.

The staff here – and I’m usually pretty skeptical about Turkish hospitality claims because, let’s be real, some places just go through the motions – they actually seem to care. Check-in was smooth (no weird deposit surprises), and the front desk guy gave me genuinely useful tips about avoiding the tourist traps down by the marina. The rooms are what you’d expect from a solid 4-star, nothing fancy but everything works properly. Air conditioning that actually cools the room, decent water pressure, and the beds are comfortable enough that I didn’t wake up feeling like I’d been wrestling with the mattress all night. I stayed during peak summer season and honestly thought it would be chaos, but the place runs pretty efficiently.

What really sold me on this place was the little things you don’t think about until they matter. The WiFi actually works throughout the building (not just in the lobby like some places), there’s proper parking that doesn’t cost extra, and the breakfast spread is way better than it needs to be – they’ve got local stuff mixed in with the standard hotel fare, which I always appreciate. The pool area gets busy around midday, but if you’re an early riser like me, you can basically have it to yourself until about 10 AM. The location means you’re close enough to walk to some really good local restaurants – there’s this little place about three blocks away that serves incredible pide that most tourists never find because it’s not on the main strip. I mean, sure, it’s not the fanciest hotel in Antalya, and if you’re looking for all the bells and whistles you might want to spend more money elsewhere. But for the price point and the fact that you get genuine service without feeling like you’re being hustled every five minutes? It’s a solid choice, especially if you actually want to experience a bit of the real Antalya instead of just staying in some isolated resort bubble.

Reviews of Mielo Lara Hotel

• Maria from United Kingdom – 1 June 2025 (9/10)

  Nice clean with friendly staff. Great value for money

• Evgeniia from Austria – 27 May 2025 (9/10)

  This is a very nice little hotel with friendly staff and good breakfast. It is a waking distance away from Düden waterfall and Fener beach. Small balcony in the room was a nice plus.
  
  What could be improved: Mosquitoes found me in the night and feasted on my left arm.

  I paid a very good price for what I got

• Marcin from Ireland – 18 May 2025 (8/10)

  Breakfast was very tasty and always served on time, at 8:00 and 10:00. It featured traditional Turkish cuisine, with plenty of dairy products and fresh vegetables. There were always scrambled eggs with vegetables as well as plain scrambled eggs without any additions.
  
  The property's location is very close to the coastal cliffs, and there are many restaurants and bars in the surrounding area. I felt safe throughout my stay.
  
  Not far from the hotel, there is a main road where you can find a bus stop offering inexpensive access to the city centre and all major tourist attractions.
  
  The hotel was clean, and the staff were friendly and helpful.
  
  What could be improved: My only remark concerns the shower area. Its open design, combined with the close proximity of the toilet, resulted in the toilet seat becoming wet after each use. Additionally, the water did not drain completely towards the floor drain. I believe this may be due to improper levelling of the shower floor.

• Burak from Netherlands – 13 May 2025 (6/10)

  location, size of the room.
  
  What could be improved: jacuzzi was not clean, room had no sound proofing.Air conditioner didn't work well

• Elge from Saudi Arabia – 6 May 2025 (6/10)

  The location of the hotel was good for the treatment that I have booked. Close to the main road and local restaurants. The Lady at the front desk was very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was basic and traditional Turkish.
  
  What could be improved: The AC in the room was not really working, and the shower was VERY small and tight for someone that is 1.79m tall and medium build. This hotel was good for 1 night/quick stopover.
