Olbia Residence Hotel

Olbia Residence Hotel Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to the Olbia Residence Hotel on Akdeniz Boulevard, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star place. But you know what? Sometimes the unassuming spots surprise you the most. This place sits right where the action is on Konyaaltı Beach, and I mean *right there* – you can practically roll out of bed and onto that gorgeous stretch of pebbled coastline that locals actually prefer over the touristy spots further east.

The thing about staying here is you’re getting the real Antalya experience without the resort bubble nonsense. Walk five minutes in either direction and you’ll hit the kind of cafés where Turkish families go for Sunday breakfast, not just the places with English menus. The hotel itself? Well, it’s got that lived-in feel that actually works in its favor – everything’s clean and functional, but there’s character in the slightly worn lobby tiles and the way the staff genuinely remembers your name after day two. The rooms are bigger than you’d expect (I mean, where else are you fitting a proper sitting area in a 3-star these days?), and honestly, the air conditioning works like a dream, which matters more than fancy marble when it’s 35 degrees outside.

What really sold me on this place was stumbling back from dinner one evening and hearing actual Turkish music drifting from the hotel’s little bar area – not the sanitized hotel playlist stuff, but someone’s uncle playing guitar while guests from three different countries somehow ended up sharing a table. The location means you’re walking distance from the cable car up to Tunektepe if you want those Instagram-worthy sunset shots, but you’re also close enough to the old marina that you can grab a proper Turkish breakfast for a fraction of what the beachfront hotels charge. Parking’s actually manageable here too, which anyone who’s driven in Antalya will tell you is worth its weight in gold. Sure, you might hear some street noise if you’re a light sleeper – this is a real neighborhood, not some isolated resort compound – but that’s part of what makes it feel authentic. The 8-rating this place pulls isn’t because it’s trying to be something it’s not; it’s because it does exactly what it promises really, really well.

• Eleonora from Uzbekistan – 23 August 2023 (9/10)

  Отличное месторасположение отеля, можно пешком дойти до аквариума Анталии, ТЦ Мигрос 5М, музея Анталии. Пляж через дорогу. Много транспорта во все концы города. Куча кафешек и супермаркетов по близости.
  Персонал был весьма вежливый, убирались и меняли полотенца каждый день.
  
  What could be improved: Отель не самый свежий, не помешал бы хороший ремонт, но всё это компенсируется прекрасным видом из окна.

• Zekri from Germany – 31 July 2023 (7/10)

  Die Lage war gut.
  
  What could be improved: Für denn Preis ok.

• Mohammed from United Kingdom – 8 May 2023 (8/10)

  Excellent location, good breakfast. The room was spacious with sea view. The manager Ahmet was lovely and willing to help us with recommendations of places to go and eat in Antalya. Would definitely recommend for families.

• Stanislav from Latvia – 9 November 2022 (8/10)

  Расположение Отличное. Гостиница далеко не новая.
  
  What could be improved: Рядом ресторан с живой музыкой. Клиентов почти нет осенью, но зачем-то поют играют до часа ночи.

• Artem from Russia – 16 July 2022 (8/10)

  We had two room: one on the sea side (the view was amazing), another one was without a remarkable view. The hotel manager Hamdi surrounded us with care and helped us with all requests (we had a lot 🙂
  
  The breakfast was ok.
  
  What could be improved: The internet connection is almost non-existent. I needed internet for work and was not able to use Zoom and even load web pages. I spent a fortune on mobile internet during my week long stay.
  
  The rooms were a bit outdated. There were kitchen but without any kitchenware. The kitchen was equipped with a kettle and tree paper cups (we were provided with everything we needed on request, though)
  
  The hotel is a bit soulless. A few nice cushions and a picture on a wall could’ve made hotel more appealing.

• Saud from Pakistan – 14 July 2022 (3/10)

  location is good
  
  What could be improved: unfriendly staff. no kitchenette (mentioned in room description). no ac in walkways, lobby, reception. staff only says no to every question. very small single lift.

• Anton from Russia – 18 June 2022 (7/10)

  Отличное расположение возле пляжа, бассейн на территории отеля
  
  What could be improved: Не сразу было понятно как попасть в здание отеля, потекла сплит-система, но ее оперативно починили
