Venüs Hotel

Venüs Hotel Overview

Look, I’ll be straight with you about Venüs Hotel – it’s not going to blow your mind, but honestly? Sometimes that’s exactly what you need. This little two-star spot sits tucked away on a quiet residential street in Gürsu, and I mean quiet. You’re about a 10-minute walk from the main Konyaaltı strip, which actually worked out perfectly for me because you get that neighborhood feel without being stuck in the middle of nowhere.

The first thing you notice walking up is how… well, unpretentious it is. No fancy lobby or marble floors – just a straightforward family-run place where the guy at reception actually remembers your name by day two. The rooms are clean and functional, nothing fancy, but the air conditioning works (crucial in Antalya summers, trust me), and the beds are surprisingly comfortable. I mean, I’ve stayed at supposedly fancier places where I couldn’t get a decent night’s sleep. The bathroom’s small but everything works, hot water’s reliable, and honestly – you’re probably going to spend most of your time outside anyway, right?

What I really appreciated was the location once I figured it out. You’re close enough to walk to Konyaaltı Beach without dealing with the parking nightmare near the main hotels, and there’s this little bakery just two blocks down that makes incredible börek in the mornings. The neighborhood has that lived-in feel where you’ll see families hanging laundry and kids playing in the street – it’s real Antalya, not tourist Antalya, you know? Plus, getting into the old town is easy from here; the dolmuş stops right at the corner and it’s maybe 15 minutes to Kaleiçi. The staff gave me actual directions (not just “take a taxi”), which I appreciated since I’m one of those people who likes to figure out the local transport.

Is everything perfect? Well, no – the WiFi can be spotty in the evenings when everyone’s online, and if you’re on the street side, you’ll hear some traffic in the mornings. But honestly, for what you’re paying, it’s solid value. The kind of place where you check in, drop your bags, and head out to explore without worrying about whether someone’s going to judge your sandy flip-flops in the lobby. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I was doing more of a local experience trip rather than a resort vacation. Sometimes you just want a clean, safe place to sleep that doesn’t cost a fortune – and that’s exactly what Venüs Hotel delivers.

  Staff absolutely lovely! Couldn’t help more
  
  What could be improved: Mattresses were not the best

• Stefan-nikola from Netherlands – 19 August 2024 (7/10)

  The room was nice and it exceeded our expectations. The beach was also really close and there were a lot of nice restaurants close by
  
  What could be improved: Didn't really have a balcony, only a window that you can lean on. Also the kitchen there didn't offer a lot of stuff and the internet connection is not great in all rooms

  Its peaceful environment and nearness to Beach and the Duden waterfalls
  
  What could be improved: Nothing

• Elena from Russia – 22 September 2023 (8/10)

  Very good location, close to the beach, shops and restaurants. We stayed in the hotel for one night before going to the airport.
  The room was clean. The window overlooked the yard and the house opposite. It was quite calm at night inspite of the fact that there are a lot of noisy pubs nearby.
  A person at the reseption was quite welcoming.
  I liked this hotel. It's a good value for money. But I wouldn't stay here longer than couple of nights.
  
  What could be improved: It was very smoky at the staircase area.

  Would l want to return to this hotel? In a word yes . Great location for buses , taxis , the beach promenade .
