Seden Hotel

“ Enjoyed my stay, however there is a serious lack of variety for lunch & dinner menu. If you are vegetarian be prepared to eat salad all the time, but there is no protein to go with it. Having said that the price I paid allowed for a few meals out.

“ Top Tip: Easy walk into Hisaronu and cheap dolmus ride into Olu Deniz.

“ Nice very clean hotel, set against a spectacular scenic backdrop. Freindly staff always willing to go out of the way to help; however an improvement in communicating in english wouldn't go amiss.
Choice of food was a bit limited, but most food was cooked to a good standard.
Pool side was excellent the pool itself was very clean and there were no shortage of sun beds.

Thanks to all the staff at the Otel Seden for a great holiday!

“ Top Tip: A Great breakfast for 5 Tl was served at Nemrut restaurant in hisaronu, located oppostite the turkish baths and above the lemon tree restaurant.The staff there were very friendly and chatty.
Booked a trip to Dalyan to goto mud baths see turtles and other sights, excellent day out. well worth the £14 each we spent on the trip. The travel guide Atti was completely mad and had us laughing most the trip. This was booked with Pioneer Travel in Hisaronu. Thank you Pioneer travel for a great day out!

“ We love Turkey & this area especially & have visited many times & even stayed twice before at this hotel when B&B they just cannot cope with AI. This hotel could be a lovely place to stay but it is ruined by bad Management & lazy, insolent,leery young staff who actually seem to be the ones on holiday. They would rather be swimming in the pool,playing pool or chatting up any woman available. They constantly asked for tips but did not want to give good service.
The rooms are basic but clean though we did have some marked & ripped bedding..not good.
The food was ok if a little repetitive & not always hot. The cups were all but a few chipped. Breakfast was between 8:30-10:00 but at 9:00 on one occasion the eggs were finished. The juice machine was also not maintained. The table cloths were not changed in the 11 nights we stayed there.
Sadly over the first weekend the Manager allowed the sister hotel to be overbooked whilst ours was pretty empty. Travellers arrived in the middle of the night & were told that the Akdeniz was overbooked & they had to stay at the Seden for 2-5 nights they were fuming & stormed to their rooms waking other residents then the next days sat by our pool stating what a dump we had booked to stay in. That made for a real good atmostphere.
The pool bar was often not manned.There was a general reluctance to serve drinks despite the AI tag. All bar stools & tables previously donning the pool area since AI have been removed, we were told the Manager wanted us to go out of the hotel as much as possible & we would stay in & drink if the chairs & tables were there. The drink choice was limited but ok. After 23:00 hrs you had to pay for drinks but no tarriff was dsplayed & the young barmen did their best to intimidate you bringing in their friends to hang around the bar as they wanted to go clubbing everynight. One evening at 22:45 there was no barman at 23:05 he reappeared requesting payment for any further drinks. Another night as they wanted to go out they said bar now closed at 23:00. They were also laughing & talking behind our backs very obviously with Turkish guests, well they couldn't speak much English in the first place especially when you asked them for something that they could not be bothered to do. When upset one barman Barish sulked ,slammed drinks,plates & furniture & actually made us consider leaving the hotel for our last few days as the atmostphere became unbearable. He even wrote a note asking another guest to fight him. Sadly the Manager did not seem much older & couldn't Manage himself. As we were leaving they all managed to come out & hug us to again request tips..Sorry I dont understand was our reply.
We love Turkey & hate to think that a first time traveller would think this is typical & not return. We have met some lovely people during our stay & will definitely be back but not the The Seden as we do not think this will be altered any time soon for the better.

“ Top Tip: Hisaranou is a great place to stay with a wealth of good bars & restaurants with something for everyone. We love The Eski Bar, covktails are great. Bella Mamas Italian,Dippy Dolly's 40TL for 3 course meal & a bottle of wine for 2 diners, do not be put off by the name food & service great. Fethiye, Olu Deniz & Ovacik also have a great deal to offer & easily reached via dolmus.
The only problem you will find in this area is where to go next as so much choice.

“ Nice clean tidy wee hotel,good food,very repetative tho. Good 10_15mins walk into main centre of hisaronu. No entertainment at all...great bar man john who is friendly with guests... nice pool,but they play same music every day which can be annoying...but all in all enjoyed the relaxation,and fantastic weather...would go back no probs

“ Top Tip: You can walk to olu deniz if you feel fit,takes about 35mins
