Hildegard Hotel

Having been to Antalya many times, 6 weeks previous being our last visit to Side and Kaleici and only ever choosing, small boutique hotels, this was our first visit to Alanya and we were very excited about our stay and after careful consideration we chose the Hildegard hotel.

I’m going to try and be very fair when reviewing this hotel so you at least know what to expect.

Positives: it’s obvious the owners have spent some serious money doing up the Hildegard hotel as rooms as new in design and very comfortable.

The hotel is approx 5 mins from the beach and main shopping street.

Set a few roads behind so should be pretty quiet.

Each room provided with a big half sized fridge for all your drinks and snacks.

The property also has a lovely and completely private balcony for each room.

Also a big flat screen tv in each room which you can attach your own Netflix to.

The negatives: I’m not sure this hotel knows who it’s clients are, it’s a small hotel set over 2 buildings with no more than 30 rooms.

Honestly I feel this hotel is more suited to anyone from the age of 17 to 23 at present, think your first lads holiday away.

It’s full of kids, the walks are paper thin so you hear them arguing, music playing, doors being slammed and even someone slapping down the stairs in flip flops at 1am.

Lads on scooters turning up to the hotel at 2am loud as anything and if you’re lucky enough to have a pool view, then at 8am the music and laughing and screaming starts again.

We moved rooms to the opposite side of the hotel with a street view for a bit more peace and quiet but obviously you get the kids coming and going at all hours.

No safe in the room, only at reception that you pay for.

Only 1 room card per room, even though there’s 2 of you travelling.

The air on was a joke as pretty much took an hour to cool the room down,

Finally the reception staff. 3 men, the night shift guy was an absolute gent, the day staff not so friendly ie the guy with hair was pretty much rude most days with no hello, didn’t even raise his head as you walked in or out of the hotel and he just made us feel uncomfortable.

Now this is by no means a five star hotel but it definitely has its positives. However for us, a holiday is meant to be relaxing and after 8 days we couldn’t wait to move onto our next location,

Unfortunately there would be no possibility of us even considering staying here again.
