Holiday Inn ANTALYA - LARA by IHG

This is a great value premium hotel near Lara Beach, a step up from a typical Holiday Inn in China, comparable to a Crowne Plaza. The dining is convenient, service is good, and transportation in the area is also very accessible. If you enjoy Lara Beach, you might consider staying a night here. Compared to the luxurious hotel clusters further east, it's a practical and reliable choice for those not looking to show off.

I'm someone who's never given a bad review for a hotel before, but this is my first truly terrible one. This was by far the worst hotel I stayed at during this trip. First, the bed was incredibly, incredibly, incredibly soft – you just sank right into it, and even turning over was a struggle. If you can't stand soft mattresses, definitely proceed with caution. Second, there were no outlets on either side of the bed; I had to plug my devices in on a distant table, which was extremely inconvenient. Third, there was a strange odor, and the air felt stagnant and poorly ventilated. While you could see the sea from the small balcony window, every room has that, and it's really just a distant view. Plus, getting to a supermarket or finding a place to eat nearby was very inconvenient. In summary, for such a high price, I strongly advise everyone to think twice, and then think again!

I chose this hotel based on reviews and its affiliation with a well-known chain. Overall, it's not bad. I liked the room style, and the mattress was very soft, so I slept well. It's great that there's a balcony where you can watch planes fly by in the evening. It wasn't noisy at all, and it didn't disturb my sleep. We didn't try the food at the hotel restaurant, as the selection didn't appeal to us. We also didn't find anything appetizing at the buffet, and for the same price, we had an excellent meal at a restaurant near the hotel instead. The hotel's location is close to the airport, making it suitable for those using it as a transit point. There's a rooftop pool, but it was too cold, so we didn't swim. As for the downsides, there was only one tea bag in the room and no complimentary water. When I asked about water, I was directed to the bar. We ended up buying water at the supermarket. I'd give the hotel a generous 3 out of 5, it just lacks a certain warmth. We probably won't stay here again; we'll look for somewhere else.

I felt very comfortable during my stay at the Holiday Inn Antalya Lara. The cleanliness and friendly service particularly impressed me. The room was well-maintained and well-equipped, and the location was also good for me. Overall, a very pleasant stay – I would gladly recommend the hotel!

Not a modern hotel in a very boring location. I regretted booking it. The only plus for me was the very soft mattress. Some people might not like it, but I slept well. You can also hear planes flying in to land.

Excellent in every way, except the room was a bit small! Cleanliness: Very clean, and the cleaning staff were lovely and welcoming. Facilities: Everything is new, and the shower water is filtered and clean.

Cleanliness, pleasant rooms, shuttle to the beach, swimming pool, exclusive beach area. This wasn't our first stay at this hotel. But I'd especially like to highlight the responsive, friendly, and attentive staff. They helped me several times; early check-in and late check-out due to a delayed flight were handled without any issues or extra charges. A staff member brought me food and noticed I had a cut finger, then brought me a band-aid. Incredibly caring and kind people. Thank you!
