Villa Tulipan Hotel - Antalya

The Villa Tulipan was a bit difficult to find, but it was a great little hotel. It is very close to the harbor and a small beach that is through a restaurant. It is also close to a very helpful merchant that will point you in the right direction and then try to sell things to you later.

You ring the bell and when the owner opens the door, you are greeted by him, his assistant, and a very friendly dog. The rooms are all upstairs. There is no elevator here, so it might be difficult for some older people or people with really heavy baggage. Our room was cozy without being tiny. The view was very nice as well. The bathroom might be a problem for some people. It is one of the smallest we have encountered, and we used to live in Korea. It isn't a big deal as long as you aren't picky.

The breakfast is a standard Turkish breakfast. They don't have boiled eggs, but they will fry some up for you. They will also hold baggage all day, which they did for us. A transfer to the bus station only costs 25 lira. It's a nice luxury to treat yourself to if your bus leaves at night the way ours did. The Villa Tuilpan is a nice place for those who aren't picky. It isn't really a true budget hotel, but it is only a step or two above one.
