Little bit of cat paradise.
Excellent hotel. Small but very well maintained. Lovely rooms with slippers and toiletries provided. Lots of socket points and storage. Large bathroom with shower. Good beds with good bed linen and pillows. They also provide a kettle and cups. But no spoons or coffee etc so bring your own. The mini fridge does contain bottled water per person per stay. Buffet breakfast is not vast as no tea bags provided but there is cai on tap and coffee from machines. Water is from a cooler. On the plus side food is good and enough for everyone's taste. No egg guy but always eggs cooked and refilled frequently in small batches. Pancakes freshly made too. Loved that there was something different each day. Quality over quantity. All areas were kept spotless. Plenty of sun loungers. Also lovely area beside river bank to sit on the many sun huts etc. Reception staff were friendly and attentive. Water taxi port just outside hotel was very handy. Everywhere was walkable. Beautiful fruit and olive trees and cats surround this hotel

Fantastic place
Fantastic hotel and staff! Returned from a 7 night stay and we had the best time. The hotel is spotless, gardens are beautiful and the staff are so friendly. 4th time staying in Dalyan and this was by far the best hotel, will definitely be returning.
A Great Little Hotel in Dalyan
We have just returned from a week's stay at the Portakal and cannot agree more with the reviews on here. We arrived late and Ram kept the bar open for a much appreciated arrival drink or two! He, along with other staff, made us feel very welcome during our stay, pouring many a well made cocktail and being the ultimate pool hustler! Rooms are spacious and clean with a decent sized bathroom. We paid a little extra for a terrace, which was a great bonus for additional outdoor space. We even had a few resident cats share the terrace with us. Location was great. Not on top of the town, but a short easy walk to bars and restaurants (we enjoyed The Lemon Tree and Luz as local restaurants - Luz had the best shrimp tacos and spicy margaritas). We were right next to the river, making it easy to cross on the car ferry (as pedestrians) and walk to the Kaunos ruins. River boat trips can pick you up here too - just ask at reception to help you book. Breakfast was included in our stay and there was enough choice for us. A micture of hot food, cereal, bread, yoghurt, fruit and cakes. The pool was lovely. It didn't ever feel 'busy' and we could always get a lounger. I would definitely recommend a stay here. A real home from home feel.
A convert to a family run hotel
Just back from a wonderfully relaxing time at the Portakal hotel.What a gem,amazing staff complimenting a wonderful facility in a great location.The room was modern,spotlessly clean and only a few paces away from a great pool area and bar.Again maintained to perfection.A spacious garden is well maintained if you like a little quiet time in the shade watching the boats travelling up and down the river.The breakfast is beautiful and if you’re not taking a leisurely stroll to the nearby shops and restaurants lunch is available and caters for all tastes at a great value for money.We have stayed in the bigger hotels in other areas of Turkey in the past,usually 5 star and all inclusive.This time we tried something different,we tried a family run hotel with the personal touch and were blown away.We based our booking on the reviews here and were definitely not disappointed.We’ll be back and doing it all again.
