Derici Hotel

Location was amazing right in the centre of town,hotel is opposite the beach and marina, you can see the cruise ships that dock there daily from your balcony. The hotel itself is spotless and the staff are very friendly and professional especially Ali who was on reception, he was very helpful and courteous at all times ,nothing was a problem to him. The rooms were clean and comfortable only complaint, the aircon could do with upgrades. I would recommend this hotel to friends and family and would definitely return.

My first time visiting Turkey & booked to go to Kusadasi for my partners 65th Birthday treat - he had always wanted to see Ephesus...after reading quite a few negative reviews about the Derici ( theft from the rooms,outdated decor & even illness caused by uncleanliness & food poisioning ) before our holiday,I wasn't really sure what to expect however,we were in room 106 around the back of the hotel with views of the municipal building & it's green grassy area with sculptures aligning the central walkway.Our balcony was on a corner so we could see onto the sea,the cruise ships & the hand of Peace sculpture.The hotel is well maintained,super clean,the staff are polite & welcoming.Breakfast is buffet style with hot cooked varieties of food,fruits,salad vegetables,meats,cheeses,lots of different breads & pastries,cereals,yoghurt,jams,spreads,fruit juices,coffees ( machines) & different teas to choose from.The views from the breakfast rooms are spectacular & the waiting staff have a smile waiting to greet you each day - so welcoming & helpful.Our cleaner on the first floor ( Laila ) was so lovely also! Room cleaned daily,bedding changed if you requested,fresh towels also.There is a pump dispenser of hand soap beside the wash basin,a shower gel/shampoo one in the shower cubicle & a hairdryer in the bathroom also.Safety deposit box costs 100 turkish lira per day to use and advisable for peace of mind when being mindful of any valuables,documents & passports. I hope i've covered everything here! No negatives here! No complaints whatsoever about the Derici.One more thing - the rooftop pool - small but compact,clean - plenty of sunloungers ( take your own towels as the hotel does not provide then nor does it allow you to use the towels provided in your room ) parasols aplenty & spectacular views to boot! The Derici was fab for us & a sanctuary to escape the relentless harassment from the sales people in the shopping areas - that was a huge dislike for me! So,lets wrap this review up - hope i've covered everything 😊
