Home Places In Turkey Antalya Hotels Old Town Point Hotel & Spa Antalya

Old Town Point Hotel & Spa Antalya is a 4-star boutique hotel in Antalya’s Muratpaşa district, part of Antalya’s historic Old Town area. It touts a “warm yet stylish” atmosphere and emphasizes attentive service and local flair. The property earned awards like “Best City Hotel (Muratpaşa)” in 2021 and “Antalya’s Best Rising Hotel” in 2022, reflecting its reputation for quality. The hotel has 66–82 guest rooms (sources vary) and offers amenities such as free Wi-Fi throughout, an American-style on-site restaurant, a lounge bar, and a seasonal outdoor pool.

Overall guest ratings are strong: Booking.com scores it 8.1/10 (Very Good) based on over 4,400 reviews, Expedia gives 8.4/10 (Very Good), and third-party sites report similar marks (e.g. TripAdvisor ~4.4/5, Hotels.com 8.4/10). Reviews consistently praise the hotel’s central location, cleanliness, and friendly staff. Major strengths include an excellent buffet breakfast, a high level of cleanliness and comfort, and a welcoming, multilingual team (staff frequently named as the highlight of stays). Its boutique scale and innovative local “Old Town” concept (accentuating Antalya’s history) set it apart from larger chain properties.

Key weaknesses mentioned in feedback include Wi-Fi reliability (Booking’s “Free Wifi” sub-score is only 7.8/10) and occasional room noise. Some guests report that the room walls are thin despite advertised soundproof windows. A few have found that certain hot breakfast items can run lukewarm (a common buffet issue). Overall, however, most reviews characterize the hotel as offering very good value for the price given its location and amenities.

Location & Accessibility

Old Town Point Hotel enjoys a central city location in Muratpaşa, Antalya. It is about a 10–15 minute walk from the historic Kaleiçi (Old Town) and the Old Bazaar (roughly 0.5–0.8 miles/800 meters). The famous MarkAntalya Shopping Mall and Kaleiçi Marina are each about 0.6 miles away (10–12 minutes on foot). The Mermerli Beach and Konyaaltı Beach Park lie within walking distance (Mermerli ~0.8 mi/14 min, Konyaaltı ~2.6 mi/4 min drive). Key landmarks like Yivliminare Mosque are about 0.5 miles (10 minutes) from the hotel.

For transportation, Antalya’s airport (AYT) is roughly 15 km away (around a 25–30 minute drive). The hotel can arrange an airport shuttle (for a fee). Public transit access is convenient: the MarkAntalya bus/coach station is a short taxi ride or moderate walk. Taxis are readily available near the hotel, and car rental desks are nearby in the city center. On-site parking is a perk – both self and valet parking are free (ample space for cars and even larger vehicles). A public tram station is a few blocks away, connecting to the rest of Antalya.

Nearby hotels and competition: In Muratpaşa and Old Town, similar properties include Bonnie City Hotel (rated ~8.8/10) and Privado Hotels, which also feature central locations and breakfast offerings. Old Town Point’s advantage is its boutique vibe and spa amenities, as well as its somewhat lower prices (see below).

In summary, guests laud the location as “top notch”. Being in the heart of Antalya means restaurants, shops, and historic sites are all within walking distance. Despite the central spot, the hotel is on a quieter side street (Altındağ Mah. Güllük Cad.), so it strikes a balance between convenience and a relatively tranquil setting.

Architecture, Design & Ambience

Old Town Point is housed in a modern mid-rise building with a crisp white exterior and contemporary signage on Güllük Caddesi (see image below). Its style blends modern design with touches inspired by Antalya’s Old Town heritage. Public spaces are bright and clean: the lobby (with marble floors and occasional local art pieces) gives a fresh, welcoming feel. The hotel has a small shared lounge/TV area and a 24-hour reception desk, contributing to a casual, homey atmosphere. In winter months the lobby’s fireplace adds charm (Expedia notes a “fireplace in lobby” amenity).

Guest reviews describe the ambiance as “comfortable and stylish”, emphasizing that it feels more personal than a big chain. The decor inside is contemporary with warm wooden accents; for example, rooms feature parquet floors, dark wood furniture, and soft textile colors that mirror Anatolian patterns. A standout area is the hotel’s Spa & Wellness Center. This space is designed to evoke traditional Turkish bath culture: it offers a true hammam (Turkish bath) with marble slabs and copper fixtures. In their words, the hotel markets the spa as “a retreat into the soul of Anatolian wellness”. Its lighting is soft, with candles and water features creating a serene, almost sacred feel.

Rooms are generally modern and well-appointed, with comfortable mattresses and high-quality linens. Many have city views of Antalya rooftops. The top-floor Deluxe King Suites even include a private Jacuzzi and a balcony with views over the city (and in some cases a distant glimpse of the sea). All rooms have blackout curtains and soundproofed windows to facilitate a good night’s sleep despite the urban location. The design priority is clearly on comfort: every room provides individually-controlled AC/heating, flat-screen TVs, mini-refrigerators, and a tea/coffee maker.

Unique Features (Discovery): A few features set the hotel apart architecturally. The Spa & Hammam area is unusually large and authentic for a city hotel. They even offer special medical massage therapies performed by professional therapists, which is rare among Antalya city hotels. Another unique touch is the evening manager’s reception (a daily complimentary social hour with drinks and appetizers), held on a ground-floor terrace that overlooks the street – a convivial meeting point. The design of this space, with outdoor seating and city lights, creates a relaxed lounge vibe not often found in business hotels.

In short, Old Town Point’s design and ambience marry Antalya Old Town character with modern comfort. The public spaces and spa foster a relaxed, boutique atmosphere, while the clean contemporary interiors earn frequent praise for “exactly what you’d want” in a city stay.

Service & Hospitality

Service at Old Town Point is a highlight for many guests. The hotel maintains a 24-hour reception and concierge, ensuring assistance is always available. Check-in is from 2:00 PM (they welcome late arrivals up until midnight) and staff greet each arriving guest with personalized service. Multilingual front-desk and service staff (speaking Turkish, English, German, and Russian) accommodate international travelers. Guests consistently commend staff members by name: for example, guests mention “Onder” and “Levent” for going above and beyond to make stays exceptional.

The hotel’s hospitality extends to several thoughtful touches. There is daily housekeeping and turndown service, keeping rooms immaculate. For problem resolution, management is proactive: one review notes that if an issue occurs, staff often provide complimentary spa or meal vouchers to compensate (a guest wrote about “complimentary services… added to the overall positive experience”). As another example of convenience, free bottled water and coffee/tea supplies are restocked in rooms daily, and common areas have brochures and guidebooks to help with sightseeing. Room service is available around the clock, delivering food or necessities to your room quickly (the hotel’s convenience list includes “meal delivery service” and a 24-hour front desk).

Key practical details of service: the hotel provides an airport shuttle for a surcharge, and parking services (including valet) are complimentary. There is free Wi-Fi in all rooms and public areas, though note that some guests report spotty signal (Booking’s Wi-Fi score is only 7.8/10). Other guest conveniences include luggage storage, laundry/dry-cleaning, and a limited business center (fax/photocopying and a meeting room are available for a fee). The hotel also accommodates personal needs: they provide wheelchairs for accessibility, and children are warmly welcomed (rollaway beds and cribs are available on request).

Room entry is via a secure keycard system, and safety features like smoke detectors and an in-desk safe give peace of mind. Overall, service is characterized as warm, attentive, and professional. Many reviewers note that the staff’s friendliness transforms a good hotel into a great one. In summary, check-in/check-out is smooth (check-in from 2pm, checkout by noon), the reception is never short-staffed, and any guest request – from extra pillows to tour recommendations – is handled promptly and courteously.

Guest Rooms & In-Room Experience

Rooms at Old Town Point are designed for comfort and convenience. The property offers a variety of room types: standard double/twin rooms, single rooms, and triple/family rooms (some are interconnected for families). There are also several suites, including a spacious King Suite (with Jacuzzi) and an Apart Studio with its own kitchen and sitting area. All rooms are non-smoking and centrally air-conditioned (individual controls).

Every room includes key amenities:

  • Bedding and Décor: Beds have premium linens (Egyptian cotton) and guests can choose a king, queen, or twin layout. Rooms are carpeted or have hardwood floors, with blackout curtains ensuring a dark sleep environment. In-suite climate is well-controlled. The furnishings (seating areas in most rooms) are modern wood-tone with neutral upholstery. Reviewers consistently say beds are “comfortable” and rooms feel fresh and modern.
  • Climate & Air: Each room has individually controlled heating and air-conditioning. This ensures a comfortable temperature year-round.
  • Technology: All rooms feature a flat-screen TV (32-inch LCD in standard rooms) with satellite channels. Free high-speed Wi-Fi is provided throughout. USB sockets and desks are available in many rooms for work/travel needs. Telephones and alarm clocks are standard. Guests can also request adapters or extra outlets.
  • Minibar & Refreshments: Rooms come with a minibar or mini-fridge and a coffee/tea maker (with complimentary tea/coffee and bottled water). A snack tray and bottled water are replenished daily at no charge. This was noted as a plus in many reviews (the hotel’s site mentions free wired and wireless internet, coffeemaker, minibar in all rooms).
  • Bathroom: Each room has a private en-suite bathroom with a shower (some larger rooms have bathtubs). Full-sized hairdryers and complimentary toiletries are provided. Bathrooms are modern, with good water pressure and hot water. Guests appreciate that robes and slippers are supplied in higher-tier rooms. Towels are changed daily and very clean, reflecting the hotel’s high housekeeping standards (Booking rates cleanliness 8.5/10).
  • Extras: Suites and some deluxe rooms include additional amenities: for example, the Deluxe King Suite features a private indoor Jacuzzi and seating area. Many rooms have a small balcony or large window with city views. All rooms also include safety features like electronic locks and a built-in safe.

Sleep Quality: Overall sleep quality is reported as excellent by most guests – the 8.5/10 comfort score on Bookingattests to that. The beds are described as soft but supportive. “Quiet” is often used by guests, though as noted, some say adjoining rooms can be heard if doors are open. The blackout curtains effectively block street light, and the central location does not mean traffic noise seeps into the well-insulated rooms.

Cleanliness: The hotel scores highly on cleanliness. Housekeeping visits daily and keeps everything spotless. Guests frequently comment on “very clean” rooms and tidy bathrooms. Even the spa and pool areas are maintained to a high standard.

Room Views: Most rooms overlook the city. Some higher floors offer partial sea views toward Antalya’s gulf. None are beachfront views (despite one online description erroneously citing a “white sand beach”) – the beach is about a 15-minute walk away. City vistas of mosques, red-tiled roofs, and the distant mountains can be enjoyed, especially from the Suites’ balconies.

Guest Feedback on Rooms: Reviews repeatedly mention how “the room was clean and very comfortable”. Many say the modern fittings (like the TVs and coffee facilities) added to their convenience. As one guest said, rooms made them “feel right at home” thanks to the thoughtful decor and amenities. Minor negatives noted in room feedback include occasional noise or, very rarely, small issues like a slow hot water tap, but these are not common.

Dining & Culinary Experience

The hotel’s dining revolves around its on-site restaurant and breakfast buffet.

  • Breakfast: A complimentary buffet breakfast is served each morning (typically 7:30–10:30). The spread is extensive and consistently praised. Options include hot dishes (scrambled/boiled eggs, sausages, pastries), cereals, an assortment of cheeses and cold cuts, fresh fruits, yogurts, and breads. Live cooking stations often provide omelettes or egg dishes. There are also traditional Turkish breakfast items (olives, jams, borek pastry) and international items (cereals, pancakes). Multiple reviews rave about the breakfast variety – e.g. “The breakfast spread was incredible (SO many options)”. Dietary needs are well-handled: vegetarian, vegan and halal options are clearly available. Drinks at breakfast include juices, tea, and filter coffee. The breakfast area is a pleasant indoor buffet room, with a small adjoining terrace for warm-weather dining.
  • Old Town Restaurant: For lunch and dinner, the “Old Town” in-house restaurant offers an American-Italian-Mediterranean fusion menu. Dishes range from burgers and pastas to salads and grilled meats. They also serve some Turkish-Mediterranean classics. A lunchtime buffet or set menu may be offered seasonally. Portions are generous and prices are moderate. The restaurant has a traditional ambience with wood tables; it also connects to the poolside area for al fresco dining in summer. Breakfast buffet takes place here as well.
  • Bar & Lounge: The hotel features a casual lounge bar in the lobby and a poolside bar on the rooftop terrace. The lounge bar offers cocktails, beers, and light snacks in the evening – a popular spot for pre-dinner drinks. The rooftop pool bar serves cold drinks and simple grilled items or sandwiches; its view of the city makes it a relaxing spot at sunset. There’s also a small coffee/cafe corner (not full-service, but espresso drinks and pastries) as part of the lobby.
  • Room Service: 24-hour room service is available with a limited menu (main courses, snacks, and breakfast items sent up). Guests have the option to dine in-room or on their balcony, which is handy for late arrivals.
  • Nearby Options: Given the hotel’s Old Town location, dining options abound nearby. Within a two-minute walk are local favorites like Şampiyon Döner (döner kebabs) and Ayvalık Tost (Turkish sandwiches). A short walk (2–5 minutes) brings you to many seafood restaurants, cafes, and bars in Kaleiçi. The staff are happy to recommend and even make reservations at these local spots. For example, the hotel’s info highlights nearby Turkish eateries (Bol Bol, Guneyliler, Akdeniz Taverna).
  • Special Diets: Vegetarian and vegan dishes are available at all meals. As noted, all breakfasts have a wide array of vegetarian/halal-friendly items. The kitchen can accommodate gluten-free or other needs if requested in advance.

In general, the culinary experience is a strong point. Reviews confirm “excellent breakfast” and friendly dining staff. One guest specifically noted “excellent breakfast” and central location advantage. The hotel’s own claims (“rich and delicious buffet breakfast every morning”) are backed up by guest feedback. While the on-site restaurant is good, many guests prefer to explore Kaleiçi’s diverse food scene in the evenings. The hotel’s bar and lounge add convenience for relaxed drinks without leaving the building.

Hotel Facilities

Old Town Point offers a range of facilities focused on relaxation and basic recreation:

  • Spa & Wellness Center: A highlight of the property is its full-service spa. The spa area includes a Turkish hammam (steam bath), a Finnish sauna, and a hot tub (covered, resembling an “open-air” hot tub, though it is actually on the spa terrace). Spa packages are offered in three tiers (Standard, Classic, Gold) with services like sauna, salt scrub, bubble massage, and oil massages. There are three treatment rooms (one couples room, two singles). Service offerings include aromatherapy, deep-tissue, hot stone, sports massages, facials, and body treatments. Many guests report the massages (especially the “medical” deep massages) as extremely relaxing. The spa ambiance (candlelight, relaxing music, and Turkish tea) is frequently praised. Reservations are required for treatments (and available extra to guests, see [25]).
  • Swimming Pool: The hotel has one outdoor rooftop pool. It is a seasonal pool open roughly June–October. The pool is free for guests, and poolside towels/umbrellas/chairs are provided. It is a modest-sized pool (note: some guests describe it as “small but cute”), suitable for cooling off and lounging rather than swimming laps. The pool area has a deck with orange loungers (see image below) and offers views over Antalya’s skyline. The “Pool & Beach” section of Booking highlights it as a top amenity.

Figure: Rooftop seasonal pool and sun deck (open roughly June–October).

  • Fitness & Recreation: There is no large gym; however, a small fitness suite exists (treadmills and weights). More notable is the availability of bicycle rentals for guests who want to explore nearby coastal paths. A library/common lounge area provides reading materials and a quiet space for guests. The hotel does not have facilities like tennis courts or a private beach (it does not have beach access; the nearest beach is public Mermerli Beach ~15 min away).
  • Family Amenities: The hotel is family-friendly. It offers family rooms (larger or adjoining rooms) and provides cribs/rollaway beds on request. Child-size dinnerware is on hand in the restaurant. The pool area has a gate to separate small children from the main pool (for safety). The ambience is generally calm, so families usually find it comfortable for kids.
  • Business & Events: For business travelers or small events, Old Town Point includes a basic meeting/banquet room (charges apply) and fax/photocopying services. A 24-hour business center and computer station are available. These facilities are modest, making the hotel suitable for small conferences or meetings of up to ~20 people (it is not a full-scale convention center).
  • Additional Facilities: A cozy reception hall and fireplace lounge exist on the ground floor. There is a small coffee shop serving espresso-style drinks. Vending machines (snacks/drinks) and an ATM are onsite for convenience. The hotel provides free luggage storage if you arrive before check-in or after checkout.

In sum, the hotel’s facilities focus on delivering wellness and comfort rather than thrills. The spa and pool are standout extras for a city hotel, and combined with thoughtful family services, they complement the core guest experience. While some luxury resort features (like a large gym or multiple pools) are absent, the available facilities are well-executed and match the hotel’s boutique orientation.

Event & Conference Offerings

Old Town Point Hotel does accommodate small meetings and events, though it is primarily a leisure property. Key points:

  • Meeting Room: There is a modest-sized meeting/banquet room available for business use or events (such as small seminars, training, or private dinners). Use of the meeting room incurs an extra charge. It is equipped with basic business amenities (projector screen, podium, etc.) but may need audio/visual rentals arranged.
  • Business Center: A 24-hour business center with computers and printing/fax services is offered for guests needing to work. This includes Wi-Fi in the meeting area and lounge.
  • Group Services: For group reservations (conference blocks), the hotel can coordinate customized catering (breakfast/lunch/buffet menus) and special check-in/check-out arrangements. It can also assist with local transportation (e.g. conference shuttles).
  • Reception & Banquet: The hotel’s terrace and restaurant spaces can be used for informal networking receptions or cocktail events. (The daily manager’s reception is a small example of such usage.) However, the overall event capacity is limited to the size of the pool deck or restaurant plus meeting room, so large events (over ~50 people) are impractical.
  • Technology & Support: Standard conference tech (Wi-Fi, microphones, flipcharts) is supported, but high-end setups (simultaneous translation booths, extensive lighting) would require outside arrangement. Multilingual staff can assist international delegates.

While not a specialized conference hotel, Old Town Point Hotel can serve small corporate functions and meetings, benefiting from its central location. Business travelers often cite its convenience to downtown offices and proximity to city administration buildings (Antalya’s municipal offices are nearby). The business facilities here are adequate for small-scale events, but companies seeking full conference resort amenities would likely look elsewhere.

Pricing & Value for Money

Old Town Point positions itself as a reasonably priced boutique hotel for Antalya’s city center. Room rates vary by season. In low season (winter/spring), rates can start as low as ~$40–50 USD per night for a basic double (as advertised by some booking services). Even summer shoulder months see comparable deals; peak summer dates range higher (often around $80–120/night for a double). For reference, Expedia showed a mid-June rate of ~$102 total for one night (including taxes). These prices are generally competitive for 4-star city hotels in Antalya, especially given the included amenities.

Comparatively, many full-service resorts on the beach often charge €100+ even in off-season. While Old Town Point is a city hotel (no private beach), it adds value through its included services: free breakfast, free parking, and the spa/pool. Guests report being pleasantly surprised by how much is included “for the price of a basic hotel” in this location. Indeed, Booking’s guest survey rates it 8.4/10 for value.

Rate Structures:

  • Room-Only vs. B&B: The hotel’s base rate includes the breakfast buffet. Upgrading to “Half Board” (breakfast + dinner) may be offered by third-party bookings for a small extra fee. There is no ultra all-inclusive plan – meals beyond breakfast are pay-as-you-go.
  • Seasonal Promotions: Frequently, the hotel runs promotions for early booking or direct booking (official site claims ~10% off through its booking engine).
  • Cancellation and Flexibility: Booking.com categories note free cancellation options for many rooms, and the hotel’s policy (as per Expedia) allows cancellation without fee up to the day of arrival (though some advanced purchase rates are non-refundable).

Value Perception: Guest reviews often emphasize value. Many note that “in the city center, this offers great bang for your buck” – referencing the combination of location, breakfast, Wi-Fi, and even spa access being included. For example, one guest wrote the hotel was “good value for money” during a stay. Another compared it favorably to similarly priced chain hotels, preferring the boutique service here.

To summarize pricing: Old Town Point is inexpensive for Antalya’s standards, yet delivers services (spa, free parking, buffet breakfast) typically found at higher rates. For travelers prioritizing central location and comfort over beachfront resort frills, the hotel represents very good value.

Notable Issues & Complaints

While generally well-regarded, certain issues recur in guest feedback:

  • Wi-Fi Connectivity: The most frequent technical gripe is with the Wi-Fi. Booking’s rating breakdown shows a “Free Wifi” score of only 7.8/10, noticeably lower than other categories. Guests report that the signal can drop or be slow, especially on upper floors. (The hotel offers free wired Ethernet in all rooms as an alternative, which many business travelers use.) Management has stated they are working on upgrades.
  • Noise/Thin Walls: Despite advertising soundproof windows, a number of guests on forums note that noise travels between rooms. One TripAdvisor user explicitly said, “Very noisy rooms, could hear everything in the next room, even talking.” Guests sleeping very light or staying during busy seasons may experience this. The hotel recommends closing all room doors (not just curtains) to muffle sound. Overall the noise issue is inconsistent – many do not notice it at all, but it does appear in complaints when rooms are fully occupied.
  • Pool Size: The seasonal pool, while a nice feature, is relatively small. It cannot accommodate many swimmers at once. In peak summer weeks, guests have sometimes said the pool area feels crowded. The hotel has limited space on its rooftop, so future expansion is unlikely. For those wanting extensive pool facilities, this small size may disappoint.
  • Breakfast Service Timing: A few guests have mentioned that hot items on the buffet (like scrambled eggs or omelettes) can be lukewarm near the end of service. This is a common buffet issue in many hotels; arriving early can avoid it. The staff do replenish items quickly, and feedback on breakfast is overwhelmingly positive despite this minor point.
  • Limited Seating in Restaurant/Bar: During peak season, the hotel’s single restaurant and small lounge bar can become busy. Some guests have queued briefly for dinner tables or for pool bar service. The staff manages this efficiently, but it is a limitation of the property’s size.
  • No On-Site Gym or Beach: Guests expecting a full resort-style experience note the absence of a gym or direct beach access. The hotel makes no pretense of being a beach resort; travelers should be aware it is strictly a city hotel. For those who prioritize an exercise room, the small fitness suite may be inadequate. However, rental bicycles are available for active guests.
  • Parking (Valet Only): Although parking is free, the garage can become nearly full on busy dates. Valet parking is offered for convenience (and covers many cars), but during peak conferences or events you may occasionally need to park on a nearby street. Most guests find it sufficient, though one review did mention slight delay if retrieval is needed during check-out times.

In summary, complaints are relatively minor and typical of any city-center hotel. The main ones (Wi-Fi, noise, breakfast timing, small pool) are being addressed incrementally by management (e.g. internet upgrades, routine maintenance). Guests with specific needs (very sensitive to noise or reliant on 24-hour fast internet) should plan accordingly (request a quiet room, use ethernet, etc.). Despite these issues, none have a large impact on the overall experience for most visitors.

Guest Demographics & Atmosphere

Old Town Point attracts a diverse international crowd and maintains a lively yet relaxing atmosphere. The guest mix tends to include:

  • Tourists and Sightseers: Given its Old Town locale, many guests are vacationers who spend days exploring Antalya’s historical sites and beaches. Nationalities often seen include Europeans (e.g. British, German, Eastern Europeans) and Russians, as well as a significant number from Middle Eastern countries (reviews frequently mention guests from Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia). This is reflected in the language capabilities of staff: they speak English, German, Russian, and naturally Turkish.
  • Families: The presence of family rooms, roll-away beds, and children’s amenities makes it popular with families. Kids are welcome (0–3 stay free with rollaway). The atmosphere during holiday seasons is moderately family-friendly; quiet poolside rules ensure children’s safety.
  • Couples: Many couples (including honeymooners) favor the hotel for its romantic Old Town setting. The hotel even offers a special Honeymoon Room option (popular on booking sites). Couples enjoy the spa treatments and the comfortable suite options with Jacuzzis.
  • Business Travelers: Some guests are in town for conferences or corporate meetings. The business-friendly amenities (free Wi-Fi, on-site parking, meeting room) appeal to them. Business travelers often take advantage of the early breakfasts and late check-in times. The ambiance during weekdays is a mix of casual and professional, as some people work on laptops in the lounge or business center.
  • Seasonal Patterns: Peak occupancy is during summer (June–August) when leisure travelers flock to Antalya. In spring and fall, the hotel sees a mix of tourists and MICE (meetings/conferences). Winter is quieter; the hotel still hosts events and some off-season tourists. Regardless of season, the hotel maintains a polite, courteous atmosphere due to its small size – it feels more like a comfortable city guesthouse than a busy resort.
  • Vibe: Overall, the vibe can be described as cosmopolitan yet cozy. Guests often mingle at the nightly reception or breakfast buffet. The rooftop pool scene in summer is relaxed and friendly. In colder months, the lobby with fireplace creates a snug environment. There is no single nationality that dominates completely – one guest noted seeing Middle Eastern and European families side by side, all enjoying the hotel’s common spaces.
  • Age Range: The hotel accommodates all age groups. Young adult couples and solo travelers appreciate the social aspects, families like the convenience, and older guests enjoy the quiet service. It is not an “old-people’s hotel”; rather, it is a 4-star property geared toward moderately high-end travelers of any age.

In short, Old Town Point’s guest atmosphere is friendly and international. Travelers say they often hear multiple languages and see a mix of families, friends, and colleagues. The nightly manager’s reception adds a communal, cheerful touch (guests from different countries chatting over a drink). One TripAdvisor review even titled it a “solid pick” for its sociable yet well-managed environment. Guests generally feel that the hotel fosters a pleasant community vibe without feeling overrun – a balance of global energy and homelike hospitality.

Final Verdict & Rating

Old Town Point Hotel & Spa Antalya offers exceptional urban value. Its central location, high service level, and included amenities make it stand out among Antalya city-center hotels. Below is a breakdown of pros and cons and a categorical rating summary:

Category Strengths Room for Improvement Rating (out of 5)
Location Prime Muratpaşa/Old Town setting; walking distance to historic sites and transport. Quiet street. None significant; perhaps minor street noise at night. ★★★★☆ (4.5)
Rooms Clean, well-equipped, modern decor. Comfortable beds with blackout curtains. Suites with Jacuzzi and sea view. Some report thin walls (noise). Wi-Fi can be spotty. ★★★★☆ (4.3)
Service & Staff Highly praised. Attentive multilingual staff (names like Onder, Levent praised). Easy check-in. 24h front desk. Very few; occasionally understaffed at peak moments but rare. ★★★★★ (4.8)
Dining Excellent varied breakfast included. On-site restaurant covers multiple cuisines with halal options. Friendly bar service. Limited seating at busy times, modest dinner menu. ★★★★☆ (4.2)
Facilities Great spa/hammam offering, plus seasonal pool. Parking, internet, business services available. Family-friendly. Gym is very small. Pool is small. Wi-Fi coverage issues. ★★★★☆ (4.0)
Value for Money Very good value: inclusive free breakfast, parking, and spa access for price. Highly rated by guests for worth. Few; could improve Wi-Fi, but overall strong value. ★★★★☆ (4.4)

Strengths: The hotel’s strengths lie in location, staff, and cleanliness. The welcoming staff and thoughtful touches (free manager’s reception, surprises for guests) frequently make stays memorable. The rooms and facilities feel upscale for the price point. The expansive breakfast buffet is a standout that guests love. Spa lovers find ample justification in the affordable room rates given the wellness amenities on offer (hammam, massages, etc).

Areas for Improvement: The main drawbacks to note are Wi-Fi and noise. If these can be improved with technical upgrades (stronger routers, better soundproofing), the hotel would be nearly flawless. The small pool is not a deal-breaker for most city travelers, but is worth awareness. Adding more gym equipment or fitness classes could also enhance its appeal.

Overall Rating: 4.3 out of 5. This rating reflects a high guest satisfaction (combining all categories above). Old Town Point clearly exceeds expectations for its class and price.

  • Guests looking for value – those who want many inclusions (breakfast, pool, spa) without paying resort rates.

In summary, Old Town Point Hotel & Spa offers a winning combination of location, quality, and service. Its few shortcomings are relatively minor compared to its many advantages. For visitors wanting a comfortable, hassle-free base in Antalya with a touch of luxury, it comes highly recommended.
