The Tower Hotel

My husband and I arrived home lastnite after spending 10 days at The Tower Hotel, Oludeniz. What can we say!! Beautiful complex, basic but spotlessly clean. The staff, ALL of them, cannot do enough for you. We would highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be going back. Thank you Tower Hotel for an amazing holiday and the beautiful flowers in our apar**ent every day!!

I recently stayed at the Tower hotel and over all was a decent experience. With no major issues at all. Welcomed at 3am by Baba to good calm English who helped us into our rooms. The rooms to put simple, did the job, clean and cool. However the shower in the room didn’t work all to well, and the provided bed sheets were a little scratchy. The breakfast was provided the usual continental selection. However the selection did not differ throughout our stay, therefor the breakfast got a bit bland after 2 weeks. The hotels location is fairly good, 10-15 minutes walk from the seafront and a 5 min walk from the “town center” where there are shops and restaurants.

We spent two weeks here as a family of 5 and found the hotel to be a good base to explore from. We had no trouble parking our hire car day or night either in the hotel carpark or on the road outside. The pool was welcome respite from the heat and there are lots of sun loungers and while it’s not the hotels fault there were times where it was difficult to get two sun loungers together because of ‘reserving’ with towels and no sign of the users in or out of the pool so is more a reflection on the other guests behaviour than the hotel. I would like to suggest to the hotel a ‘no reserving’ policy. The service by all the staff is friendly and helpful and largely with a smile- Particularly Baba. The rooms are basic and clean, and the aircon (included) does a good job making the temperature comfortable. I’d say the housekeeping is minimal also- no fresh towels all week and bed sheet changed just once after about 10 days- I am sure if we’d asked it would have been no problem to have had fresh linen. The bed covers are a bit small for double with two adults and are not very soft- I ended up using my sarong as a cover. As others have said the breakfast is basic- best thing are the fresh omelette made to order, fresh bread and the boiled eggs. I have to mention Baba again- he is so kind and helpful and when our home flight transfer was delayed he helped reassure us and liaised with the transfer company. Baba! We made our flight!

Travelled with my family of 5, staying for 2 weeks, we found that the hotel was an easy walk to the beach and had many options to explore the country around us. The hotel was pretty average across the board with a basic breakfast and average cleaning throughout the day. The cleaning consisted of a bed being made and the floors being wiped down. We never once received clean bed covers or clean towels. The pool was big with lora of sun beds however early in the day around 8-8:30 people would place their towels to ‘reserve’ their sun beds. So if you’re intending on getting a sun bed and you’re with a larger group i would suggest getting up early to place your towels out. Perhaps not all rooms but my room personally was infested with flies and ants (not to a large extent) especially in the bathroom. It didn’t bother me too much and they weren’t loud buzzing flies but they were everywhere. The balcony I had (ground floor) was quite large and could easily fit 4-5 people on it. However I did notice the higher up rooms had a much smaller balcony. One thing that was amazing about this hotel was the bar tender Baba. He went above and beyond helping us with some issues we had and stood as a translator. He was a kind soul who clearly took pride and care in his work.

We have just returned from a two week holiday in Oludeniz and although we didn't stay at The Tower this time, I just had to write a few words the reason for which will hopefully become clear as I go on. Our only previous visit to Olu was 7 years ago, when we did stay at The Tower and had a great time, which was mainly down to one man; Baba. This time around we stayed part way between Olu and Hisaronu but knew we just had to pop in and see if Baba was still running the bar. One evening early in our holiday we were on the main ***** and my wife and 24 year old daughter were having a mooch around various shops, a pastime in which I have very little interest. I quickly suggested to my daughters boyfriend that we might be better suited walking round to The Tower and seeing if Baba was still there. He didn't take much persuading. I had literally stepped inside the grounds of The Tower when Baba looked at me from behind the bar, stopped what he was doing, ran out, gave me a big hug and welcomed me back. How good is that? I have been there once, 7 years ago, and the man remembers me and welcomes me back as if it was yesterday. My wife and daughter got the same welcome when they arrived. Baba has a knack of bringing the guests sat around the bar into one conversation and then throws out some riddles and puzzles to have a think about. Whilst I can't comment too much on the hotel, what I can say is that it still looked good, had plenty of happy and cheerful guests with the main man still holding court, which is why we called back in on another couple of evenings. Baba - You are a legend and a gentleman.
