Derici Hotel

Just returned from a lovely week staying at the Derici. The staff are lovely and very helpful, there when you need them. The breakfast is fine, an egg station would be good however. The pool terrace is very nice and you can get drinks and food, staff very pleasant. The rooms are clean and adequate and good value for money, all having a small private balcony. The location is great, with shops, markets , bars and restaurants all within easy walking. We met some lovely people that have been coming here for 10 years plus, so that speaks volumes. We would certainly return.

We have stayed here previously and decided to revisit again, in a change to where we normally go. Some things have changed, but not all for the good. Some things haven't changed. Bad points. The rooms are in need of maintenance. We found this last time we were here. There was always something that needed attention in all rooms we stayed. On this occasion, like most rooms, locking the balcony door was an issue. The handle was almost falling off, making it a struggle to close. We managed to turn the screws enough to tighten it up, making it easier to close. The mirrors in the wardrobe were held in with screws and nails put in at an angle behind the mirror, I cut my finger on one. Yes, I could have reported these, but it sets a bad impression, especially if it's your first visit. Surely, they should have a maintenance person going room to room checking and fixing issues. The terrace area, one floor below the roof top pool, now has the breakfast and evening dining area built at one end. Shame really, as you used to be able to use the whole area. Sitting in comfy seats, moving around when the sun moved. It's especially good when my wife really struggles with stairs because there is no lift to the rooftop pool. And the toilets are back down the stairs on the terrace level. Breakfast. Don't expect an English breakfast, unless you want to pay extra, even though you have paid for bed and breakfast. It's cheaper to go and have an English breakfast at a local restaurant. All you get is a Continental breakfast, meat, fruit, some cereals, toast. Only hot food seemed to be omelette and mushrooms. We asked for a sea view room, and I get it's an additional charge. But every time we have been, the price has gone up. Now costs £18 a night. If we didn't get a sea view room, we'd be stuck with looking at a brick wall or the hotel next door, which is very close. Good points. The staff, especially the cleaning staff, are very pleasant and helpful. Location is pretty good and central, everywhere within walking distance. I'm not sure if we will go back again. We already had our July holiday booked for Kusadasi, again at the Derici. But we have now changed that with Jet2, ba k to the hotel we normally go. Yes, it's not central, but it has a taxi rank a 2 minute walk away. And most restaurants will come and pu k you up and drop you back off, even after you have been shopping or walking around. It also has a ground level pool area and another o e down a set of stairs. They don't charge you extra for a pool/sea view room. It's half board, not bed and breakfast, like the Derici, so it's a little more money, but that's offset by not pay an extra £18 for a sea view room. And you get aproper breakfast, eggs, beans, etc. If you like bog standard with rooms that aren't 100 percent maintained, in a central location, then the Derici is fine.

The hotel is always nice and clean, the staff are always very friendly and attentive. The breakfast is always good and find the food good when we have lunch at the pool and some times dinner at night. The hotel is in a good position to go to different restaurants at any time, also to go to the beach over the road and Ladies Beach.

do not go there Staff are rude,no kettle in the room,rooms hall ways all dirty. nothing good to say about this hotel .i would not give this hotel onw* you cant bring your soft drinks to the roof top pool you have to get them from the rude man at pool side.
