Kalia Beach Hotel Side

“Pour une nuit sans s’attarder”

The restaurant and common areas had very nice décor and the location right on the sea was superb. The room was too basic, with a hard mattress and a motel‑style bathroom that had a micro sink, which was at odds with the attention to detail in the common areas and restaurant. The breakfast was extremely sparse, which could work for a budget stay, and there was a constant smell of cannabis in the common areas.

“Wir hatten trotzdem einen tollen Urlaub!”

The small, cozy property had a lot of charm and was perfectly located right on the sea, not far from Side and just around the corner from a small shopping street. We booked a large maisonette room. The staff were great, very friendly and did everything possible to make us comfortable. There are many cats there; if you don’t like them you should avoid the property. We loved it ;O) We also received a small bottle of water each day per person. The seating areas in front of the rooms were great! The beach was nice, with solid wooden loungers, comfortable cushions, and attractive beach chairs. However, you can’t move the loungers, or you’ll get in trouble immediately, so you end up in the scorching sun. A small tip: bring a towel and clips, attach them to the umbrella and create your own shade. You also can’t bring your own food or drinks to the beach because the restaurant is included and you’re supposed to buy there (three very small iced coffees, 18 €!). So please watch the prices carefully; it’s not really cheap. The rooms could be made more practical with a little love. We had a great room, with a very large bathroom, three sleeping places upstairs and a sofa bed downstairs. For three or four people, however, there was not enough storage space. We were three girls, and the open wardrobe was overfull! The bathroom has only three hooks for towels, which is too few if there are four people in the room. It would also be nice to have a few hooks on the wall in the lower room. In the autumn, or May, when it’s cooler, it would be great if you could hang a jacket or handbag somewhere. There is also no storage in the bathroom except the washbasin. Each of us left our toiletry bag in the wardrobe after use. The bathroom could easily have a few shelves added; there is enough space for that. The floor and walls in the bathroom are painted with grey paint that flakes off. These are only small things that don’t cost a lot of effort or money. The biggest downside is the breakfast! In my 20 years in Turkey I have never experienced such a monotonous, unimaginative, and poor breakfast buffet! It’s open, without refrigeration or heating. In the summer, at 40 °C, it would probably be fine. Flies were already on the first type of sausage and the second type of cheese. And the typical Turkish white bread was the only bread variety. Many people were really annoyed and some eventually made their own breakfast in front of their rooms, or went out to eat. From day three we got daily rolls or simit and cream cheese or sausage, so we had a bit of variety. Twice we also went to Simit Noktasi Side on the main street for breakfast, which was a treat! Coffee was served in paper cups, which is really unacceptable. The restaurant has a dishwasher! We took our cups from the room to breakfast.

“Beautiful hotel, I would stay here again. The rating definitely should be higher than it is now”

The hotel’s location is fantastic: first‑line beach with sandy shore, no rocks, clean, with comfortable chaise lounges and umbrellas; a 15‑20 minute walk to the city center. The grounds, restaurant, and rooms are beautiful, and breakfast is consistently good. Despite reviews about nightclub noise, I heard nothing during my Friday and Saturday nights. The room was dry and odor‑free. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The bathrooms look a bit scary: white and grey marble was painted with peeling grey paint. A small issue with lights and electricity was fixed quickly by a handyman. Air circulation is odd on the top floor where the double bed for four people is; there’s no airflow at all.

I always book this hotel whenever I’m in Side because it’s an amazing place. The value for money is unbeatable, everything is excellent—cleanliness, service, staff, the condition of the accommodation, and the comfort of the rooms. The hotel manager is especially helpful and courteous, fulfilling every request in no time. The beach stretch right outside the hotel’s door is simply superb, with solid‑wood loungers and the most comfortable cushions I’ve ever had. It’s the best spot for swimming, sunbathing, and relaxing. The NUA Restaurant & Bar that belongs to the hotel is also outstanding; the food and drinks are tasty and the price‑performance is top. Thanks to all the staff for everything. I recommend this hotel for its highest points in value, comfort, and service, and I’ll definitely come back more often.

“Peaceful one week of stay, in stylish place next to great beach with low quality of property”

The place is very peaceful and calm, with a beautifully decorated inner courtyard. The beach is close and fairly clean, with comfortable sunbeds and umbrellas. Breakfast is served in a stylish Gua Restaurant, and the designer’s touch is evident throughout the space. Dinner food is tasty and nicely presented, and the cocktails are also good. On the downside, my child couldn’t find anything suitable for breakfast; a simple fried egg would have been better than hard‑boiled. The bathroom needs a serious update, and in the evening the electricity and internet went out, so it’s unreliable for work. The air conditioning only cools the first floor of the quadruple room; the top level with the king‑size bed stays hot. The towel holder fell off.
