Delta Hotel
Altinkum, Bodrum Region

Mr B Nash, Clacton-on-sea

Arrived late and taken to a little room with badly stained pillows and mattress. Mattress was also threadbare and had holes. Asked for clean pillows and mattress and manager arrived. He told us loudly to get out of his hotel. I said where to and he said ''I don't care where, you're in Turkey now, what do you expect''. Not a nice thing to shout about his fellow Turks. We stood in the corridor and another man came up and took us to new rooms. Pretty much just as bad, but we had no choice but to take them or we had to go. This wasn't just us, this was also our friends with us who had the same bad rooms. The first rooms overlooked an alley littered with rubbish, our new rooms were next to another hotel with music blaring outside. Delta hotel also had music blaring below us. Both lot's went on each night until the last person left the bar anywhere between 1am and 5am.

The bar only had 3 tables and chairs because there was no room for more. People were telling us they always had to check their change and when changing money for Lira because they got fiddled. We never ate or drunk there because the bar area was smaller then my living room. The pool in the website photo is not the pool at the Delta, but the pool next door in the Hotel Letoon. Just a clever picture to make you think it is. Delta's pool is tiny and dirty and we called it a foot spa. And there were only a few loungers very close to the poolside, so we never got on one of those. Instead we found another hotel that let us use their hotel if we had a drink. We did this and had our lunches there.

The shower room was dangerous as it has glazed wall tiles on the floor and is very very slippery when wet. I had to go to the mini supermarket across the road and buy us pillows as we couldn't use theirs. There were some lovely people staying there that we chatted to. They all agreed things were bad, but said you get what you pay for. Some of those had had run ins with the nasty manager, but didn't get anywhere with their complaints. At breakfast there was no toaster and the bread was put on the table in loaves which you had to cut yourself. This meant that everyone was holding the bread to cut, sometimes 4 or 5 people before you. Very unhealthy. And it wasn't covered with plenty of flies about. Wanted to complain to the rep. but he was Turkish and on the side of the manager, who had already told the rep. that we were nasty to him. Ignored the manager for the rest of our holiday. So our holiday was ruined by a manager with no respect, very loud noise, tiny pool, very small bar area, unhealthy bread, slippery floors and bad beds. Never again.

The Delta is an ideally situated small family-run budget hotel. It is excellent value for money and all staff were very courteous and helpful throughout our stay. Rooms are small but adequate and cleaned daily. Small pool area, but as we prefer the beach to sunbathe it was fine. Breakfast was good with as much or little as you wanted, with unlimited tea, coffee and orange juice.

Mrs L Scott, Swindon

Friendly family run hotel, nothing is too much trouble. Rooms are basic but clean. Both bar men, Danny and Rocky excellent.

Mr W Laybourn, Consett

Miss J Brookes, Manchester

Mr C Watts, Sheffield

I had a fantastic stay the Delta Hotel. The hotel is very clean, room was cleaned every day during my stay.
The main highlight of this hotel are the staff. Danny and Sam make sure you have a great time. Being a single traveller they ensure you have a great time and introduce to all the other guests.
Will be staying there again.

Very reasonably priced, basic but clean hotel. Staff all very friendly and helpful, location is ideally situated close to beach.

Mr P Golding, Folkestone

Clean, good and helpful staff. Good location and value for money.

Mr W Skilbeck, Middlesbrough

Made to feel very welcome by the manager and his wife, very friendly staff always willing to help with any small or big problem. Would recommend this hotel to any one going to this resort. Rooms are clean and towels changed every other day but some times every day depending on the time of year. We have had our towels and bedding changed every day. We will never stay anywhere else but the Delta now. Sun loungers are cleaned daily and the rooms are cleaned daily.

We always have a great holiday and make friends with other guests. We are still friends with these guest even after all these years and we make arrangements with these friends every year to all meet at the Delta, normally in September.
