Lonicera City Hotel
Turkey, Europe
Alanya
This 6-storey building lies just 100 metres from the sandy beach in Alanya, Turkey, and the picturesque harbour is 2 kilometres from the premises. Public transport runs right past the establishment and the main bus station is just 550 metres away. The 60-room hotel is attended by staff who speak fluent English. Although the beach is close, the hotel also has a seasonally open fresh-water swimming pool and a children's pool, where sunshades and sun loungers can be used free of charge. This is a fully air-conditioned and non-smoking establishment. Guests can enjoy the buffet breakfast before going out to see the sights or laze on the beach. Other facilities include a 24-hour reception desk, a lift to all floors, a laundry, dry-cleaning and ironing service. Car rental and a shuttle service to the airport 45 kilometres away are also available on request.

Mainly no omelet.
Rooms are big and clean. Nice shower room. 2 swimming pools. All day and night coffe, cold juise, water. Refrigerator is not closed. Dinner and lunch- very good. Breakfast- poor. Mainly no omelet. Sousages- poor view. Not far from sea, good location.
Nice hotel near Cleopatra Beach
I have to say that the hotel pleasantly surprised me, whether it was cleanliness, excellent communication staff and attitude. The hotel is located approx. 3 minutes from the beaches on Cleoparara Beach, has two swimming pools, and there are interesting restaurants, bars and shops within easy reach. It would easily deserve 4 stars (now it has 3). As for the food, there could probably be more choice, especially regional ones, and fish, but given the predominantly Russian clientele, this is clearly sufficient. I will leave relaxed and satisfied.

Lovely, clean hotel, limited sunbeds
We are a family of five with three kids, 12, 10 and 6 and visited back end of July/ Early August. All in all we had a lovely stay here and it's a very clean hotel. The staff are lovely and very friendly and we probably would come back here.
The pool is extremely small and far too crowded on busy days, the beach is within a 10 minute walk though if you get stuck. Food wise, my kids struggled as typical English want french fries, chicken nuggets, ketchup and crepes with Nutella which they don't always have 🫣😂 but let's face it 2 weeks all inclusive food who is going to be happy all the time!
We just explored on an evening and played games in the hotel lobbies/ bars
Pros:
- Drinks available at any time, cold water and hot drinks machines dotted all over the hotel to help yourself, best hotel I've seen for this!
- Very clean hotel and, fresh sheets, fresh towels and topped up water and coffee in room every day, cleaners are lovely 🫶🏼
- Food pretty decent as far as all inclusive a go with varied options, lots of meats, salad bar etc. My wife is vegetarian and struggled though.
- Free air con in rooms
- Free safe in rooms
Cons:
- Pool is far to small for the size of the hotel (see picture) the baby pool is non existent and, absent pool is probs a no go in peak season with the heat.
- No eventing entertainment although we knew that before coming so always check if needed
- 27 sunbeds for a hotel of this size means a fight for beds, so your only alternative is get up early to secured beds (which I hate to have to do)
- I would not say this is in ideal place for a family, perhaps the Lonicera resort is better suited spending on your needs with young children.
- Heavy non English presence which didn't bother us but, looking at miserable European faces on a daily basis could well put people off 🤦🏼
Great location and delicious food
Friendly and polite service, good food, clean hotel room, unlimited free bottled water (could be taken to the beach), very good location, Cleopatra Beach only a 5-minute walk away. Cons: very small shower area (~1 m²) and the shower doors do not keep the water in (the bathroom floor gets flooded); the air conditioner is located right above the bed, which made my fiancee sick on the last day of our vacation; street noise is very loud (closed windows do not block the sound — it feels as if there are no windows at all).

Ibrahim’s service is outstanding!
The hotel is amazing and especially I want to mention Ibrahim who is absolutely the best!!! Ibrahim’s service just exceeded the basic standards of service. He helped me when i came to check in during the night and showed everything! Thank you so much! Lonicera just shows the excellent service everywhere!
