- Dosi Hotel

This family-friendly hotel is located 700 metres from the beach and a four-minute drive from the centre of Side on Turkey's Mediterranean coast. Public transport is available from the main road, 150 metres away, providing easy access to the centre of Side and nearby attractions such as Manavgat Waterfalls and the ancient amphitheatre at Aspendos. The hotel features two pools, one with waterslide, a sand volleyball ground, and relaxation facilities such as a sauna and hammam for guest leisure. The spacious rooms are luminous and bright with air-conditioning and private balconies, and the onsite restaurant serves both buffet-style and a la carte meals while the pool bar offers drinks and snacks beside the sparkling outdoor pool, all for a relaxing family holiday by the sea.
Due to the surrounding area and the number of steps around the hotel, it may not be suitable for those with mobility difficulties.

Currently at the hotel (July 2026) - The staff try hard but the guests let the place down!!! Overrun with Germans and catered to them even the announcements are rarely in English. Unfortunately during our stay the majority of them were rude and experiences include being threatened by a big burly man because I asked him not to feed cats near us. I had asked 3 members of staff to assist before I went direct. My daughter (autistic) is severely allergic and my elderly father phobic. He told me - this is putting it nicely, he was stood up waving his hands in my face and screaming at me - my daughter should sit somewhere else leaving her terrified and in tears and scared to go near the restaurant. No one intervened. At the same time a table next to them started feeding the cats while he was threatening me just for entertainment as far as I can tell and a third person fed another one - with dreamies cat treats bought in the on site shop!!! Another one calling me a bitch because I told her children not to shove my elderly mother (with a walking stick) out of the way in a compact lift they wouldn’t have fit in anyway. Many wayward children without adult supervision including one actively bullying other children and witnessed seeing him hitting girls, throwing balls at their faces and climbing up the - switched off - slide without a single adult to be found. The food is well cooked however caters to a German palette including putting paprika (I think) all over the chips rendering them inedible to my neurodivergent son who was promptly sick on the first day and wouldn’t touch the food again. The entertainment is woeful and comprises darts, unmanaged adult waterpolo - in the children’s pool! - a mini disco supposed to start at 8.30 but on one particular evening started at 10.15?! We had to change rooms within the first 2 hours of arriving as the sheets were unclean, the curtain only covered one of the 2 windows leaving us watching blue neon flickering on and off from a hotel over the road and we couldn’t open the balcony door, posing a fire escape risk. The new room had what looked like a small patch of blood on the bed runner. My elderly parents were put in a room with only a bath which my disabled mother couldn’t access. She was unable to have a wash. The main lift wasn’t working when we arrived and wasn’t fixed for several days. We are a party of six and we are counting the days until we go home.
Been there from 13 July to 27 July with my family. Nothing bad to say, everything was great, clean room, clean pool, great food, great people who works there, everything was great. Im sure we will go back again some other time. Most important is that my kid and wife had a great time. Thank you Dosi. I will recomand this hotel to every family.
We were at Dosi Hotel for 7 day break. Food was fresh , varied everyday and very delicious. Pools great! Staff were polite and friendly especially lady called Dilek who was so welcoming every morning. Bus to beach was handy and lots of shops and bazaars in area . This hotel is in quiet side street and if you looking for a relaxing break with less noise, this is perfect. Definitely a good 4 star hotel and location.
The Dosi is great value for money. Going in peak August, the price was exceptional compared to higher star hotels we had stayed in nearby. Being a smaller hotel actually is nice thing as you feel valued more with the staff being a real credit to the hotel! With this in mind, reception staff were great, the two shops in house were manned by two lovely guys and their prices were very good but, we really liked the restaurant and bar staff including the main man who did the daily activities/night entertainment. All of which made you feel at home. If you're nice and polite to them, they make the effort with you. Highlights were definitely the rooms as our family room looked like it has been refurbished in recent years, cleaned too every other day and was nice to have two bedroom areas. Things you can tell with it being a four star hotel and the reason it doesn't get 5 stars from me ... The food isn't to the high standards as a more expensive hotel which is to be expected. Meats on evening meals were a real let down. Pancakes and omelettes in the morning our kids loved, evening food was ok but lacked a variety of things we liked however, we also found this in more expensive hotels in Turkey too. We loved the drinks with larger, cocktails and mocktails all on tap and a highlight was definitely the ice coffee and milkshakes at the bottom bar. The entrance to the hotel doesn't look impressive and the main reception is looking a little dated but you can live with this.
If you're looking for good value for money and don't want to stay in a huge hotel then this is a good place to stay but would only probably recommend a 7 day holiday.
We will definitely want to revisit at some point and thank you for making it a great holiday for us.
Just got back from the dosi hotel , we had a very nice time, we booked a garden veiw room , but asked if we could move to a pool veiw one, which we did at no extra cost, the room was nice, with a bath with a overhead shower, bring your own plug. The food was good, a large selection of different things ,the pool bar staff were pleasent ,the staff on reception were helpful, there were people from different parts of Europe there, overall we had a very nice holiday
