Dear potential guest, if you are reading this review, please do yourself a favor and DO NOT STAY at Onkel residence hotel in Antalya. There are so many other great places nearby. You can read my story and understand why I had such a bad experience at Onkel residence below. My family and I stayed in this hotel for a week in April 2021. I am an avid traveler, I travel domestically and internationally 6-8 times a year and this was my seventh visit to Turkey. I always read reviews before booking my hotels and, although, this place had some 1 *(star) reviews/warnings already, I gave it a benefit of a doubt, because there was some good feedback on this place as well. Oh boy, was I wrong! I strongly recommend avoiding this place if you want to save yourself money and not experience a lot of stress during your vacation. Although everything looks okey from the pictures online, a lot of information about this place is misleading, in reality you find yourself in a remote location, quite away from a dirty beach, there are half-broken elevator buttons, scratched walls, broken furniture and, as the “best part”, you may deal with a terrible management attitude. The location of this hotel is the biggest disappointment, they claim it is located near the beach, well, in reality you will be in the port area, you will need to walk ~20 min across the highway and port gates to get to a dirty unmaintained beach area with garbage laying around. You will ABSOLUTELY need a car to get anywhere, to get to a Konyaalti beach area and restaurants, it will be around 7-10 min drive depending on traffic. From the positives, I can mention a free parking and that the place was relatively clean and spacious. Our A/C did not work, it would start and shut off after a minute. You will need to use one remote to operate every A/C (we had three rooms, good luck sharing it) if it works for you. They checked with maintenance personnel on our A/C issue twice, told us something was done with it, but it did not fix the problem. I gave up on this issue after some time (I was just tired of calling and trying successfully resolve it instead of enjoying my vacation) and just slept with my windows open. It may not work for you if you are light sleeper, you can hear the noise from the street and nearby rooms. There is no view from the room, balconies are facing each other, so not a lot of privacy and you will hear a lot of noise from neighbors. Wifi was quite slow and would disconnect several times a day. I stayed in the apartment with my retired parents and on the last day of our stay, while we were having dinner, a dining chair literally fell apart under my dad (just so you know, he is a skinny guy and weights 65kg). He hurt his arm and fell on his back hitting his head on a stoned floor, but we decided not to make a big deal of it, as it was the end of our trip, we did not want to concentrate on any negatives. I called the reception right away, same evening, to inform them about what happened an
