Title: Malahit Hotel...looks fab, but
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on September 19, 2015, 06:24:17 AM
This Hotel looks so good and the pictures on the website are fabulous, but, Phil and I were saying what a strange place to build an Hotel.  It is right next to Tansas on the M.K.Bld.   Must be awkward for strangers staying there to get into Fethiye or Calis.

This Hotel belongs to and was built by our next door neighbour Onat, it is mostly business people that stay there although he has told us that tourists are also staying there, as regard's to getting to and from Fethiye and Calis, the Dolmus stops outside and it's a stone's throw away from a walk along the Kordon.
The Hotel has been open for almost two years now.

Hmm! Looking at the prices (200-300 TL a night) I think I'd give it a miss...
You might be hard pushed to get a beer there too  ;)

Philrose, the hotel is mostly used by people here on business, they stay for a day or a couple of nights, would mostly be Turkish, I don't think it would be a choice of Hotel for a holiday,but is a beautiful Hotel and a great location if clients don't want to be in the centre of Fethiye. Most clients that stay there arrive by car, Although it's expensive It's well worth it, you can also spend the day there  for 50 Lira and use all the facilities, but it is very quiet.

I'm liking the curved walls and doors in the bathrooms - very modern  ;D

It's a beautiful hotel....with the new prom it's easy to walk to Fethiye or Calis.... Or Dolmus outside... My cousin decided last minute to visit us....as we had a full house...we checked various hotes near...Went to the Malahit hotel we were quoted 130 tlr per night... Very good... Most hotels are fully booked next week...

Reminds me a bit of the Tiryaki.  Lovely luxury Hotel, but out in the sticks.

Think I'd much prefer to be at the Malahit than stuck up in Blackpool on t'hill, which is also marketed on some sites as being Fethiye  ???

Out in the sticks ???? am I missing something here ?
Title: Re: Malahit Hotel...looks fab, but

Maybe a different Malahit Hotel...we are just at Deniz Ati and Malahit Boutique is 5 mins walk away... The view is amazing!!!  Fethiye to the left...Calis go the right... Bright red quarter moon in the sky above....Luverly....

Certainly not out in the sticks, right next to Tansas, approx equidistant to Fethiye and Calis which is why we chose to stay in that area for the last four years. Perfect position in our opinion. We can walk into Fethiye or Calis or just catch one of the constant dolmus' running back and forth.  :D

To someone new to the area they might wish to be either Fethiye or Calis and not in the middle and would like to walk out of their Hotel and be nearby to the resort or the town.
I have read reports on the Tiryaki saying it is lovely, but too far from the prom and main street.  A lot of tourists want the convenience of being in the hub of things and don't want to walk or get dolmus.

Lot's of tourists get the Dolmus from Calis into Fethiye day and night and vice versa, out in the sticks this Hotel certainly is not as other members have pointed out, so let's put this topic to bed and start a fresh one
Title: Re: Malahit Hotel...looks fab, but
Post by: Jacqui Harvey on September 20, 2015, 09:01:47 AM
To touriss who do not want to walk or get a dolmus it is out in the sticks.   I know many people who have been coming to Calis for years and have only stayed around the prom and the main street with perhaps a visit to the market or a  trip on the water taxi and staying in near the prom is of great importance to them.
I read T.A. all the time some folk complain the the Harman is too far from the beach also the Kelebek Apartments which is a lovely place and about 15 minutes walk to the prom has been critisied for being too remote.  A Canadian lady on T.A. who had booked into the Yacht Classic and  then she found out where it was in Fethiye immediately cancelled and book an Hotel in the town as she said it was too far out for her to walk or get a bus.
Many regulars and ex-pats know the area well and do not mind a dolmus ride or a walk.  The new tourtist is totally different and staying right  in a place i.e. Calis or Fethiye is important to them.  They do not want dolmus rides or walks after a night out.
I also think it is entirely up to the moderators on this Forum if an item is "put to bed"

Yes I totally agree with your last sentence

We just had a two night stay at the Tiriyaki and loved it, soooo peaceful and just a two or three minute stagger home from the Shangai Blues, you get half an hour free in the sauna and hamam tho this dies not include a scrub or a person in any shape or form so i went and got a mitt (5tl)and a bar of soap and we did it ourselves  :)
Can anyone please tell me what this hotel was before, i can remember nine years ago walking to the market on Sundays and passing a blue building which looked run down and im sure said something Ockabasi on the side but Mrkarennina says im wrong!
Sorry to have hijacked your thread Jacqui!  ;D

If you two could stop complaining about each other and just hack lumps out of each other in private there would be nothing to moderate in topics about a bleedin hotel

Happy Sunday to all

Hi Karen,
We had a tour around the Tiriyaki when it opened and loved it. It was so nice inside and we saw the Sauna and Treatment Rooms.  We also had a meal there and it was really nice.  We were told by the Manager that the owner is a Galatasaray Fan which is why the illuminated stair rail is yellow and red.  Also loved the bedroom with the jacuzzi on one side and the bed on the other with the revolving T.V. in the middle... Did you stay in that room. ??   :)
Not read much about the place for a while so good to hear you liked it.

I wouldn't like a revolving TV, you'd miss half the programme  ;)

We were only booked for one night but loved it soo much that we booked a second night...
No we did not have that room tho we had a nosey in there as was empty and the door was open!
We had the room next door which had a jacquizi bath and one of those rainbow showers....Lovely big telly  with a dvd player which is great for insomniacs like me!
The telly could be spun round and it was a mirror the other side...
Also a gorgeous comfy bed and lovely soft bedding, i dispise those horrible scratchy top sheet/blanketthings you get in a lot of hotels in Turkry...

We commented on the colours of the stairway and being illuminated as it was a different touch...
We both said we would defo stay there again...Yes its a bit strange being in a residential area but as we know the area it did not bother us at all  :)
