We had a great fortnight here at this hotel, it was our second trip to Turkey but first to Alanya, a very interesting place to see. Yes you have to barter for the best prices but it was done over tea & with smiles, when my husband wanted to get some shoes he even received a pair of socks!
Our trip was during the Icelandic ash cloud period which actually caused us only a little delay due to visiting for 2 weeks unfortunately some of the Danish people we met went home by coach 5 days worth of travel at least. The hotel was very good, beds superb & food very nice.

Brilliant holiday except for call to prayers but to be expected!

We got a very good deal and used this as a base to explore the whole of southern turkey and cappodocia with a hire car. We had a room with a sea and castle view which was very decent and clean. (the cleaners were very sweet and friendly). The hotel is set a little back from the main seafront road and about 100m from the sea. Guests get access to the 'beach club' of the Gunes Beach Hotel and this is well worth using. Everywhere in Alanya is within walking distance.

Staff were very helpful and friendly- we were the only English people staying the rest of the guest were scandanavian. This is a reasonably basic (very clean and well maintained) hotel but great location and excellent value for money.

Gunes House Hotel Alanya

First things first, I will clarify which hotel this review is for, as there are three hotels from the same group which appear to be sharing reviews on Trip Advisor. This review is for Gunes House in Alanya (pronounced ‘Gunesh’ by the locals) which is 90 seconds walk from the beach, with a Migros supermarket between the hotel & the beach

It is not a review for the Gunes Sun time hotel which is across the road, or for the Gunes Beach hotel which is a five minutes walk away, on the beach

We booked a late deal in early August through Thompson & then checked reviews and were horrified with accounts of rude guests, rude staff, inedible food, dirty rooms, no sun beds available after 6.00am etc! The photos available of the hotel online certainly looked nice enough & so we convinced ourselves that it couldn’t be that bad and it certainly wasn’t ….it was a fantastic holiday, in a really nice quiet hotel.

We arrived at 5.00am & were met by an English speaking receptionist who had us in our rooms within 10 minutes. 

We are a family of five & so my son & I had one room & my wife & two Daughters were in the room next door. Both rooms were spacious enough for three single beds (we only had two in our room) & had a bathroom with shower cubical & a balcony with a small table and two chairs. The rooms had a long dressing table with mirror & plenty of drawers & wardrobe space. The room had a fridge which was ideal for supplies of drinking water & also had air con included in the price & a safe which could be hired for two Euros per day. There was also a TV which received one UK channel (BBC World News Service)

The room was spotlessly clean on arrival & throughout our stay, as the maid came daily. 

The deal we had booked was bed & breakfast & breakfast was served from 8.00am. It was an extension of the traditional Turkish breakfast with mountains of fresh bread, honey, tomato, boiled eggs, cucumber, cheese, sausage, cornflakes & numerous dried fruits.

As we were only there for a week, we ate breakfast promptly & were round the pool by 8.30am, to maximize the sun time! There were 48 sun beds & I never saw every one taken. There were maybe two or three with towels ‘reserving’ them when we got down to the pool each morning but never any more than this. Talk of not being able to get a sun beds on other reviews is nonsense from our experience. 

Most of the guests were either Danish or Finish with a couple of other British families & I didn’t encounter any rudeness from guests or staff whatsoever. One staff member told us that up to last year the hotel had sold all inclusive packages predominantly to the Russian market but from 2012, Russian travel agents now sold packages to the sister hotel the ‘Gunes Sun time’ hotel which is across the street.

There is a pool side bar selling drinks, snacks & ice creams, food can be ordered & is then brought to your sun bed by the bar staff. 

We had never been to Alanya before & didn’t do a huge amount of exploring due to just being there for one week but a 90 second walk from the hotel past Migros, brings you onto the main road which runs parallel to the beach. Turning right takes you towards the centre of Alanya & the Ataturk statue, turning left there is also a large stretch of shops & restaurants. We ate out each night & had great meals at EV restaurant (past the Ataturk Statue) & ‘Why Not’ which was just a few minutes walk, after turning left on the beach road. 

It is a leisurely 10 minute walk into the resort centre which has huge bazaar type shopping areas on both sides of the main road. The ‘genuine fakes’ that Turkey is famous for are plentiful with hand bags/clothing/Converse & Vans footwear/Watches etc in every other shop. 

The weather as expected in August was 40-50 degrees each day & we were getting 2.72 YTL to the £, the best rate that we’ve ever had in six visits to Turkey.

Our advice would be to ignore the pre 2012 reviews, Gunes house is a great place for a holiday & we wouldn’t hesitate to return again.

Ignore pre-2012 reviews......It's great now!

If you are looking for a great location with a basic but very clean room then this hotel is really quite reasonable. The staff there were very helpful and friendly and there is a lovely English speaking lady who can help you if don't understand Turkish. They put lots of effort in ensuring that their guests are happy and put on nights such as live music nights and Turkish nights! I also had a Turkish bath which is something they can sort out for you at a price and i really recommend this at the beginning of your holiday for relaxation and you'll feel really clean!

Breakfast is a typical Turkish breakfast and has a basic mixture of cheeses, spreads, cereal, juice etc. It isn't an amazing breakfast but it is edible and quite nice!! We also drank at the bar and it was very enjoyable! 
The pool is a decent size and is a nice option if you want a break from the beach. 

We stayed for a week and had a very pleasant experience. Alanya is an absolutely lovely area of Antalya, there are lots of tours you can go on and we got the bus up to the castle and had a wonderful day exploring. There are lots of shopping opportunities and wonderful places to eat! Of course the weather is great alot of the time and the beach is a nice beach and with this hotel you can also get free deck chairs on their own private area of the beach- just remember to ask for your ticket! 

The best selling point of this hotel is the location, you are 2 minutes away from a supermarket, a couple of minutes away from shops, restaurants and bars, also a few minutes away from the beach and the bus stop. With this hotel you really are central to everything in Alanya which enabled us to explore more of this lovely area because everything was so easy to get to! This hotel is basic but a decent service and i would definately recommend it if you are looking for a base hotel to sleep in at night!

Decent hotel, fabulous location

This is a hotel for those who doesn't care much about comfort, pefering central location, modest price and a simple, but fine cuisine instead.
Migros supermarket is situated just some 3 mins away, as well as few very nice cafes.

Cheap and shabby neatness...

I was in Gunes Suntime 4 years ago and it was much better that what we have right now.
Cleaning of the room is bad, the food is so so, barmen is not good, alcohol is only turkish.
Location is good -this is the only plus i have found there, and never gonna back to the hotel again.

I disliked the hotel

room ok nice and spacious,food not very good very little to choose from,no room around the pool,small bar only one barman serving and collecting glasses,the attitude of some of the reception staff very arrogant felt anti-british so we will not be using this hotel again

ok if  you like chicken and salad

They played techno/Dance music All Day at the pool area. It was so loud we couldn't hear ourselves think - we had to flee to the beach...and also No opportunity for an afternoon nap if needed. VERY bad food, VERY bad service and the employees can't speak more than a very few words of english. I asked Them a couple of times to turn the Music Down or maybe even turn it off - But it Didn't Help anything at all. This place is equivalent to Sunny Beach, and I really don't understand why they present it as a family hotel at some travel agencies. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!! :-( - only plus is that the Beach is close by.. Bad experience for sure.

DON'T GO THERE

all inclusive is disgraceful, food which looks like slop in a tray, hotel full of rude eastern europeans, unhelpful and rude staff, thomas cook should remove this hotel from its brochure. we were told we would be put up in the sister hotel across the road but still had to come into this hotel for food and drinks.....if your booked to go on this holiday ask for your money back its really not worth it. ive stayed in a lot of hotels and and i believe as long as there clean and the staff are ok then u get what u pay for but in this case its the worst hotel ive seen

never again.....horrendous !!!!

before booking this hotel i checked it out on trip advisor,at first glance i was not overly impressed but there were a couple of decent reviews from my fellow travellers so i thought i would take a chance as it was very reasonably priced,what a mistake it was on my part.i cant stress enough how bad this hotel is from arrival to departure everything from the food and drink (worst all inc i have ever encountered) to the complete lack of hospitality from the staff and fellow guests (the clue is in the review title) was appalling, i have nothing good to say about this hotel but the resort was very nice with plenty of nice restaurants and bars luckily.
