I have stayed here before half a dozen times and always receive a warm welcome. The staff go out of their way to accommodate any requests made. This is a budget hotel and the rooms are a bit dated decor wise but they are spotlessly clean and each room looks onto the pool and has a small garden area or balcony each. I particularly like swimming and the pool is ideal for exercising because it is long and deep enough but is still fine for kids. The water is warm.
The bedroom door opens onto to a balcony or garden area with chairs and it is very pleasant to sit in the shade when it is too warm. Breakfast is what you would usually expect in Turkey and is buffet style seated beside the pool under a large tree. There is an option to eat in their own quaint restaurant at the front of the hotel.
Recently my daughter, baby and I went there on a walk and before they realised that I had booked there online for that evening, they immediately asked if we wanted to use the pool.
The hotel is a very short walk away from Bitez beach (less than a couple of minutes across the road and down a lane) and there is a handy shop selling everything you could need on holiday across the road in the other direction.
Give it a try. I have booked privately on booking.com and travel republic.

This is the 10th time we have stayed at the Safir Hotel. This is a fab little hotel, the staff can not do enough for you. It is basic but a very clean, great size pool, and a lovely restaurant too, great food at a reasonable price. Can't wait to go back again. Would highly recommend to anyone. Thanks Ergün, Akin, Bobby and the all rest of the staff for looking after us and making it another great holiday xx Karen & Sue

Fantastic setting and great food

We have been visiting Bitez with the last 5 years. We are just back from a week there. We have never stayed in Safir Hotel but are planning to stay there on our next visit. We stopped there on the second night of our holiday for a bite to eat and had to keep returning as the food and ambiance was so good. Safir has a small restaurant and bar. The food is great and the cocktails are fabulous. The staff are lovely too. I would highly recommend a visit to this very pretty restaurant.

Worst place I have ever stayed

Where do I start with the Safir? We went to this hotel in July 14 on a B & B basis.
This has to be the worst place I have ever stayed, in terms of the rooms & the breakfast.
The bed was a very old, frayed, dirty mattress on the floor & to make matters worse it was broken.
The room was very dark with one very low wattage bulb in the high ceiling, no bedside tables or lamps.
The curtain didn't fit the window.
The bathroom was a death trap with an unsafe electric point and a shower that had a broken bracket & was so high that I could only just reach it & I'm 5' 7"! I had an accident when the shower hose took on a life of it's own & water went everywhere, soap in my eyes trying to unhook it from the wall my full bottles of shampoo etc fell off the cheap plastic tray & hit my foot which swelled so much I had to hobble to the nearest store to buy Crocs in the next size up as I couldn't find anything else I could walk in. This was all reported to the staff but they could not have cared less.
We ended up paying £150 to upgrade to one of 4 rooms they reserve for Turkish people, these rooms are not advertised!
The "breakfast" was a joke, no cooked food, no fruit, no tea, weak fruit juice, hard boiled eggs and sausages that looked like fossils, the counter tops were filthy, the bread was lovely though, every cloud....
I know some of you will think "It's Turkey, what does she expect?" but I have been to Turkey many times, my 1st trip was in the late 80's & I have to say the room I stayed in was very basic but compared to what the Safir offers it was like a boutique hotel. The Safir advertises itself as a budget hotel, we did not pay budget prices, with the cost of the upgrade we paid over £1,000.
It was the owners 1st season & she actually asked the Turkish guy staying in the room next to ours for his help after he had a go at her about the conditions of the breakfast area, he was scouting the area for a new business venture having sold his hotel, he asked her if she wanted to sell, I wish she had.
There were signs around the hotel banning the bringing in of food & drink from outside, not just to the pool area but also the rooms, on one occasion a lady had just returned from a day out & sat by the pool to finish a can of drink before going to her room, the owner marched up to her with one of the signs & waved it right under her nose, she is so lucky she didn't do that to me!
The outside space was lovely but on several occasions the staffs children took over the pool area & were very noisy & unsupervised even though there were signs prohibiting children from the area without an adult! Perhaps that just applies to paying guests!
I could go on but I will just end by saying this, I would not stay at this hotel even if they gave me a free holiday. One more thing, I have just noticed the photo at the top of this page, this is not a photo of a regular room !! It's like the one we paid to move to. I hope to post some photo's of my own.
