We have just returned from a weeks holiday at the Lara Hadrianus, We booked it through Travel Republic at a budget price, and we fully expected budget accomodation. We were surprised to find the rooms were nicely decorated and very clean; the rooms are air conditioned.
The hotel has a nice swiming pool complete with a water slide, it is cleaned every day and off a good standard.
The food at Lunch & Dinner were very good, but breakfast was very basic.
The guests were mainly Irainian; who were very friendly, however they did stare at the women around the pool.
The staff were very helpful and could not do enough for the guests, I would like to praise the housekeepers whos never stopped working hard the whole day.
It was our first trip to Turkey, it won't be our last

Me and my fiancee came here four our holiday for a week. The Iranians were very poor mannered and looked down on us all the time and the men constantly stared at me!! The food was ok but not a lot of choice and the puddings remainded the same every night. I had 2 men video camera me which made me very on edge!!
Nothing to do her either, the beach is pebbly and there are only a few restaurants and 2 clothes shops.
You also have to catch a bus if you want to go anywhere.
Overall holiday was RUBBISH!!!!!!!

My husband and i together with my friends were in Lara Hadrianus hotel from June 3rd-June 10th and all of us are satisfied with the hotel overall. We just pay 50$ per night for a double room and we think that the hotel was great enough for such a cost. The food and breakfast were good enough as well. So, if someone don't want to cost a lot of money for accommodation in Antaliya, i suggest to choose this hotel. Also, the transportation to the shopping centers and aqua land and the beach was so easy.
Have nice time

Definitely a Marmite hotel.
There are some aspects that border on excellent while others will take you to the limits of your tolerance.
We used it as a base to visit nearby Perge and Aspendos as well as Antalya Museum's superb collection of Greek and Roman statues.
It fulfilled this role more than adequately but as a holiday hotel for families with children or those expecting some sort of night-life (or service) , I'm considerably less confident.

The Hotel consists of 3 six-storey blocks set among a further 8 or 9 buildings of a broadly similar height.
To add an element of theme-park excitement these buildings are situated on the final-approach to Antalya airport. This allows you to enjoy eye-contact with the white-faced and sweating pilots as they flick from wing-tip to wing-tip while they jink between the buildings.
An exaggeration perhaps but forget any thought of a doze or even conversation by the (immaculately clean and deliciously warm) pool.
Aircraft noise is not intrusive in your very clean and comfortable room. If your room is one of the (presumably) 72 corner rooms, you can add spacious and well laid-out to the list. All rooms have superbly efficient and quiet aircon along with a fridge, hairdryer and tv (no English channel) . Many have a sea-view.
The bathroom provides everything you require of it (except a bath) and the hot water was always plentiful and around the temperature of molten plutonium.
Should you require it your towels will be changed daily and your (single) beds twice weekly.
During our week (which was quite long enough thankyou) the cavernous and featureless "canteen" (80+ tables in serried ranks) varied between feeding us plus a dozen or so others or hordes of 200+ recently disgorged from a flotilla of coaches.
These groups often brought a far higher percentage of wheelchairs, white-sticks and walking /hearing aids than you would expect apart from at Lourdes but they would disappear just after breakfast the following day taking, incidentally, the major constituents of the breakfast with them.
It would be churlish to criticise the food in view of the fact that the aubergine may well be sacred to a lot of the nationalities who use the hotel.
As other reviewers have said, the food is very "samey". It (probably) won't make you ill but neither will it bring joy to your heart.
If you're prepared to accept that you may be a tiny touch picky in what you eat, you will be suicidal by the third day.
The hotel falls between two stools. The logistics required to "over-night" groups numbering in hundreds on an almost daily basis are not the same as those required to provide a relaxed and "homely" atmosphere for people of different age-groups (and expectations) on an extended visit.
The hotel is very good at the former, less so at the latter.
On three occasions we received a dawn wake-up call on the off-chance that we might be part of that day's escapees. Our key-card was disabled twice.
On reflection this may well have been to see how close to a heart-attack they could take me and very possibly they were running a sweep-stake on it.
Survivors of desert plane-crashes would find it considerably easier to get a drink of water than we did. The two girls who alternated "serving" on the bar exploited their absence of English and the hotel policy of one drink per person by refusing to give me two glasses of water unless my wife came to the bar as well.
The fact that on the three occasions they did this we were the only people in the pool area did little for my blood-pressure.
I nearly forget the best bit. The basement houses a Hammam with a large sauna, huge marble steamroom and massage rooms. For 35 euro you will be pampered to within an inch of your life by a team of Russian massueses. It really is superb value and will be followed by the best night's sleep you've had in years.
