I liked how well equipped and clean it was. They also have the best Turkish breakfast I have ever had (I've had a lot). The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I would stay here again in the future.

My first association about st. Nicolas Pension that we have stayed in is: «Eden». When arrived, I’ve kindly asked the guys to show some nicer room, and oh they did. The guys also gave the vase with an ice for our flowers. The room was just the required size for me and my girl, and we had great time spending the evenings at the terrace. We were siting under the olive tree, having lemons and pomegranate trees around us and picturesque view on the mountain in front of us which lighted playful colours at night. This was a great background for being there together. Overall it a great time was we’ve spent most of the time outside, and the little surprise was the loud voice of prayer in the morning. The breakfast was quite well nourishing. And I liked curtains and flowers around restaurant. In the picture's there're moment from a one video (a beautiful sunset and the other room where my father had his room), didn't have time to take any photos, enjoyed the moment. As it was I first two nights we’ve spent in the Turkey It remained as pleasing and memorable.

Visited a couple of times before. Village restaurants not so good as previously. Simbar charging more than in Kalkan for cocktails! Village generally very quiet this time, no buzz, however first time visiting in Sept, which may account for this. Bus timetable not worth publishing as they come when they want and don't always go to the bus station.

Despite its popularity, Patara remains a traditional Turkish village. This is because it is protected for both archaeological and nature reasons. Turtles nest here. We visit regularly. It is all accessible on foot but if it's very hot or you have trouble walking any distance, it is best to get the dolmus to the beach. Yes, you have to pay to enter the beach but this is because it is part of an archaeological site. The beach was very, very crowded on a hot summer weekend (avoid in high season if you don't like crowds) but it is so long it's easy to find space to sit and swim. Patara is very convenient for visits to other sites like Xanthos and Letoon.

Patara must be the one of the most perfect holiday destinations. An enormous, world class beach which means it is never crowded.
In addition you walk past or through the excavated Lycian and Roman ruins of the ancient port city - amazing!
And, of course, the wonderful generosity and good nature of the locals.

The village was small and very chilled with no hassle.
The village was small and very chilled with no hassle. I'm a single Mum and went with my 11 year old daughter and it was such a safe environment. The people were really helpful and friendly. It actually reminded me a bit of Guatemala, bit of a hippy laid back vibe, no McDonalds etc in sight! The beach was amazing, great waves for body boarding and miles of golden sand with only one beach restaurant, so unspoilt! Surrounded by ruins and a laying ground for turtles has ensured Patara beach isn't flooded with shops, beach bars etc, so 10 miles of loveliness. Best beach I've ever been to in Europe easily... Food in Patara is really affordable, booze a bit more (Muslim country) but fine. Some restaurants don't sell booze but plenty do! Spent so much less this holiday than in Greece. I never usually go to the same place twice but would seriously consider returning to Patara. Loved it!
The pensiyon is located right at the center of this beautiful little town. During the day there is a bit of hustle and bustle because the centre comes to life with shoppers, tourists and locals, but in the evening all goes quiet and tranquil. The motel is a 20 minute walk to Patara's beautiful seaside and on the way you can see Patara's ruins. The staff at the hotel is exceptional, always on hand with a smile and a laugh. This place is highly recommended.
Patara was one of our biggest positive surprises during our stay in Turkey. It's a beautiful place and I would recommend anyone to visit.
The hotel itself is new with friendly owners. We especially remembered the delicious breakfasts with freshly baked bread and home made specialties (cheeses, jams).
The hotel is within walking distance of the center of Gelemiş town.
I recommend especially to families with children :)
The view from the balcony is really nice, towards the mountains and a town below. The garden of the hotel is really beautiful, full of various plants that create a really cozy atmosphere of the place. Another plus is that the breakfast terrace is located just above the garden, so you can enjoy this nice place even more. The breakfast is good, one of the few hotels I've visited in Turkey that serve delicious cookies :)
We returned to the Hotel after a visit 14 years ago and were not disappointed. Serdar and his wife were the perfect hosts and could not do enough for us. The breakfast was very good and the pool perfect. Lifts down to the beach were offered every day. Two special barbecues helped make the stay a very memorable one indeed.
Great location in a small town near Patara beach and dunes. We liked the breakfast very much and the terrace where it was served is beautiful. Markets and restaurants are very close and offer good prices. There is a fridge and kettle on the first floor if you need it. Free and fast wifi, laundry service for a reasonable fee.
This was our favorite place to stay in Turkey. The couple that run it are so warm and giving. The location is perfect, nature all around and a great beach 10 minutes away.

The two best aspects were;
1. The staff - absolutely fantastic! An asset to this hotel, from the front desk to to the housekeeper.. all hard working and very helpful and obliging. A special thank you to Tulay and Ilkay Basak. You made our stay memorable.
2
The pool. A lovely large pool in a lovelu setting.
Great Hotel. We stayed for three nights and enjoyed our stay very much. It was clean and the staff super helpful. The location is great for Patara beach amd exploring the surroundings. Breakfast was served on the patio and was delicious. The room was clean and had everything one needs.
The staff is extremely responsive! They always strive to assist, are kind, and speak English. We missed breakfast and went downstairs at 11 a.m. to check out of the hotel. However, they still provided us with a meal.
The hotel is conveniently located near the ruins of Patara.
It’s just perfect! Clean and spacious rooms, perfect location. Cool pool (if you don’t want to go to the patara beach). Quite and safe area. Breakfast is amazing. Arif and his hotel team are very helpful and friendly. Thank you for this awesome experience.
This is a very good budget option in Patara. The accommodation is basic, but clean and everything works (including aircon). The staff was very friendly, the location was fine, and the fairly basic breakfast was improved with fresh-baked bazlama bread.
Very friendly and helpful hosts (we were hiking part of the Lycian way) who went out of their way to help us
Amazing home cooked evening meals
Swimming pool
Great location for the Lycian way
Not far to walk to Patara ancient city and beach
I liked how well equipped and clean it was. They also have the best Turkish breakfast I have ever had (I've had a lot). The room was comfortable and the staff was friendly. I would stay here again in the future.
It is a nice and cosy place run by a friendly family. Food was good and in large portions. The hotel is right next to the main road, so it easy to reach and there was not much noise. The room/hotel was clean.
The host is German, who can speak good English. The pool is very clean and warm, overlooking the valley. It is in Patara town, convenient to visit both Patara ancient city and the beach.
We loved the hotel, the clean room, great breakfast, super friendly team, nice location, swimming pool. Everything! Don´t hesitate to book, you will enjoy your stay.
Exceptionally high level of service and hospitality. Best hotel in Patara and probably in Turkey
Daily transfer to the longest and most beautiful beach in Turkey
Very well located. In the center of Patara. And not too far from the beach.
Quiet with a nice restaurant offering delicious Turkish food.
