Citrus Park Hotel: pool, family rooms and free parking

Citrus Park Hotel stands on Arapsuyu Mahallesi 608 Sokak in Antalya. Antalya Museum is about 2.6 km away, in a straight line, and Antalya Mosque about 4.6 km. Antalya Airport (AYT) is about 12.6 km away, and the hotel runs an airport shuttle for a fee, in both directions, which spares you the question of how to arrive and leave with luggage.

If you are driving, parking at the hotel is free, so a hire car works here without a daily parking cost on top of the room.

Six room types make up the hotel, and the differences between them are size, beds and view rather than anything else. Three of them, the Economy Quadruple Room, the Standard Double Room and the Superior Double Room, are all 22 m². The Economy Quadruple Room has three twin beds and no stated view; the Standard Double Room has one twin and one double bed and a city view; the Superior Double Room has one queen bed, sleeps up to 3 and also has a city view. A couple wanting the simplest arrangement takes the Superior; two friends sharing take the Standard; a group of three or four on a budget takes the Economy Quadruple.

Two rooms step up to 30 m². The Quadruple Room with Garden View has three twin beds and looks onto the garden. The Family Room has two twin beds and one super-king bed in the same footprint, an arrangement that suits parents and children splitting the beds between them.

The largest room is the 40 m² Deluxe Suite, with one queen bed and two sofa beds, sleeping up to 5, with a city view.

The hotel has an outdoor pool, a restaurant and a bar, so eating and drinking on the premises is possible without going out in the evening. There are family rooms, a lift and facilities for disabled guests, and the property is wheelchair accessible, which matters to anyone with limited mobility or a pushchair. The pool is seasonal, so it is not a year-round feature.

An airport shuttle is available for a fee, and the front desk is staffed around the clock. Free WiFi, air conditioning and heating run through the property, and non-smoking rooms are offered alongside a designated smoking area. For families, the combination of family rooms, children allowed and a garden with outdoor furniture and sun loungers makes the hotel work with children in tow.

Check-in is from 14:00 and check-out until 12:00, a fairly standard window that still leaves the morning for a late breakfast or an early start. Children are allowed at the hotel, and pets are not. Parking is free for guests arriving by car.

It suits a traveller with a car, since parking is free, and a traveller who wants an outdoor pool and a restaurant without leaving the building. It does not suit anyone travelling with a pet, as pets are not allowed. Anyone set on a pool in the cooler months should note the outdoor pool is seasonal.
