Patio Hotel: Kaleici hotel with scuba diving on site

Patio Hotel stands on Hesapci Gecidi Sokak, in the Kilicarslan Mahallesi of Kaleici, Antalya. The nearest landmark is Antalya Mosque, about 0.4 km away in a straight line. Antalya Museum is about 2.2 km from the hotel, and Antalya Airport (AYT) about 8.1 km. It is a straightforward hotel property with six room types, not an apartment building or a resort.

The hotel has six room types, and size is the clearest dividing line. The Basic Single Room and the Budget Single Room are the smallest at 10 m² each, and each sleeps one. The Basic Single Room has a double bed and a city view; the Budget Single Room has a single bed and looks out on city, garden and mountain. At the same 10 m², the Basic Single Room's double bed simply gives a solo traveller more bed.

The Standard Triple Room is the largest at 25 m², sleeps up to three in one single bed and one double bed, and has city, garden and mountain views. In between sit three rooms of 15 m²: the Standard Double Room, with a double bed and space for two; the Standard Twin Room, with two single beds and space for three; and the Room, a double-bed room that also sleeps up to three, with a city view.

Views follow the same split. The Budget Single Room, Standard Double Room, Standard Twin Room and Standard Triple Room each take in city, garden and mountain; the Basic Single Room and the Room offer a city view alone.

For a couple, the Standard Double Room is the straightforward choice. Three people fit the Standard Triple Room, the Standard Twin Room or the Room, and the hotel's family rooms point the same way.

The hotel has a restaurant and room service, so meals can be taken in the room rather than sought outside.

With family rooms, a restaurant and room service, the hotel covers the practical side of a family stay. A shuttle service runs for a fee.

The rules are few and clear, and two of them, pets and parking, are the ones most likely to affect a booking decision.

• Check-in is from 14:00; check-out is until 11:00.
• Children are allowed.
• Pets are not allowed.
• The hotel has no parking.

Solo travellers are well served: two rooms built for one, a restaurant and room service for evenings in, and diving on site if the trip is built around it. Couples have the Standard Double Room, and a party of three can choose between the Standard Triple Room, the Standard Twin Room and the Room.

Families fit: children are allowed, family rooms exist, and the 25 m² Standard Triple Room is the largest space in the hotel. What the hotel does not offer is parking, so a traveller arriving by car has nowhere to leave it, and pets cannot stay at all.

For everyone else, the decision inside the hotel comes down to space and view: 10 m² with a city view, 15 m² with a choice of city, garden and mountain or a city view alone, or the 25 m² triple sleeping three.
