Piyes Otel: adults-only hotel in Muratpasa, Antalya

Piyes Otel is an independent hotel on Elmali Mahallesi in the Muratpasa district of Antalya. It belongs to no chain, and its five room types and its rules are its own.

Antalya Mosque is about 0.5 km from the hotel and Antalya Museum about 2.2 km, in a straight line. Antalya Airport (AYT) is about 8 km away, in a straight line, a figure worth having in mind when planning an arrival or a departure.

The five room types divide into two clear groups. For one to three travellers there are the Deluxe Single Room, City View at 23 m² with one king bed, the Deluxe Triple Room at 23 m² with one king and one twin bed, and the Deluxe Double or Twin Room, City View at 25 m² with one king bed. The Single room sleeps up to 2 despite its name, so it serves a couple as readily as a solo guest, while the Double or Twin sleeps up to 3. The Triple shares the 23 m² footprint of the Single and adds a twin bed to its king, which suits two guests who prefer separate beds.

For larger parties, the Family Quadruple Room at 37 m² and the Family Studio at 40 m² each have one double bed and two twin beds and each sleep up to 5. The Studio is the largest room in the hotel and has a city view, as do the Single and the Double or Twin. Since children are not allowed at the hotel, these two rooms are best read as rooms for adult groups of four or five rather than family rooms in the usual sense.

The restaurant is wheelchair accessible, and so are the parking and the van parking, which means a guest who uses a wheelchair can arrive by car and eat at the hotel without steps standing in the way.

Beyond the hotel's own facilities, scuba diving is available nearby.

Check-in runs from 14:00 and check-out is until 11:30, so arrivals are from mid-afternoon and departures need to be wrapped up by late morning. Two rules then shape who can stay: children are not allowed, and pets are not allowed.

The hotel is, in effect, an adults-only property. Anyone travelling with a child or with an animal will need a different hotel, whatever room type they had in mind.

The rooms and the rules together define the hotel's guest. With no children and no pets allowed, king-bed rooms for one to three travellers, and two larger rooms sleeping up to 5, Piyes Otel works best for adults travelling alone, as a couple, or as a group.

• Couples and solo travellers: three rooms of 23 to 25 m², each with a king bed, cover this ground, and two of them have a city view.
• Adult groups of four or five: the Family Quadruple Room and the Family Studio each sleep up to 5 on one double and two twin beds.
• Travellers who use a wheelchair: the restaurant, the parking and the van parking are all wheelchair accessible.
• Divers: scuba diving is available nearby.
• Families with children cannot stay, and neither can guests with pets.
