Route Hotel Kaleici: adults-only hotel in Kaleici, Antalya

Route Hotel Kaleici is an independent hotel, not part of a chain, on Hidirlik Sokak, in the Kilincarslan Mahallesi part of Kaleici, in the Muratpasa district of Antalya.

In a straight line, Antalya Mosque is about 0.4 km from the hotel, Antalya Museum about 2.2 km, and Antalya Airport about 8.1 km. The mosque is the closest of the three; the airport is the farthest, and the figure a traveller flying in will want.

Seven room types run from a single traveller's room to a two-bedroom suite, and the spread is wide: the smallest is 12 m², the largest 50 m². The Basic Single Room, at 12 m² with one twin bed and a city view, is the smallest and sleeps one. The Basic Double or Twin Room, at 15 m² with one double bed, sleeps two. The Basic Triple Room, at 20 m², has one queen bed and one twin bed, sleeps three, and suits adults sharing a room without all sharing a bed.

Couples have three further options, differing in bed, view and building. The Deluxe Double Room has one queen bed and a garden view. The Panoramic Double Room has one king bed, a terrace and a sea view. The Elite Studio Suite, in the annex building, is 25 m² with one king bed and a city view. The Exclusive Suite, also in the annex building, is the largest room here: 50 m², two bedrooms, one king bed and two twin beds, a garden view, and space for up to four. It is the only room that sleeps more than three, and the natural choice for a group of adults together.

Views divide three ways. The Basic Single, the Basic Double or Twin, the Basic Triple and the Elite Studio Suite have city views; the Deluxe Double and the Exclusive Suite have garden views; the Panoramic Double Room alone has a sea view, and it is the only room with a terrace.

Children are not allowed, and pets are not allowed. Every room, including the four-place Exclusive Suite with its two bedrooms, is for adults only. That makes the hotel a straightforward choice for couples and groups of friends, and rules it out for families and for anyone travelling with an animal.

Check-in is from 14:00, and check-out is until 12:00; a traveller planning an early flight or a late arrival should plan around them.

The hotel has parking, but with limited spaces, so a traveller arriving by car cannot count on a space; anyone for whom parking is essential should weigh that before choosing. The hotel is wheelchair accessible. It also has a banquet hall, a facility for events and functions rather than for an everyday stay.

A solo traveller fits the Basic Single Room. A couple chooses between the Basic Double or Twin, the Deluxe Double, the Panoramic Double and the Elite Studio Suite: the first two differ in bed and view, the Panoramic Double adds a terrace and the sea view, and the Studio Suite moves to the annex building. Three adults fit the Basic Triple Room; four fit the Exclusive Suite, the only room with two bedrooms.

The hotel does not suit families with children, anyone travelling with a pet, or a traveller who needs parking to be guaranteed rather than limited. For solo travellers, couples and groups of up to four adults, one of the seven room types will fit, and the adults-only rule means no children anywhere in the hotel.
