Dardanos Mini Hotel is a true gem in the heart of Patara. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and instantly makes you feel at home. The owner, Arif, is genuinely caring, very professional, always on site, he greets you every morning with a happy face, goes above and beyond to make sure every guest feels comfortable and looked after. His presence adds a personal touch that makes the hotel feel more like staying with friends than in a guesthouse. The rooms are simple, clean, and comfortable, with everything you need for a relaxed stay, comfortable beds, pillows, a/c, reliable wifi. Many have charming balconies where you can enjoy the fresh air and evening quiet of Patara. The hotel itself has a peaceful garden setting, perfect for unwinding after a long day exploring. Breakfast is generous and fresh, often served with local touches—cheese, olives, bread, homemade jams, and seasonal fruit. It’s the kind of start to the day that lingers in your memory. Location-wise, I would say it's off beaten path, tucked in the village, close to the small restaurants and shops, yet within walking or a short ride to the incredible Patara Beach and the ancient ruins. Since it's located quite away from the airports, it's easier to get there by car. However, I was able to make it from Dalaman airport by bus with 1 connection in Fethiye. If you’re looking for a place that combines authenticity, friendliness, and comfort without unnecessary luxury, Dardanos Mini Hotel is a wonderful choice. With Arif’s genuine hospitality, it’s not just a stay—it feels like being welcomed into a family. I sincerely wish Arif and his lovely hotel continued prosperity and many happy guests in the years to come!

Everything was worth it. The manager super helpful. The location is strategic.

Nothing! the construction works near the hotel did not bother us. just be aware the muezzin can wake you up at 5 am, like anywhere else in Turkey :)

Arif and his team made this short stay a perfect and warm one. The hotel has an amazing quality for value score. The rooms are big, quiet and well designed. the pool is a great plus, with beautiful lemon and orange trees around. Breakfast in the garden is generous, fresh in a Mediterranean healthy style. Located in the middle of the very small Patara village. Patara beach and site are 5 min driving.

Having to say goodbye.

Fabulous location in the village centre. Lovely swimming pool. A welcoming outdoor bar is the centrepiece of the hotel and everyone gravitates there. Arif is an exceptional host - there are none better.

Nothing really, patara as a place is quite chilled out and not that busy, so if you're looking for a bit more action I probably wouldn't recommend staying. The hotel was amazing though!

Lovely friendly staff and a nice, quiet atmosphere to the hotel and patara.

Hotel conveniently located right at the entrance (fee) to Patara beach and its ruins. It has a leafy garden, where breakfast is served, which was quite good. The room was large, comfortable, with good air conditioning and a good bath Due to the 40º heat wave, we spent a lot of time in the pleasant pool, enjoying its coolness and tranquility. We had a very good stay at this hotel.

The pool was a lifesaver in the heat. The breakfasts were delicious and they serve a great Margarita cocktail!

What a lovely little ‘Pension’ hotel. Utterly charming, extremely clean and warm, friendly, helpful staff. Arif, the owner was so kind.

This was our favorite hotel during our visit to Turkey. The manager and entire staff were friendly and very helpful. The room was comfortable, and the breakfast was excellent. And the pool and pool area were better than most other hotels at a similar price.

Hard to sleep without air conditioning (Turkey's hot, not their fault!)

Breakfast was amazing! Room clean everyday. Pool area very nice! The owner was incredibly kind, always willing to help! Staff was great! Lightning was very good!

Could have done with bedside lamps. But this is a two-star hotel. The service level made all the difference.

Staff and owner, Arif were exceptional in making our stay comfortable and relaxing. I've never come across such a level of dedication and service. It really made a difference. Well done Arif.

I always like a kettle in the room to make a cuppa but this was hardly a big deal … not difficult to get a decent cup of tea in Turkey!!

The hotel was really lovely - good size, clean rooms with little balconies to sit out on and drying lines and pegs. Decent bathrooms with hot water, large towels and toiletries - spotlessly clean. Comfy beds. The swimming pool is proper swimming size and the lounging area is secluded. The bar area is delightful and the buffet breakfast delicious with lots of variety. The hotel has more of a ‘boutique’ vibe than the pictures suggest. The best thing though is the manager and team. They all care so much and nothing is too much trouble. I hurt my ankle walking the Lycian Way so they arranged a car to pick us up, moved our rooms to bottom floor, sorted an ice pack etc. We were comfy in the bar one night (in our fave spot), so a local restaurant brought us food over. Proper customer service - not OTT or too present - we just felt safe and looked after. Highly recommend. ( the local village and local cafes/restaurants all super lovely too)

Lovely stay in a small family run hotel. Exceptionally friendly and accommodating staff, rooms were comfortable and spotless, the pool was a real bonus. Lots of places to eat locally and good recommendations from the hotel.

We spent 8 wonderful nights at the Dardanos Hotel and had an excellent experience throughout our stay. Arif was a great host, always eager to offer suggestions on activities and local spots to visit or to assist when needed. The pool area was top-notch, providing a relaxing atmosphere, and the rooms were both spacious and immaculate. Breakfast was delicious, and the overall ambiance of the hotel was welcoming and comfortable.

Perfect location, clean rooms, awesome breakfast and really friendly staff/family owners. Cocktails in the bar were the best!

We stayed at the Dardanos Hotel for x3 nights and couldn’t fault the hotel. Arif was such an accommodating host, happy to spend time to recommend things to do or places to go, and went out of his way to help you organise things. Swimming pool area was great, rooms were a decent size and clean, and breakfast was great.

Fantastic family-run, small hotel. Good location just off the main square near all the restaurants in the village. Garden is very nice to relax in and have a drink, pool is good to relax by. Rooms are clean and modern. Owner and family could not be more helpful and charming. Lots to do nearby - Patara beach and ruins are wonderful.
