BE Bold Hostel

First of all, if you are considering staying here and checking the reviews, keep in mind that they offer a 10% discount in exchange for a high-rated review, so decide for yourself about its objectivity. **If you don't want to be shouted at and insulted by a housekeeping staff member early in the morning, don't stay here!** I checked into the hotel on August 15th. I would like to thank the reservation and reception staff who handled my check-in process; they made everything easy for me, and the person who helped me during check-out was also quite friendly. However, on the morning of August 16th, I was awakened by loud music. The housekeeping staff had turned the music up to full volume on her phone, placed it in front of my door, and was cleaning a room at the end of the corridor. My friend had arrived at the hotel at 4 AM, and we wanted to rest. When I warned her, she began shouting at me rudely, saying things like, "You can't tell me what music to listen to, who do you think you are, I don't have to ask you what to do, it's too late to be sleeping." She aggressively scolded me in front of my friend. Even after I closed the door and went back to my room, she continued to insult and shout at me. I have stayed in and worked at many hotels, and I am still working in this industry, so I know the procedures very well. This behavior is completely unacceptable. I did not pay for a staff member to shout at and scold me in the morning. I went to the reception to speak with a manager, but there was none. Only the receptionist listened to me, but nothing was done. No one apologized for this gross disrespect or followed up with me. I will never stay here again, and I will not recommend this place to anyone. It was the worst accommodation experience I've ever had. Additionally, when I entered the room, the floor was so dirty that I had to go out and buy a cloth to clean it myself, and there were no slippers in the room. I booked a private room, but there was a stranger sitting on my balcony. A disgrace.

This hostel surprised me. Perfect location, awesome staff, social events and lovely kitchen. There was a lot of love put into this place. Beds are comfortable enough and there is an AC, which was my highlight of the room. The vibe is positive and vibrant. People are happy to answer whatever question ansked about Antalya is; history, restaurants, barbers. The events and the socials are special and very fun. I enjoyed it here. I made many special friends and kankas. I’ll be back for sure in the future.

Good points: Close to city centre, arrange some activities (although participation is low). Bad points: Lots of long term digital nomads who use the kitchen area as their personal workspace & don't participate in activities or engage with other travellers so there is not a hostel type atmosphere.
