Stayed here one night with my family as part of a Gate 1 Travel guided bus tour of Turkey. Overall the hotel was very nice. The rooms themselves were fine. The bathroom was VERY small. The door to our bathroom would actually hit the toilet when you opened it! The bathtub also backed up. There was also a sticker warning... more

I stayed at the hotel as part of a Gate1 package. A lot of the reviews are correct. The hotel is very crowded with tour groups, and the restaurant buffets were very crowded. The food was okay in the restaurant. There is a thermal pool, ut it was very crowded. I opted for the jacuzzi instead, and it was enjoyable.... more

Stayed 2 nights with the group tour in November 2006 during our trip across Turkey. Hotel complex is in the middle of nothing. To my great surprise (I thought November was not a tourist season), hotel was overcrowded with visitors from different countries mostly Germans. So, come for your buffet dinner or breakfast on time and be prepared to stay... more

My friends and I stayed at this hotel for a wedding. The Pamukkale area was lovely but the hotel was disappointing given the price we were paying. First, we had quite a bit of trouble making reservations. It was conveyed to us that there was no room available but as we discovered later, empty rooms were plentiful. The staff was... more

We needed 1 night within reasonable distance of the sites of Pamukkale, Heiropolis and Laodocea. We found Allstar Lycus River Hotel on the Internet and booked it through Venere.com. It looked good and the rates were reasonable. It was a long hot drive from the south coast of Turkey to Pamukkale, so we were desperately eager to get into a... more

We stayed at Lycus River one night only in our way from the Aegen Coast to Cappadocia. We arrived early afternoon and we tried to have lunch there, but we could have only a sandwich and the waiter didn't seem to be happy with our presence. At least we enjoyed the thermal pool and the jacuzzi as the group tours... more

The food was extremely mediocre. The "banquet hall" was a nightmare, extremely filled with people bumping into one another trying to serve themselves from the buffet tables. Mass production tourism. Too bad we were caught in it. Not a 4 star hotel. The only decent thing was the thermal pool and jaccuzzi. There was even a very annoying photographer trying... more

Our lodging for the night was the Lycus River Hotel rated by someone, probably blind and deaf from birth, as “four star”; I think it should be rated as “for shame.” Dinner was shockingly bad and miserly. Starters (meze ) in Turkey are normally fresh, varied and delicious. Here they were simply bitter. The main courses were over-grilled minced lamb... more
