With very few exceptions, Pamukkale
hotels are of three types:
— Small backpacker pensions
in Pamukkale Town
— More modern small, basic backpacker
hotels in Pamukkale Town
— Big resort
hotels in Karahayit
Because fewer backpackers are coming
to Turkey nowadays, the pensions and
hotels in Pamukkale Town receive fewer
visitors, making it difficult for them
to keep their standards high.
Same goes for the Karahayit resort
hotels. Built in the hopes that thousands
of guests would come to spend a week
"taking the cure" in their hot mineral
waters, they find themselves instead
hosting one-night stays by
bus tour groups on their way between Aegean
Turkey and points to the east. Far
too many large hotels were built, so
they compete vigorously for guests.
Hotel rates, therefore,
are usually
very low. Many four-
and five-star hotels charge as little
as YTL35
per person for room, buffet breakfast
and buffet dinner. (Drinks are not
included, however, and can be quite
expensive.)
As for swimming,
all hotels, and most inns and pensions
have swimming pools filled
with the same warm waters in which
you can let the calcium make your
skin feel silky.
