In-Depth Review
Rooms and decor
The location does more work than the star rating here, and Caligo Apart Hotel is a clear case of that. The rooms are apartment-style with a small kitchen and basic equipment — handy for a family or couple who want to cook a few meals instead of eating out every time. Pick up fresh produce at the Alanya market in town and you can put together your own dinner without leaving.
The honest part: the building is old and due for a refresh. Some reviews call the rooms dated, the furniture isn't new, and a few rooms in Building 3 catch noise from the electrical equipment room down in the basement. Cleanliness also runs a little inconsistent room to room. If you book, ask for a room in another building up front.
Food and amenities
There's an outdoor pool that's a decent size, plus billiards and ping-pong to fill the daytime. The staff get the most praise of anything here — reviewers keep coming back to how attentive and friendly they are, and the whole place feels more personal than a big chain.
There's no restaurant on site, but that's no real problem: restaurants and a market are all within walking distance, and the in-room kitchen gives you full flexibility on meals.
Location and getting there
This is the selling point no other hotel matches at this price. The Cable Car up to Alanya Castle is 30 meters away, Kleopatra Beach is 20 meters, Damlatas Cave by the beach is walkable, and the restaurants, market and shopping district are all close.
Ride the Cable Car up in the late afternoon before sunset — the Mediterranean view from the top is the highlight — then come back down for a walk along the beach before bed. That's the Alanya day this place puts right at your feet.
Things to know before booking
Set your expectations on the building, not the spot. The facilities are dated and could use updating, some rooms in Building 3 pick up noise from the basement equipment room, and a few reviews flag uneven cleanliness. None of it is a dealbreaker if you ask for the right room — but go in knowing the rooms aren't new.
Our take
Caligo Apart Hotel is the best pick for backpackers and budget travelers who want a top location in Alanya without the price. It's close to both the beach and the Cable Car, it's cheap, and the kitchen lets you cook for yourself.
Make peace with the dated facilities, ask for a room in a quieter building, and what's left is a gold-tier location at a rate the chain hotels in Alanya simply can't match.
