Spa Hotel Colossae Thermal

Location is excellent as this is my 4th stay here. Staff are superb. Best staff at any hotel i have ever visited. They are very warm and friendly, helpful and thouroughly professional. It is easy to visit so many ancient sites from here too.

We've stayed at all the big thermal hotels in Karahayıt, and the Colossa comapres very favourably. The big positives are the food (excellent choice, excellent quality), the staff (helpful and friendly), the room comfort and size (although not all rooms are equal, and we did notice some smaller ones as we walked by). The indoor swimming pool smelled so much of chlorine we never went in - but the shared indoor.outdoor thermal pool was very pleasant and the main reason for coming. The thermal area, however, is a bit small for such a huge hotel and the pools seem almost like an afterthought rather than taking centre-stage (this is, after all a 'thermal' hotel). Fortunately, we were there mid-week February when the hotel was very quiet, and so we weren't bothered by any crowds. The only real complaint we had was that for a supposedly non-smoking hotel, the smell of cigarettes was present (eg. when we walked into our room), and an ashtray was even provided in our room! It's all very well having a non-smoking policy for the hotel, but this has to be enforced to make it meaningful.

value for money and lots of in-house activity

I have stayed here before some years ago and wanted to return staying longer. This time we did staying 10 nights. Great location, wonderful pools, great variety of food, fair prices on drinks and wonderful staff. Seeing 2 tortoises playing in the garden outside our room was just wonderful. We will be going back soon i hope.
