Waxwing Hotel

Although the city was decimated by two earthquakes within nine hours of each other, 2 1/2 years ago, the hotel was clean, with comfortable beds, excellent showers, air conditioning that worked, and a friendly helpful staff. The typical Turkish breakfast had about 40 items, very healthy and delicious. The town is rebuilding and this hotel was great.

Excellent hotel in the center of Antakya. The rooms are clean, the staff is polite, the breakfasts are great. I have been staying at this hotel every year for 8 years, the quality is always excellent. I will come again.

Hotel management control Air conditioning, room was hot . You could not even sleep at night . During the day temperature was 30 degree Celsius. It means almost 100F. If you open the window you cannot sleep because of the construction activity around the hotel . Hotel over charged with price I paid, that’s unfair.

There had been an earthquake in 2023 and the area around the hotel had been destroyed. Many historical sites destroyed too so we left after two days. Who ever built the hotel and the Hotel Museum built them to sustain earthquakes.

I marked the area as excellent not to do any injustice to the hotel. Antakya is demolished after the 2023 earthquake and the surrounding area is also damaged heavily. However the hotel offers excellent service and amenities under these harsh conditions.
