Depends on the hotel, where I stay in apartments I don't tip as it's the bar staff who take us and I tip each day when paying my bill, if it's a
hotel with porters 5 Lira or give them a pound coin which they will change with uk visitors when they have a few, I did this a few years ago in a bar, a waiter asked if I would give him lira for 10 £1 coins, I did but only at the current exchange rate.
