Stayed here with my partner and 18 month old child, first of all we didn’t pay for a 5 star hotel so we wasn’t expecting it. On arrival at 2am the receptionist was out helping us carry our luggage , quick check in and got room 903 (top floor with front and rear balconies). The room was a little dated but sufficient for a holiday , had 2 aircon units , a safe (-€2 a day) fridge , table/chairs , sofa, old TV, so all in all the room was fine. The food/drink—-food was hit and miss, 1 day they had the chicken kebabs being cooked in front of you , other days the food was that bad the cats would say no to it. Your in a 3 star hotel in turkey , don’t expect English breakfasts. There drinks weren’t that good either, the beer was drinkable but there vodka would strip the paint off the walls it was horrible. Amenities - the pool area is really good , lots of loungers available, nice pool , pool bar open (not snack bar) serving cola, lemonade, beer and vodka , anything else is payable. There is a Turkish baths in the basement , prices start at €15, the inside pool was really good seeing we had a Young child with us and some days was to hot outside. There is a gym but it always had a closed sign up. The location is great, just a few streets away from the hustle and bustle of bars and restaurants , although there is a mosque directly at the back of the hotel that plays out very loud prayers numerous times a day starting at 6am. The staff were fantastic with the exception of 1 waitress in the restaurant who came across very rude, but otherwise all was friendly , Abdullah or apple as he liked to be called was a credit to the hotel , always polite and helpful. Would I return ? Yes probably , yes there’s lots of Russians and Ukrainians and sometimes this stands out like your the only English there, but this didn’t matter at all. Don’t let the negative reviews put you off , give it a go for he money you can’t go wrong.
