Для бюджетного отеля много плюсов. Удастся ли отдых в этом отеле - вопрос цены и настроения There are many advantages for a budget hotel. Will you be able to stay in this hotel - a question of price and mood

I'll tell you about everything in order. Lots of letters, but lots of useful information.
1) Transfer. It takes approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes to drive from Alanya Airport. At the airport, right at the exit, there is a Starbucks where you can fill up with cold coffee.
2) Settlement. They check in strictly at 14.00, we didn’t ask about check-in before - the budget was limited. Lunch ends at 2:00 pm, so expect to eat outside the hotel. You can change clothes in the toilet, in the lobby. Leave your luggage at the reception desk. When we were there, a girl Svetlana worked at the reception, who speaks Russian, Turkish and English.

3) Number. Tired. The furniture is old, somewhere on the little things something does not work well. We had a leaking faucet, periodically buggy toilet. The air conditioner worked, there was no refrigerator. Cleanliness - Turkish-Egyptian, not clean, but washed. Terrible carpet in rooms. From the stains on the carpet, you can trace the entire history of the hotel. The safe is paid, but no one complained about theft. The beds are comfortable, the mattresses are good, the bedding is clean, but there may be stains or holes that cannot be removed. In general - you can live. Take slippers to walk around the room and take a shower. 1 towel on the face. From hygiene - only soap and toilet paper. Cleaning every 3 days, it's better to remind the reception that it's time to clean.
There is Wi-Fi in the lobby, it catches normally, if there are not many people. In the room, the Internet is paid - I don’t know for sure, we had enough free. ATTENTION! The hotel is at a crossroads and the soundproofing sucks. At 6 am, cars start to drive, it feels like right on the bedside table. In general, the impression is normal. If you are ready to score on trifles for the sake of economy, like a dripping tap, it will be normal.
4) Nutrition. Feed 3 times a day. Alcohol - dry wine and beer. Sometimes raki, but we didn't drink it. The beer runs out quickly. It is better to take alcohol with you. Drinks: UPI, Pepsi / Mirinda / 7ap, tea (fu), coffee from the machine (norms). During the coronavirus period, the cook lays food. They put a little, but they react calmly to the word "still". From meat - sausages for breakfast (not very tasty), for lunch - nuggets or semi-finished cutlets, for dinner - chicken. Lots of vegetables. Delicious steamed vegetables and beans. Fresh vegetables and salads are plentiful. Seasonal fruits, in early October were apples, tangerines and grapes. There are few sweets, they are specific. Soups for an amateur - they are seasoned with flour. Bread is a delight. In general, you will not be hungry, but you will not get pleasure from food either.
5) Beach. Across the road from the hotel, literally 50 meters. Their sun loungers and umbrellas, free of charge, but they are not enough. Especially the umbrellas. Yupi and water are poured on the beach. There is a "shower" - just a hose with a nozzle from the wall to wash. The coast is dirty. The entrance to the sea is stones, take corals with you, if you have them - it's very expensive to buy - about $ 10 per pair. You can replace with locally produced crocs - about $ 4. The sea is pure delight. The water is clear, very warm and gentle, the water itself holds. In early October the water was 24-29 degrees. Nearby, a mountain river flows into the sea, the water temperature fluctuates greatly. I recommend a snorkel. Lots of fish, crabs, sea urchins, shellfish. Sometimes you can see a stingray. You can swim at night if you are not afraid of stones and swim well. We swam - awesome, the water is warmer than the air. BEACH TOWELS DO NOT GIVE!! ! Take it with you or buy locally. I don't know the price. In general, everything is fine.

6) Location. It is located at the crossroads of two main roads. Excellent transport interchange. Bus number 1 runs along the embankment through the whole city (center, market, Cleopatra beach, Damlatash cave) until 23.00. On the street where the exit from the hotel there is a bus 2B. The route is approximately the same as that of 1, but along a parallel street, also until 23.00. The fare is 4.5 lire. They take cash, in lira. Install google maps, there you can see where you are going without the Internet on gps - very convenient. There is also bus number 10 to the Dimchay River. It rarely runs, about once an hour. Stop near the exit of the hotel, behind the taxi rank. Also, by the way, it is convenient - a taxi is right next to the entrance to the hotel. Taxis are generally not cheap. Tell the taxi driver to turn on the taximeter. Price, approximately, 1 km = 1.5$.
Don't be afraid of buses. They are very comfortable and cheap. But if you want to visit all the sights, I advise you to take a tour if you find dollars for 10-15. You wave the buses, and the taxi will be more expensive. There are 2 supermarkets nearby: Migros and Shock. The prices are fixed. Shock is lower and there are sweets. Writing is love forever. In Migros, you can pay in dollars and give change in lira at a chic rate. Also, in all markets you can pay by card at the rates of your bank. Privatbank - no commission, the rate can be found via chat in privat24. Very profitable and convenient. The hotel pool is small and has a slide. The pool is surprisingly very clean. I would say the cleanest thing in the hotel.
7) Conclusions. THE HOTEL IS lousy, BUT IF IT'S CHEAP - YOU SHOULD TAKE IT. The tour cost us $340, for two, for 7 nights. They spent about $100 on walks, sweets and souvenirs. We did not go on excursions, but we talked with other guests. Excursions $20-50. Do not take the guide - 2 times more expensive for the same. You can take it on the street calmly, the insurance is valid, they won’t take you to the forest))
If the budget is limited - a great option. The main thing is to go with the understanding that this is a cheap troika and there will be a hollow pipets) And tune in to the fact that you are going beyond the sea and the sun. If a ticket is more expensive than $ 500 for two - I do not recommend taking it, you will be dissatisfied. Very cool owners of the hotel, husband and wife. When I felt bad at night, they helped me to call the insurance company, and throughout our rest they were very worried about me and constantly asked if everything was fine. We had a great rest, because we were preparing for the worst, but we got more than we paid. I recommend trying the local ice cream - dondurma (7 lira for 3 balls - a good price) and the sweet pishmaniye (5-6 lira in the market). Have a good rest, warm sea and bright sun!
