Первая Турция First Turkey

I read the reviews of members of the forum about the rest in city hotels and I myself caught fire to stay in a small city hotel, closer, so to speak, to the people. Yes, and the budget allowed counting on hotels no higher than 3 *, and in Kaleici, which I fell in love with in absentia, there are no others. One of the inconspicuous entrances to Kaleici:

For some reason, they stopped at Agros, probably based on its location. As it turned out, they did not fail with the location - the hotel is located in a quiet side street, within close access to transport and ant trails for tourists. Literally on the next street, life is seething: cafes are stacked on top of each other, and shops, shops, and rental offices, people are spreading far after midnight. Behind Agros is the DeJaVu hotel, but the lights were rarely on there, probably there were few people. Hotel Dejavu:


We bought vouchers for 12 nights, because we planned to take a car and go to Cirali-Kash for 3-4 days, but this will be a separate story.
According to reviews, the rooms in the hotel are small, so we initially ordered the Deluxe - they are a couple of squares more spacious, but also more expensive than just a couple of sput. A small digression is needed here. On the basis of love for fishing, I met on the site of fishermen with a compatriot who, by the will of fate, lives in Antalya. A parcel was collected for him and he offered to meet us at the hotel upon arrival. Although he was late, his presence turned out to be invaluable for us in the future - we were first put into a kennel in the basement (matchmakers - in a normal room No. 013 Deluxe for the reception). At this time, Dmitry came up, I asked him to talk about the room - the moment, and we were moved to room 014 behind the reception. The room turned out to be simply gorgeous - the only one in the hotel with a "loggia" - a roof over a kennel from the basement floor. The matchmaker's room was a little larger than ours, but for some reason the matchmaker did not want to change numbers to the "loggia" through the window, although the matchmaker smokes. Loggia:
The furniture is updated, the bed is not creaky, the plumbing is so-so, it regularly leaked from under the bath, the guy constantly laid a towel. It's good that the smell was normal. The food is so-so: for breakfast, fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, greens, boiled eggs (it’s a pity, mayonnaise was accidentally found in the store at the end of the vacation, I had to pour yogurt for lubrication, sprinkle with spices), a couple of types of rolls, a couple of types of pastries, there was a lot of jam, chocolate paste and honey. For dinner: something that was not eaten in 5-star hotels with their own cuisine: rice, however, was always tasty, chicken was ordinary, but grilled sticks made from hell were very dubious in taste, although the cats ate them.
By negligence, we drank half-liter bottles of water and juice from the minibar several times, a few days later we guessed to ask for the bill - 49 lira! Their water is golden - 2 lira each, and a snuffed bag of juice is more expensive than a glass of the freshest fresh juice. And yet, the hotel is a real tension with toilet paper. We originally had 2 rolls in our room, which we did not have enough for three days before the end of the 12-day period. After the incident with the minibar, they were afraid to ask for paper, they managed with paper towels bought earlier.

The contingent - mostly foreigners staying for a few days, at the same time with us lived 2 - 3 Russian families, the nicest people. The staff seems to be able to speak English, as it turned out, knows a little Russian, but only after a tip. After the tip:
On the second day, in order to improve personal and international relations, in the evening, in order not to burn in front of the authorities, they presented the staff with a matchmaker with a bottle of Stolichnaya. They immediately began to fuss: they unscrewed the lid, ran for the glasses, we did not even look at what they would eat, went for a walk. In the morning, with the matchmaker, we went to Konyalti to visit a friend for fishing. The wives later said: “They weren’t there at all in the morning, the girl was alone there - generally like a moth, one sleeve was not buttoned, she was then released, apparently. ” Can 3 people have a severe hangover from one bottle? It is hardly possible, they caught up later for sure.
The main advantage of the hotel is its location and relative cheapness. You can, without any regret, leave it for a few days, rent a car and travel for your own pleasure. But I looked at the prices for autumn - something is too high, for such a price the attractiveness of the hotel is lost.
