Palermo - недорогой отель, мне понравился Palermo is an inexpensive hotel, I liked it

I went to rest in foreign countries for the first time, alone. , on the advice of friends and was very worried.
I'm in my 30s and I need to start somewhere. I went on a hot trip by plane Rostov-Sharm El Sheikh for 370 bucks for 11 days from March 22.2007 - April 1.2007 through Anex tour. The first thing that struck the hotel was the abundance of Arabs and the almost complete absence of Europeans. As it turned out, now is some kind of holiday, so there are a lot of Arabs, the rooms are all occupied, and the Russians are all on the beach. At the reception they speak only "angelic" language. I even liked it. I studied English at school, now I force my son and finally found a use for English.


The room on the first day was given a bad one, a shower without a bath, it stinks from the refrigerator, the socket does not work well, the door with the lock barely breathes. The next day, when the Arabs parted, the number was changed to quite decent. Huge clean room, 2 beds, 2 chairs, shower, bath, toilet, air conditioning, TV (the Russian channel was not on). Furniture and cabinets are old.
The safe I was told at the reception is free of charge, though there is a huge fine for losing the key. The guide, however, said that they would not be fined, but I tried very hard not to lose the key to the safe. I did not want to leave documents and other things in the room, although there were no cases of theft. Provided beach towels.

Canteen at the hotel. In the morning they are fed from 7 to 10. For breakfast, orange juice, tea, coffee, scrambled eggs, cottage cheese (watered with jam), inedible sausage, stewed sausages with butter, onions and seasoning (I liked it), rice, pasta or potatoes with butter and seasonings ( greasy), beans, eggplants, salads: cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, oranges, dates, etc. , a lot of buns of all kinds, no bread, pancakes are not bad, lemons. For dinner - drinks for a fee (I immediately bought a 6 liter bottle at a nearby market), I didn’t forget to take a boiler from home, tasty meat with gravy, overcooked fish, sometimes chicken, salads, rice, potatoes, beans, buns, occasionally cakes and pastries.
People also took soup, but I didn’t like it.

Swimming pool on site. 2 meters deep. The water is clean, constantly updated, but cold. The area was constantly cleaned, everything is clean and comfortable. The area itself is small. Not far from the hotel there is an old market, a bank, a cheap supermarket "METRO" and an entertainment complex 1001 nights. Everywhere can be reached on foot. They took the bus to the beach for free. at 9.11, 12:45. They were taken away at 13.15, 16 hours. True, soon they showed me the way on foot and I walked with pleasure (about 20 minutes), along the way I could see or buy something near the “1001 Nights”.

Pantone on the beach is bad, underwater. Often there was a wind and the sea was stormy. During a storm, the step was washed away, the piece of iron remained. A certain dexterity and skill was needed in order to "park" to the pantone. Some showed bruises and abrasions.


Those who wished were taken to the New Town "Naomo Bay" every evening by bus.
Guide Anex tour rarely seen.
I liked it better from Tez tour, very sociable, was 2 times a day at the hotel, everyone, both their own and others, ran to him with questions. The boys at the reception are humorous, very sociable, they like to play jokes. When I was bored, I came to chat, they talked about their families, about customs, they constantly joked. There were no hassles. A young guy named Honey reminded me of a 14 year old teenager who constantly thinks of only one thing. I had no desire to be angry with this child, but once, when I was tired of laughing off, I sharply told him that he was a frivolous, irresponsible person and I did not like his behavior. After that, he calmed down and tried to create the opposite impression.

In general, I and many people enjoyed my stay there very much. A whole bunch of impressions. Everything was interesting. Those who rested before in other, better hotels, complained about the service. In my opinion, everything was quite tolerable. The staff is good.
When I left, I was evicted from my room at 12, and my bus at 6 pm. I have strawberries in the fridge. I asked the cook to hold it in the refrigerator until I was at the dining room, preferably free. She explained for 10 minutes, because he did not understand English well. He agreed. When I was returning, the “suitcase porter” rushed in, the only person unpleasant to me in the hotel, he began to say that I had to pay for this. The cook said with a smile that he would not take any money from me. We parted warmly and kindly. In Russia now all people seem so cold-hearted. Everyone is serious, no one will smile, no one will wave his hand with an exclamation of "hello".
