Hello! Recently returned from the Sole Hotel in Turkey. We rested in this hotel from 22.07. 2012 to 02.08. 2012. We couldn't imagine a worse holiday. We understand the amount for a stay in a hotel is not large, but, nevertheless, money does not fall from the sky and for that kind of money I would like to get a NORMAL, if not very good, rest. We were checked into our room half an hour after we arrived. Given the fact that the plane was delayed and we were late for lunch, we had to stay hungry and wait for dinner. Okay, we are adults, but with us came families who had small children and they were also denied food. First impression: our room was located on the 6th floor and therefore we had to take the elevator. The elevator in the hotel was broken and we were offered to use the service one. We were horrified. This is not an elevator, but a garbage pipe - a terrible stench, dirt. When we went up to the room, we noticed that there was no TV and telephone, the air conditioner did not work,
and bathroom accessories and towels were out of the question. When we were indignant about the air conditioner, they brought it to us and after that it began to work with a terrible noise, while maintaining only 15 degrees in the room, as a result of which we were guaranteed a runny nose. During the period of our vacation, the air conditioner worked with varying degrees of success - it constantly broke down, but there was no one to fix it, so we had to start the air conditioner ourselves again. The room is damp because there is no ventilation. The shower stall was leaking and as a result there was always a puddle of water on the floor. Since we have never had a cleaning done in 10 days, we also dealt with this problem ourselves. Towels were given to us only on the 3rd day, and then we asked to do it every day. When we began to demand, already in a raised tone, that they clean up our room, then at the reception they said in a rude manner that they should not raise their voice at them. And they only say this to girls,
and men are weak? Probably afraid to get in the face. The bar also made an indelible impression on us. Of the drinks, only soda, Turkish vodka, wine, in comparison with which our port is just delicious, beer. In the dining room, whose permanent inhabitants are flies, every time a real massacre for food begins. If you came at the wrong time, then get ready for the fact that you may not have enough food or plates. During breakfast, lunch and dinner, there are often interruptions in tea and coffee, so you often have to limit yourself to some water. Cooking, to put it mildly, is not tasty, and if you have a child with you, then you will have to demonstrate miracles of ingenuity in order to somehow feed him. When you eat at this moment, hotel employees walk between the rows with some kind of cart where they put all the waste and this is rather unpleasant. Sometimes in salads you can find meat - a fly, a worm. On the 7th day of our holiday, we noticed

that the water in the pool is not just dirty, but black. It turns out that they do not change the water in the pool, but simply add all sorts of reagents such as bleach, etc. , so sometimes swimming in it is unsafe. The beach also wants to leave the best - a very unsuccessful descent, the umbrellas are torn, there are not always enough sun loungers, there are no mattresses. The bar is not open on schedule. Sometimes you have to stay there for 2 hours without drinks, despite the fact that there are children on the beach. We had to find a way out of this ourselves - to bring drinks with us. Hotel guide Ilyas, if you can call him that, did not solve a single issue. There was only one answer - well, that there is no TV, some do not have air conditioners at all, so rejoice. Or so - in this hotel it's normal. They are all stupid here. Then it is generally not clear why he is needed there, only for that. To sell more tour packages and make out with the girls by the pool?
P. S.
If you don't want to ruin your vacation and don't want to waste your nerves, refrain from going to this hotel. When we went there, we also thought that some picky people were dissatisfied, did not believe many reviews and realized that it was in vain. When they write in the comments that you shouldn’t expect anything else for that kind of money, and if you want to have a normal rest, buy more expensive tours, then apparently they didn’t ask how much other people paid for a vacation in this hotel. Some were ashamed in front of their children that, having promised them the sea and paying 70.000 for vouchers, and some had 100.000 in such a terrible hotel.
