Hi all! I went to this, so to speak, hotel from May 14 to May 22.2023. The background is that I was traveling only with a child without a wife, and for some unknown reason, several 4-5 star hotels refused to book because I was supposedly going without the second half and even the indication that I was traveling with a child did not help change their decision. As a result, the manager at the travel agency tried to book 3 stars and voila, the reservation was approved, the only problem was that no one warned me about this, roughly speaking, they put me in front of the fact that the reservation was made and I had to go there. And everything would be fine, we are not proud people, we are ready to go to 3 stars, but the price of these 3 stars was only 15-20 thousand cheaper than 4-5 star hotels with a total price of a tour of about 100 thousand rubles for 9 days, it was not such a significant amount and I would rather pay extra for 4-5 stars, or go to 3 stars, but still much cheaper. But there is nothing to do, we go to 3 stars King As.
I didn't read the reviews specifically to evaluate everything objectively on the spot.


ARRIVAL

We arrived at the hotel at about 2:00 pm just before the end of lunch time. Transfer from Antalya dropped off 90% of tourists at hotels in the center of Alanya in the tourist area, and we were dropped off roughly at the exit from the city right on the side of the 6-8 lane D400 highway. It already looked somehow suspicious, but still hope did not die) At the reception they immediately said they say go eat first, and then we will arrange everything, it was very handy, because our Azur Air does not even give buns in flight, and we ate for a long time. They immediately asked where to wash their hands, pointed to the toilet, and by the smell in the toilet and its extremely depressing state, doubts about the correct choice of the hotel began to intensify. Since we arrived at the end of lunch, there was almost no food left and put what we had, and everything was almost cold, but oh well, thanks for that! Settled in room 212.

NUMBER
The elevator did not work and the 2nd floor was very handy, just like 5 or 6 floors, you won't have to run up the stairs. The room is of course tired, but it’s quite drawn to 3, it even seemed that if you replace the cracked mirror, wipe the mold from the tiles in the bathroom, replace the furniture from the dead chipboard and change the TV set from 1996 to a modern flat one, then you can draw 4 stars. It turned out that the TV was not even connected to the antenna and was just standing there like a decoration. Well, this is also a plus, you can take a break from propaganda and enjoy your vacation : ) There was only a table with an ashtray on the balcony, but there were no chairs, you had to use a dead ottoman to while away the long Turkish evenings sitting on the balcony)) Since the windows overlook the state highway D400 on which trucks, trucks, motorcycles and other turbo cars with Russian numbers are worn in 8 lanes, then you can appreciate what an unforgettable noise there is, comparable only to the runway.

And add to this that there is also a crossroads, and the Turks love to buzz with or without reason, and also that ambulances with flashing lights often go there and push everyone away at the traffic lights, it’s simply unforgettable. But we walked a lot and passed out quickly and the noise did not bother us.

CLEANING

We moved into a more or less clean room. During the day, of course, we slightly soiled the floor, sand was applied to the beach. The next day the floor sparkled as much as it can sparkle in a 3 star shop, the trash can in the toilet was also empty, it all added points to the hotel. But for the rest of the days, no one else washed anything, and at the end of the rest, the condition of the floor was depressing. Apparently they were hoping for a tip, the first wash is something like a demo version, they say, a demonstration of how it can be if you leave a little lyre : ) Well, we are not rich people, so we didn’t leave, and had a dirty floor. Bed linen was also never changed.
Fortunately, at least the towels were changed for 4-5 days, though for this I had to throw them in bulk in one place, so to speak, to hint thickly. The only thing that was done every day was emptying the trash can, well, at least thanks for that.

NUTRITION

The food is perhaps one of the biggest cons of this hotel. I have something to compare with, I went 2 years ago to Myra Hotel in Marmaris, also 3 stars, so then it was a covid time, food was distributed by hotel employees and still subjectively there was much more choice, much more meat and in general it was an order of magnitude tastier, that is, it is some kind of unequal 3 stars, either 2 stars here or 4 in Marmaris. The food is not tasty. You will almost never see meat, and if you do, it will either be some kind of offal such as chicken stomachs, or cheap soy semi-finished products from the nearest Migros, or just sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ sausage, it will haunt you both in the morning and in the afternoon.

That from the hot that was not eaten for lunch is put in salads for dinner. It pissed me off that you can’t put hot food on your own, but the hotel worker puts it on you, and puts it on, as if it’s a portion in the factory canteen, God forbid, put extra grams, and still doesn’t understand a word in Russian, you have to poke your fingers. Salads are the same type of our tomatoes and cucumbers, or just lettuce, parsley, dill, chopped pickles, chopped fresh tomatoes and cucumbers, olives, olives, peppers, and, as I said, all sorts of uneaten things from lunch or dinner. Of the fruits, only chopped apples, at the end of the rest they began to cut oranges, no watermelons and melons. There are only 2 desserts, these are either oatmeal cookies soaked in syrup or some kind of not very tasty jelly. Juices are all chemical. I don’t drink alcohol, so I can’t say anything, but apparently it’s also some kind of surrogate. There is a vending machine with coffee and cocoa, and thanks for that.
Pepsi and other sodas must be asked at the bar. As a result, we have small and not tasty portions of hot, the same type of salads. In general, you definitely won’t leave fat. And by the way, plates and spoons with forks are often with sticky food or greasy spots. And instead of disposable cups for water and juice, there are plastic cups like for Carl beer! Imagine how unhygienic it is, you always had to wash it.

BEACH

You have to get to the beach through several roads, but in fairness it is quite close literally 5 minutes walk. There are underground passages under the D400 highway and you can immediately go to the beach of the hotel through them. Almost all the sunbeds are dead and there are so few of them and umbrellas that if you come a little later, you will have to fry on a towel lying on the sand under the scorching Turkish sun.

GUESTS
While I was there, I did not see a single foreigner, there were only compatriots around and I think this once again shows the level of the hotel, comments are unnecessary.

CONCLUSION

We had a great rest, but the hotel is simply terrible for its price, if a ticket to it was much cheaper than a ticket to 4-5 star hotels, then this is a good option for budget people, but when you know that this hotel is only 10% cheaper than hotels are 4-5 stars, and for all this you get a super loud track under the windows, terrible cleaning in the room, dead furniture, terrible food, then you start to think that somewhere you have fallen in love ...Well, okay, it will be a lesson for the future, henceforth I will thoroughly read the reviews before approving the booking, and you do not repeat my mistake, read this review and avoid like fire this "beautiful hotel" sounding like "King's Butt"! : ))
