We were a family of 2 adults and 2 children aged 11 and 3.
The hotel is a maximum of 4 stars.
Settlement.
They waited until 11 in the morning, before they even wanted to settle for money. There were 3 beds in the room, the maid brought another bed in 10 minutes after the request. With a dryer for things, the situation was more complicated, the maid knew only Turkish and was looking for a dryer for 5 hours.
Staff.
A clear lack of staff in the main restaurant and on site. Dirty plates are not removed from the tables. If you come at the beginning, they can bring wine or whatever else you order, a little later - no longer, the napkins are clean, pour the wine - all by yourself. The table will be cleaned only when they got up and left. Observed garbage on the floors (pieces of food) lay for several hours. The staff in the bars also mostly knows Turkish, English - they can only count.
Animation.

The hotel was just full of Turks (!!! ). We heard a version that everything that was not booked was specially given to the Turks, and it was cheaper, so that they left Istanbul. As a result, all the jokes and reprises are in Turkish and then one line in English and a couple of phrases in Russian. Not interested. Moreover, on the evening animation, the main presenter is a vulgar and arrogant Turk. The quality of the evening shows leaves much to be desired. That year in the 4-ke in Beldibi it was much more interesting. Daytime entertainment is poorly spaced in time, for example, football and volleyball and shooting from a gun at the same time.
Animators at daytime entertainment are different, who don’t care at all, someone is trying to sell CDs with music from animation, who is trying to send and be impudent - these are put in their place by real Ural boys, for which respect to them))) By the way, if the joke was in Russian - the animators translate it for the Turks, but if, on the contrary, the Turks neighed for something, no one translates anything for the Russians and the British.
Gozlem.
We really like it with peanut butter, but here they only made stuffing with cheese, potatoes and spinach, so if you want something sweet, you have to go to a bar, take bags of sugar there, pour it yourself and then after at least 30-45 minutes in line sweet gozleme will be made for you. . . Ayran is too salty.
Rooms.
Shabby furniture, cracked tiles, mold inside the cabin. Soap accessories are not put on everyone, then on one, then on 2, sometimes on 3 (although there were 4 of us), towels were also not put on 4 at first, maybe then the beds were counted, they began to put 4 sets of towels, but everything was clean . The bed was changed daily, the bar replenished normally, coffee was put in a day or two. It is convenient that a kettle with cups of water and sugar is already in the room. If you hang a green sign when leaving for breakfast, then by 12-00 the room will already be removed.
Gorki.
We liked the Kremlin slides more than in Top Kapi, in Top Kapi the joints were strongly felt, although there is a cool pool with a wave (it rarely starts and only for an hour) and if you want to sunbathe like on a mattress, you can swim along the stream in Top Kapi .
Pools.
Hamam liked ours more, and in our indoor pool there is a shallow pool of 40 cm, the youngest liked it very much, but in the top capi in the jacuzzi the water is warmer than 35 degrees)))
Nutrition.

The main restaurant has a lot and variety of everything, there is a separate children's table (it is not available only for breakfast) and a platform on the veranda with a grill, watermelons and pancakes. I liked the sea restaurant, but in Pasha the service let us down a lot, we waited for a long time for some reason.
Bars.
Delicious cocktails are made in the lobby bar. In Elegia (2nd floor from 21-00) they don't know how to make cocktails. Mojito, blue lagoon - sucks, it doesn't even look close, Pina colada - as a result, a milkshake, they just forget to add alcohol there))), baileys - you really can't spoil it just by opening a bottle...
In bars, if you ask, they give you a set of nuts.
Sea.
The sea is clean, although a couple of meters until you enter small pebbles, then sand. The fish were fed in the morning, flocks of fish sailed, even a little more than a palm in size (fish).
Shopping.
If you need Turkish delight and sherbet, then you need to take it when they take it to the airport, bring it to the sweets factory, it is fresh there, they give you a try and costs $ 10 per kg !!! , the tour operator tried to tell us that the normal price is $ 25-30 per kg (minus tour operator). Leather - the tour operator takes you to the Mondial store - the choice is weak, the prices are overpriced as usual, bargain to the fullest, relax and just enjoy the process - really drop the price and take the thing for 30% of the price tag, if you liked something, check it. Friends themselves went to dolmush for textiles, took good T-shirts for 10-11 dollars per piece.
Eviction.
We were picked up at 21-00, and the room had to be vacated at 12-00. Near the platform of the hookah bar, pillows were laid for the youngest, and at lunch they slept there, and things were handed over to the luggage compartment.
Outcome.
In general, it is interesting to look at, coolly done. But the second time would hardly want to go here again. The hotel is a 4-ku, because for the price it came out to us as a 4-ka - that's fine.
