Очень хороший отель Very good hotel

We rested together with my wife in this hotel from 18.05. 2013 to 25.05. 2013.

Of course, we took vouchers to Topkapi (because you have to be a complete idiot to want to go to Turkey for the sake of Moscow architecture), but they settled us in the Kremlin))). I want to immediately draw your attention to the fact that the Kremlin and Topkapi are only for appearance and convenience, 2 separate hotels with two receptions, a double set of restaurants and the entire infrastructure.

In fact (and because of the open access to both territories) - you have one hotel with a huge and, as it were, slightly mirror-symmetrical territory. In fact, due to open access to two hotels, we have half of the hotel in the original Turkish style (Topkapi), half - Russian (Kremlin). They settled us, of course, in TopkapiT without any problems, since they took a ticket there, but they gave only the first floor.

I don’t advise you to take the first floor - firstly, there may be a little more mosquitoes (by the way, there are almost no mosquitoes, 2-3 per night), and secondly, at night, with the door open, it will be very dumb to sleep - all the balconies of the rooms on the first floor are terraces without fences through which you can freely go outside. Imagine you are sleeping, and you have guests: four drunken Germans))))))) Yes, and the noise in some rooms from passing by is guaranteed. I didn’t solve the problem with twenty dollars, but I didn’t try hard either, to be honest, that’s why they settled in the Kremlin without hesitation and immediately. In fact, don’t waste your money, it doesn’t matter where they will settle and where to spend the night - these are Turkish or Kremlin buildings. It's just a matter of principle. Between them 200-300 meters. It seemed to me that the Kremlin ones should even be quieter at night. And even if the problem of the first floor has not been solved by you, the under-ceiling conduits in the rooms are made so famously that you don’t feel the flow at all, you won’t get sick.
And at the lowest speed - you can't even hear it (you walk, you look, it's on or not).

I did not see the real beauty of these two hotels in any of the photos on the Internet. Believe me, the Kremlin is worthy of respect, and TopkapiT is a fairy tale in general. Everyone writes about the fact that they went to the dining room of one hotel, since it is better there, the pools of another, the entertainment of the first - all nonsense. There, the whole principle is built on the fact that the first is not better or worse than the second, otherwise it will affect future occupancy. The food in the main restaurants is basically the same to every olive, both restaurants are good in their own way. In the Kremlin, in a restaurant on an open terrace (by the way, it is also there : -)! ! , it is not immediately visible) - the sun in the morning, in Topkapi the sun on the terrace - in the evening.

They try to accommodate all Russian-speaking people in the Kremlin, regardless of the occupancy. All the rest (Germans, Italians, British) - in TopkapiT.
It’s just that in order for the Russians to stay close to the Russians, there will be less possible interracial troubles that can turn into scuffles from jokes. The Moscow accent was very unpleasant at first, but when they began to spend more time in Topkapi among the Germans, all the time it was tempting to laugh and start making fun of them. I think the Germans are not very pleased, so they are doing the right thing by resettling them. Although, you see, it’s much more interesting to start swearing at Germans who don’t understand Russian at 3 in the morning because of their “Dest ist fantastic” than with Russians)))


The attitude towards all Russian speakers is, of course, a little worse than towards the Germans and the British, but this is understandable. The second ones are always happy with everything, always smiles on their faces, they will never argue with the staff about anything, they always have small money in their pockets, tips are given almost everywhere in the amount of 2-5 Turkish liras.
Well, our cattle considers it appropriate to argue with every Turkish waiter that something is wrong with him, as always. So funny. You can immediately see the level of a person (it means the waiter is arguing with the waiter))))))))) But there were almost no such people, apparently Vovan and Gena from Tagil (Our Russia) clearly showed themselves to everyone from the side)))))) They gave and we tip sometimes in restaurants. But you also need to give wisely and for certain things. Once - the waiter became courteous as a son of his own, once - he got lost))) And his work, exactly the same as without a tip, was performed by another.

So the review is this - definitely go and go again. In fact - pay for a ticket as for one hotel - you get two. And two mega hotels, they are worth it, believe me. The quality came from the number of people vacationing there, respectively, a large influx of money from the sold vouchers + the price of the voucher is sweeter than in the same hotels in the neighborhood by a couple of hundred greenbacks.
And the food, and the beaches, and the pools - all of a very high level. The owners of these hotels (World Of Wonders) also have a Venetian-style hotel, but it does not have a neighboring territory with the Kremlin, but is located a little earlier along the road - it's a pity. Three hotels with a common area would leave all competitors there with a nose.


In general, as for me - pluses in everything. The sea in May is already like in the Crimea in August, it is warm to swim, +22. Surprisingly, from the main restaurants, everyone was dragging food almost with shovels, throwing fruits into bags. It's crazy, in other hotels I have not seen such waste: at the exit, the onlookers can grab hands if you are dragging food. Here, the attitude to this is on the faces as "health, dear, if only you were full. " Once a cup of yogurt, taken out of dinner in a completely defiant way, saved me from sunburn in the evening. All yoghurts there are natural, all products too (in general, throughout Turkey). Religion simply apparently does not allow them to use substitutes.
You arrive in Turkey, no matter how you overeat - never any problems. Just flew home, a piece of cheese - immediately the liver reminds of itself. Pork in Turkey is zero - a huge plus.

Wi-Fi in the hotel is best caught in the rooms, free. The speed of 100-200 kilobytes per second was enough for Skype conversations with poor video quality, sometimes I had to turn off the video. Disable beforehand all automatic updates in your antiviruses, Windows updates to leave the entire stream for Skype, do not open other programs like ICQ and Internet Explorer in parallel. It works like this: they saw that Wi-Fi was connected, immediately went to the Internet browser, to some page, the hotel will throw you to its home page, where you will need to log in (press the "Free View" button), and then connect programs like Skype or ICQ. If they do not work after a while, open the browser again and log in.
There is also paid access via Wi-Fi, but it costs 7 euros per day. I consider it necessary only for those who earn money through the Internet : -)

I will write only one objective MINUS, which haunted every evening. And a very annoying minus, he upset us very much. The animation amphitheaters in both hotels have cast cement seats. Beautiful and practical - but sitting is unrealistic. Within 15 seconds, you begin to feel the cold creeping deeper and deeper into you. And there are no pillows. There was only one option - to put beach towels on the ass, as they simply did not take thick sweaters with them. But alas, in the evening they did not have time to exchange wet ones for dry ones (because this can only be done before 19:00). Yes, and it’s expensive, beautiful and beautiful, in evening dresses - going to the room for towels to sit down to watch the show, and then dragging them back is not convenient.

Although the amphitheaters were full, people sat and endured))) But, alas, at +20 +23, unfortunately, we never saw the animation. A very big minus, in other hotels where you didn’t really like the rest, the animation pulled out the impressions of the hotel just grandiose. I hope the hoteliers will read my review and make pillows for the ass : -) Ideally, plastic chairs, of course.

Yes, and do not expect anything to dry on the balconies at night. The humidity of the air at night is such that the dry becomes wet. You can dry things only during the day under the sun. At least in May it is. According to this, the Turks change towels in the rooms every day, beach towels too.

I will round up. Try not to take grub into plates for eight for yourself alone at a time, it will really be a shame to leave without trying even half. It is better to take a little bit, but for several approaches (do not be lazy to get up and go for grub 2-4 times).
It's so wild to watch how untouched fruits, sweets, sausages, 10 types of cheese - everything goes to waste, nothing is filtered later. Don't be stupid, guys, next year, because of such jokes, they will raise the prices for tours, and they will raise, raise and raise. Although I managed to keep this paragraph only in 40% of cases, greed is greed)) But, so to speak, in order not to lose face, "through I can't" the excesses of Turkish hospitality were absorbed to zero, sometimes my wife endured my 100 or already 120 kg of live beautiful weight)

P. S. Yes, and don't stay there for less than 10 days and 11 nights. Seven days - only to annoy himself, he will begin to relax to the fullest, and already fly away. Ideally, two weeks. And don't buy any boxed sweets from the store on your way to the airport when you're being transferred to your flight at the end of your holiday. They are of low quality. Even the honey used does not seem to be natural.
Take in advance for souvenirs by weight, having previously tried. The standard is a hotel pahalava.
