You will turn your neck to the right, you will erase your legs to the left, and you will go straight to the school ...and this is all about the Matiate Hotel 4 *.

When buying a tour in Moscow, I was well aware that the hotel was the first in the line of the cheapest 4 * hotels for accommodation according to the ALL Kemer / Bilbidi system and you should not count on stones from heaven, but the Apteka. ru hotel made a splash and made a revolution in my worldview , and what could be so???

Economy room 702 ...and the hotel has such rooms on the minus ground floor, popularly called an underground prison without windows and doors, without a balcony and a refrigerator with a big window with a loophole under the ceiling measuring 30 by 90 cm overlooking the technical area of ​ ​ the dining room added impressions to for the rest of your life.

Always dark and damp with broken plumbing and non-working electrical appliances, this is something ...


After daily calls, entries in the repair and maintenance books, I generously received the remote control on the 6th day. Essss...
to sleep in a room without windows and a balcony indoors at an outside temperature in the month of July of 42-44, that's another song. I endured as much as I could ...but cheers they gave me a remote control and it turns out that the hotel has a long-awaited coolness, you can live.

The remote control from the TV is apparently still on the way and in 10 days I didn’t wait for it, since I didn’t need it, so let’s skip the annoying trifle.

For all 10 days of my stay, the room was not cleaned more than once, towels for obvious reasons, all the more so, but tea is not small children and those 4 towels given to me upon check-in were more than enough for the duration of my stay. With bed linen, of course, it’s more difficult here ...but we twist, turn, turn over and find a way out.

Due to the fact that not one dog except me entered the room, then a week later there came a skiff to a roll of toilet paper kindly issued upon check-in ...at first, napkins from the dining room helped out, which is not good.
And hooray, after a couple of days of requests, one single roll of toilet paper was generously given to me by a boy from the reception on the 7th day of rest. Question on a dignity. the node was closed ...but this is a pipets gentlemen. I am writing and I myself am surprised how I managed to go through this school of life in a room without windows and doors, stuffy and without air conditioning, TV and refrigerator, with broken plumbing and napkins from the dining room replacing my toilet paper.

Let's take a philosophical attitude ...apparently this is a punishment for the sins of the past, but seriously, I'm a man and lived alone in a room where there is minimalism in everything and came only to sleep.

Women, children, families...how???

The beach ...as you know, everyone flies to Turkey to sunbathe and swim, but there is just no beach near the hotel, or, as the Ukrainian brothers say, there is none.

A narrow rocky strip 15 meters wide with wooden / plastic broken bunks without mattresses, collected in the trash heaps of other hotels, densely standing in a row with one single one-way path, can hardly be called a beach.

But these are still flowers ...you try to go into the sea. Boulders, stones, large tracing paper and a quest step / find a place under water where you don’t break, don’t cut your leg, again, a guessing game, and bruises, cuts and bruises will not let me forget the hotel beach for a long time. We omit the question of what to go to it is not close at least 400 meters, so we think and prepare in advance where we are going. And if you have wives, children or elderly parents, then immediately NOTTTTTTTTTT.

I think that the tonar on wheels from the 90s called "beach bar" will add zest to your vacation...
the old broken apparatus with ZUKO shocks and decently anyone who dares to pour himself some water, why the “bartender” sits next to him personally presses the buttons sealed with tape in portions, dispensing drinks in plastic cups, thereby saving our lives. Where drinks and coffee are full of booze ...take care of your health.

Although the hotel positions itself as ALL, be prepared that you won’t pour tea, coffee and drinks for yourself and they are issued in a general queue by waiters strictly in plastic cups for which you will have to stand in line every time, showing how much and which ones.

And most of all lovely ladies and men...the hotel is non-alcoholic!! ! Get ready that only one drink will become your friend during your imprisonment in an underground prison, namely diluted foamy ...well, very foamy beer and two types of wine where the apple cider vinegar bought in Auchan upon arrival home will seem to you Madame Clicquot wine of the 1812 vintage. All...
nothing more!!!

Yes, and those two glasses of beer go get it, since there is only one bar for the whole hotel and everything, where you can’t even get water for children.


It is logical that the bartender gets tired in the heat, the machine often breaks down, the beer runs out + you drink a lot and you may be refused the next time you apply, etc. And after 21-00 a new quest starts ...one glass in your hands and then run with the whole family, where you need to have time to take after all at 22-00 finish.

Animation...the project is called back in the past, who remembers the weddings of the 90s with flat, vulgar contests and greasy jokes, when men burst balloons on their ass...wives, wrap each other in toilet paper and imitate in a pair dance sexual intercourse. Funny!! ! I liked it ...then you will definitely visit the Apteka Hotel. ru (why the Pharmacy ...the Pharmacy banner hangs on all sides, and on Google maps this miracle is not indicated as Matiate. The location is shown Pharmacy ...apparently, whatever you call the ship, so it will sail).
The idiot animator with a high, always yelling and nasty voice, who starts his show with yelling and screaming - Russia is here ...Ukraine is here ...Belarus is here, and so for 15 minutes every time I demand more and more whistles and claps in my address. The idiot really waved ...and the op from the speakers is such that sitting at the same table you are unlikely to hear the interlocutor. Nonsense, not animation + two eternally muddy girls who do not understand what they are doing (a couple of dances about funny ducklings and a train with kids on stage do not count) trying to sell you a children's T-shirt for $ 7 or a hookah. No...it's not animation. In reality, they counted the minutes when they shut up and you can safely listen to music. To drive everyone in the neck ...I have not seen worse.

The only plus of the hotel is the food...
it was everything and even more that I expected when flying to the cheapest hotel in Turkey, why I put 5 and for a 4 * hotel it’s very, very worthy, but one thing - to come to the opening strictly, otherwise, after 30 minutes, the finish line and left boobs-pussy- tail in the form of chopped vegetable salads. Well, they themselves are to blame ...you need to sleep less.


Pools, water slides, tables around the bar, rods, sheds are conveniently located, which does credit to the hotel and if there is no beach, the bar and drinks are again past, then the accommodation on the territory is competent and comfortable, and the rest itself is within the hotel ...I rate ergonomics at 5. If we take the ratio of the price of the tour, then Matiate Hotel 4 * will give odds to many of this price category ...in many hotels, even half of the indicated ones are not even close.

We found a way out from the beach on the third day ...You will go to the left and erase your legs !!!
We leave the hotel to the left and go along the road to the main entrance of the Anita hotel (green building) located on the opposite side of the road, then through the pool, the hotel area along the country road we run into a large more than 350 meters common beach of four nearby hotels. Of course, this is not a beach of the Rixos 5 * hotel, but after our quarries, this piece of coast with sun loungers, awnings, small pebbles and a smooth pebble-sand entry into the sea will seem like a paradise to you.

Travel time is exactly 14 minutes one way (700 meters), and walking in the heat of +40 ° C with children, towels, things and drinks (there is no bar on the beach) you yourself understand one "pleasure", but it's worth it, because there are simply no other more or less acceptable beach options nearby. By the end of the first week, the flip-flops were successfully erased into smoke on hot asphalt ...
my legs buzzed / hurt, my shoulders and body burned hot July (42-44 ° C), but the desire to sunbathe and swim outweighed all the disadvantages.

And now think and decide whether it is worth flying and relaxing in this hotel, or is it better to pay extra money to fly to more worthy and comfortable hotels for rest in Kemer/Bilbidi. For myself I will say - Thank you, but I do not want more.

Sincerely, Mikhail Yurievich.
