If the room does not face the street, which can only be in the main, upper building, then it is quiet in it. Took standard without a sea view. First they gave a room with access to the "yard", where instead of a balcony there is a common area with neighboring rooms. There are also rooms with access to the pool with back-to-back sunbeds or to the veranda at the bar in the main building, where drinks are drunk in the evening.

If the room does not face the street, which can only be in the main, upper building, then it is quiet in it. Took standard without a sea view. First they gave a room with access to the "yard", where instead of a balcony there is a common area with neighboring rooms. There are also rooms with access to the pool with back-to-back sunbeds or to the veranda at the bar in the main building, where drinks are drunk in the evening. I had to close the balcony door at night, from where only fresh air came. A couple of days later, at the request, they settled on the 2nd floor with a large balcony overlooking 2 pools and a window in the bathroom. They tried to pay extra for a sea view, but there was also a view of the street with cars, and I didn’t want to pay 70 euros.
The restaurant on the roof is wonderful, the food is of high quality, but once they gave rotten fish. The woman approached and asked what to do with the filled plate, where the fish gave off a smell. He advised me to throw it away and get another one.
The beach is a 7 minute walk towards the old town (just behind the statue of the plump ex-president). There are umbrellas and sun loungers. There is no toilet, bar or shower. Accordingly, the toilet was in the sea, and the sand was washed off, sitting on a concrete fence at the exit from the beach from bottles filled with sea water, which were delivered to the room and emptied daily. When asked about the lack of water, the beach boy replied: "a political problem. " The owner of the hotel, who sat in the restaurant on the roof in early October, was once the mayor. The current rulers cut off the water on the beach for him.
The sea is beautiful and clean. Sand and gentle entry. From the boats on the left of the beach to the next boats on the right, swim at least half a kilometer. You can walk to the right to the pontoon, where the fish are teeming when they are fed.
Waiters in a restaurant are more willing to serve beer or wine to those who tip or at least have a fun conversation. It’s easier to bring a glass yourself than to wait for the ordered one.
Many Germans are aged with stone sober faces, but there are also funny ones. Some people know English. One in the GDR taught Russian at school. Chat in their groups. When entering the elevator, they sometimes say "Haloo", answered in 3 languages. There are fewer Russians. There were Asians and Arabs.
A free minibus took several trips to a bar on No Name Beach on the far side of the peninsula near the old city. It's a minute's walk to the ruins of the forum. You can return back by bus or walk through the ruins and further along the promenade. The water is even cleaner there, the shore is deserted, the bar has a few sunbeds with umbrellas. The bus circled several hotels along the way, delivering customers to the bar. Delicious coffee - 2 euros.
If, when leaving the hotel, you cross the intersection a little to the left, then along the road from the sea you can walk from 7 minutes to half an hour to chain stores - A101, Migros, Soc, etc. , where even in such a place with high prices you can buy what you need at affordable prices.
On the left along the way there is a red booth with Simonov's lines: Wait for me and I'll be back (Wait for me and I'll be back. Yes, yes, this is not a quote from the Terminator).
After leaving the hotel and walking down the street to the right, you can visit two squares and walk to Waikiki and other clothing stores. To the left of Waikiki, a little further from the sea, there is a mosque, which has an exit bazaar once a week.
The old town on the peninsula is clearly visible from the rooftop restaurant. It's 25 minutes walk to it. You can buy a more expensive ticket to enter the amphitheater, where there is little to see, or a ticket to the museum is cheaper and more interesting. The museum is located in the ancient Roman baths.
A couple of times belly dances, highlanders, etc. were arranged with the obligatory preliminary removal of an ice cream cake on a stretcher to the anthem of Ataturk.

I chose this hotel because I wanted to in Side. Hotel 16+, settled us together in a single room, we went to resent at the reception, we were told that this is a standard and there are no other rooms. Then, for a surcharge of $ 100, we were offered to move to a suite with a jacuzzi. We paid and moved. We did not have a change of linen and towels, as well as cleaning.

In our room, the service was not at a high level. The food was excellent, there is practically no territory, there are buildings and three small pools. To the sandy beach - 10 minutes on foot, we were constantly looking for a duty officer who turned on the shower on the beach. The hotel is located almost in the center, so everything is nearby, and shops, and restaurants and everything. The guide was very nice in the hotel.

In general, I was satisfied with my stay at the hotel, but there were some minor nuances. Some sites write that there is a shuttle to the beach, but there was none (at least in early November). Not critical, because 300 meters can be easily walked. Check-in went well, but we got a room with access to humming air conditioners and a generator set (pay attention to this).

In general, I was satisfied with my stay at the hotel, but there were some minor nuances. Some sites write that there is a shuttle to the beach, but there was none (at least in early November). Not critical, because 300 meters can be easily walked.
Check-in went well, but we got a room with access to humming air conditioners and a generator set (pay attention to this). And although the room is economy, but this is not a reason to have and build rooms where it is impossible to sleep with an open balcony. Plus, there was some kind of dormitory on the floor with shoes put out in the corridor. It didn't bother me much, but it did bother me a little. Changed the number without problems, but only the next day. Economy rooms are very good I must say.
The second minus probably applies to the whole of Turkey, and not just to this hotel: smoking on the beach and in the restaurant. It was not very pleasant.
The third - periodic noise from discos until 23-00. This is important if you are looking for peace and go to bed early, but again, not critical.
The fourth - in November, i. e. during the low season, the amount of food and its choice in the restaurant decreased markedly during the week that we were there.
Fifth - the rest fell on the birthday of his wife. This was noted on our tour, but the hotel did not congratulate, although the travel agency promised that they would give fruit and champagne. We survived these hardships calmly))
But basically I had a pleasant impression of the hotel and the city.
