I want to share my impressions about Medusa Apart Hotel in Side. I stayed here for a week, and I got a rather contradictory impression.
Let's start with the pros. The location is really convenient - the area is quiet, but at the same time close to the main attractions. The beach can be reached in 15-20 minutes, which is quite acceptable. There are several shops and cafes within walking distance, which is convenient for independent tourists.
The rooms are small but cozy. They have everything you need: comfortable furniture, TV, refrigerator. I was especially pleased with the presence of a kitchen with a stove and dishes - you can cook on your own, which significantly saves the budget.
Now about the cons. The main disadvantage is the condition of the premises. There is dampness in some places, especially in the bathroom. Plumbing needs to be updated, and signs of wear are visible in some places. Cleaning is carried out regularly, but not always with high quality.
The Internet is unstable, which can be inconvenient for those who work remotely. The rooms can be quite cool, especially in the evenings, and there is no heating.
The staff speaks mostly Turkish, and English is poorly understood. This can create certain difficulties in communication.
Despite all the disadvantages, the hotel is suitable for those who:
he is looking for budget accommodation
, plans to spend a lot of time outside the hotel
, wants to cook on his own
, is not picky about luxury
Verdict: 6/10
Medusa Apart Hotel is a good option for an economical stay, especially if you plan to explore the surrounding area and are not going to spend a lot of time in your room. The main thing is to be prepared for some everyday inconveniences and not expect a five-star service. I recommend booking this hotel if you are looking for a simple but comfortable place to stay at a reasonable price.
Andros is a great place, we really liked everything, the location of the hotel is very convenient within walking distance of everything you need for a great holiday, on average we did not walk to the sea for 15 minutes, the hotel has its own beach with umbrellas, sun loungers. The hotel itself has a fairly good pool, moderately deep and long, and there is also a small and not deep one for children. The staff is very friendly and executive, the food was always delicious and in abundance. Within walking distance of the ancient city of Side, on average we walked there for about 20 minutes, there are also shops nearby. In general, we did not want to. And the best part is the price is generally Top for your money. Many thanks to the staff and the manager for the warm welcome.
We were already in Turkey when we bought a week at this hotel. We paid 12 thousand rubles a week. They wouldn't give a ruble higher for this ****! The only normal thing in this hotel is the rooms (large and with normal repairs). There is no elevator, suitcases were dragged to the 4th floor on foot and lowered, respectively. The rest is generally tin. The next day after checking in, we just happened to find out that the hotel was closing in three days and we would be moved to another one. It is not clear why the hotel confirmed the reservation. There was no beer in the hotel and, as we were told, it would not appear, now it became clear why. The food is as poor as possible: potatoes and rice, soy sausages, a couple of times there was chicken. The fruits were watermelon and frozen melon, which is simply unrealistic to eat. Some kind of sweet flour with syrup, of an incomprehensible appearance and taste. The service is on "fuck off", the plates are taken away when you are still eating. You pour the tea yourself, you cut the bread yourself, you pour the drinks and the proven powders yourself. In general, I provide my own service for my own money. The music was Turkish rap all the days, not changed. They don't let you eat your own food and drink your own beer on the beach!!! It's generally *!!! Buy yourself a beer for money and you can't drink it from some ***! All the types you need to buy only from them at the beach bar in tridorogo. I'm in a***e! This is the first time we have come across such a ***! Travelata (where the tour was bought) did not help in solving the problems, everything was solved directly with the guide, who was also contacted by themselves. In general, both the hotel and the service are disgusting!
