Selenium Hotel

As soon as we arrived, we ran into a problem, because they told us that they didn't have a family room available, so we would have to move to another hotel. We did not accept this, after they saw my decisive action, suddenly there was a room. The same thing was done with another couple the next day, they were put in a seedy hotel without air conditioning. The elevator did not work at all, the wording of free Wi-Fi is a trick, because it cannot be used in the entire hotel, not even in the common area. The members of the staff are rather young children who, even if tired, did their work continuously, they were directed by one of their older colleagues with their rude manners. This rudeness was also towards the guests, the older waiters were rude and condescending. (except for the gentleman with glasses, he was nice). He often shouted loudly to the guests. It was terribly disturbing that smoking was allowed in the restaurant, so we ate with children sitting around us surrounded by cigarette smoke. The food was below criticism. The remains of the previous meal were constantly exposed, especially the potato wedges left over from dinner at breakfast. What is completely outrageous is that on a weekday the previous day's bread and buns were invented. The cold cuts are usually one type, maybe one day there were two. The parisian was browned, the edges curled up, and it was unsightly to look at. Flies were feasting on it. Fruit every day is only melons and apples, but from the simplest, worm version. Cakes are offered every day, but every day is the same, pudding in bulk and a soaked sponge-like disk. It was horrible. There was never a slice of meat, maybe some tokány, mirelit meatballs in some sauce made from powder. The drink car mat could only be used at breakfast, watered down with horrible fruit juice. which, by the way, could be drunk with a glass at other times for 1 euro. The beach is ridiculous! With unusable beds and sponges with holes, as thick as herrings. You could wake up every day at dawn to the prayers of the mosque in the street next door, but if that wasn't enough, you were guaranteed garbage trucks, buses, and dripping air conditioners! All in all, never again, I will not recommend it to anyone, rather pay more, just don't come here!!!

Me & my husband stayed in this hotel last week and we had a fantastic time, I don't understand all the bad reviews. The food isn't moldy, there is 2 different coffee machines, I didn't see 1 ant, the rooms are cleaned daily. We went in thinking 'let's just make the most of it' after reading the reviews about uncleanliness and rude staff. The hotel couldn't be cleaner! And the staff are perfectly lovely, they speak English, the young pool guys work their butt's off cleaning round the pool 2 - 3 times a day and serving you as soon as you step up to the bar, they put some right hours in. No there isn't a full English breakfast, you are in the middle east 😅 but lots of choice to be had and all fresh! Felt very safe walking around day and night. Great location, can walk to the beach, the shops, lots to do in the area, we had a brilliant time, our first in Turkey and we will be back, thank you Selenium Hotel!
