Pelin

Upon arrival at 1:30 am the receptionist gave us the key to our room on the 3rd floor and pointed in the general direction of said room he did not indicate a lift and left us tom our own devices. the room was basic but clean. the breakfast was very good and the breakfast staff very attentive. using the poolside bar stroke restaurant was an experience cash transactions are not allowed and you are required to sign for all transactions. the prices are also very high with beer being 7 lira more expensive than restaurants on the beach front. the entertainment was also poor and impossible to avoid as the rooms are not insulated from noise. the ac was antiquated and noisy .. I would not recommend to anyone

We stayed at Pelin Hotel between 9th June-19th June 2019 . Our room was a standard double bed sized room which was quite clean and comfortable room whick cleaned everyday. The cleaning lady (Ummu) was arranging our towels on our bed almost everyday with different formations like twin swams. At the bar Ahmet & Oktay was very polite. When we asked for a fresh lemonade and an orange juice they actually pick the organic fruits from hotels own garden and prepared for us. At breakfast and dinner Yusuf (the manager) and waiters Omer, Huseyin and almost every other staff including the chefs helped us at personal level and with very polite attitude. Food was above average and quite tasty. At the lobby Arzu & Batu did help us whatever we asked for with again very respectfully and politely. I met people which spent their sixth holiday in this hotel and planning to come back. The minor problems was the WI-FI was not very strong at some sections of the hotel, but The lobby, the restaurant and the bar & poolside was quite OK .

Room clean and basic. Your not allowed to bring drinks in. I arrived at 1 in the morning and checked in. I asked if I can purchase a cold drink after a long journey. Just a blank face looking at me, no the bar is closed. Cleaners very happy and always say hello. Woman at reception speaks good English and very helpful. The rest of the staff are rude,never smile and very unhelpful. Went to the bar and asked to buy a lager. The bar staff can’t speak a word of English and had to translate using his phone. They give you a card to pay for drinks and food then pay at the end of your holiday. He puts a glass on the bar and gives me a unopened bottle of beer. Turkish man orders a beer, barman all smiles, gives him a glass opens the bottle for him and pours it out! For him. 99% Turkish staying there. Manager come running up to me, where is your card. Can I have a sip of my beer first. There was only one other English couple staying there for the whole week. Coaches pull up every day for locals to stay the night, they get breakfast at 7 in the morning enyone else 8 o clock, didn’t bother with breakfast. Not worth it. No toaster, tea and coffee in big urns and like knats piss. Breakfast on the beach for 3 quid. Maid came to clean my room, I was on the balcony she said hello then locked me on the balcony. Shouted down to the bar for somebody to let me out, blank faces. Plus side good location,air con free and wi Fi works in your room. Just bring your own drinks in and leave them under the air con. Would I go back, I doubt it. They need to go on a coarse and be taught to smile, be happy and welcoming.
