A good hotel in the price/quality ratio The most important advantages: - location, 5-7 minutes walk to the center and the beach - there are many chain stores and local establishments nearby - good nutrition. No frills, but there was always chicken, turkey, grilled meat, and fresh fruit. You won't stay hungry - the Russian-speaking staff at the reception will always help, and you can also exchange money at the normal exchange rate - although small, but beautiful and well-maintained territory of the hotel - free parking Of the cons: - when fully loaded, you need to wait for a table for lunch/dinner - the rooms need minor repairs in some places - terrible cocktails Also, the hotel guide from Anex tour is useless: it offers money exchange at an inflated exchange rate, incomprehensible transfers through it to Sberbank, and horror stories about how scary and dangerous it is in Turkey if you don't take an excursion in Anex. Zero useful information about the city, prices and interesting places. In general, the hotel is more suitable for outdoor activities. If you only spend the night and have breakfast/dinner, then this is a good option.

We were at the Halici hotel with my mother from 14.08 to 21.08. I'll tell you point by point: Check-in: we arrived late, when dinner was already over, we were met at the reception, first we had dinner, then we were checked into a room on the 1st floor. There are 2 girls working shifts at the reception, both are very pleasant, they will always prompt and help. We immediately connected WI-FI, and I can say that it catches everywhere well, even when you're sitting by the pool, but in the evening after dinner it may be slower due to the higher load. Room: We were put in a room with a view of another hotel, there was a kitchen below us and we could hear everything with the balcony open. At first we wanted to change the room with a view of the pool, the next day we were given the opportunity, but we had already laid out all our things and decided to stay here. So if you have any problems with your room, you can be moved to another one. We were cleaned every day, towels were changed 2 times, bed linen was also changed 2 times, beds were made, everything was clean and cozy. On your birthday, the room is decorated, if you want the waiters to congratulate you with a cake, then it costs about 2,000 lira (4,000₽) . There is a TV with one Russian channel in the room. The only NEGATIVE is that there are no hooks, there is nowhere to hang the same handbag, and there is nowhere to put your accessories in the bathroom except on the sink. The sea: it's a 5-minute walk to the sea, I advise you to walk in the morning, it's very clean, almost always calm. It is better to go further away, as there are many ships and yachts and mud can come from them. You can go to Icmeler, the sea is cleaner there, there are free beaches with sun beds (either pay 200 rubles for a sunbed, or order something from their restaurant), we could take one drink and lie there for half a day. The orange bus runs every 10 minutes, costs 40 rubles per person, and it takes 15-20 minutes to get to Icmeler. He stops anywhere, you just have to point and he'll drive up. Swimming pool: the hotel has 2 pools: larger and smaller, depth from 140 to 160m, there is one slide, the water is always clean, does not smell of bleach. I advise you to come and take a towel on the sunbed before breakfast if you plan to relax there, because if you come later, there will be no more places. The contingent is mostly Americans, Germans, and few Russians. Food: the food was very varied and delicious, but the breakfast was monotonous: eggs and omelette, cheeses. There is no porridge or cheesecakes, as all food is mainly for Europeans. For lunch and dinner, there were 4 types of meat and fish, the side dish was incredibly delicious rice and potatoes, mashed potatoes (slightly different in consistency). Fruits include melon, watermelon, grapes and plums. The pastry is almost all tasteless. Rolls were prepared in one day. Staff: incredibly helpful guys, always keep things clean, clean up as soon as you sing, help with everything, mostly guys work. This hotel deserves more than 3 ⭐️ Thank you for a wonderful stay!
