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.
