Side Spring Hotel

Stayed as part of Easy Jet booking, rooms clean, a little dated. Food lovely, on site bar, staff lovely and helpful. Walking distance to beach and old village. Only down was pool not available for 18-25 nov time and I would have used this daily

Hello, I was there from 1st to 10th of October. I want to mention from the beginning that I have never posted a hotel review. I had the opportunity to stay in many hotels during my vacations. Someone must tell the real truth. I will mention not only the negative ones. 1) The Internet is quite good even on the 2nd floor and it's free. 2) Every morning at 10 and 11 a.m. there is a free minivan (very old) that transports you from the hotel to Blue Beach and back at 4 p.m. and 5 p.m. free of charge. 3) The sunbed allocated to this hotel is also free. 4) The only members of the hotel staff who are really realistic and polite are the young waiter, about 22-25 years old, and the receptionist (also a man) of about the same age. By chance, these two speak and understand English.In total, 3 members of the hotel understand and speak English. I think the 3rd is the manager or even the owner, but I will come back to him later because it is good to know what kind of fake person he is. What is negative: the food! me and my wife not being picky and we don't have any allergies to the ingredients either! We went "half board" but we regretted it because for the same price and the same 10 days I was in Alanya in May at the Club Big Blue Suite Hotel and almost everything was super,food,staff(all inclusive!). Every morning at Spring it was the same boring food, boiled eggs, some boiled vegetables without a bit of taste. Someone said here what a great barbecue near the pool on weekends, wrong! Only once a week (Tuesday) - I know because I stayed for 10 days and I saw it twice. That was really tasty and that so-called chef would give you drumstick and then look at you like "what, isn't it enough?" But what bothered me the most was the following incident: I am a heavy smoker and I insured myself by taking with me everything related to rolled cigarettes (tobacco, filters, papers and especially the rolling machine). Spain when I couldn't find some of these things and that's why I insured myself during my stay in Turkey. One of the afternoons before leaving the room I hung the "Do not disturb" sign on the outside of the door handle because we don't want them to clean our room because it was clean. Ofcourse when we cameback around 5pm that sign it was no longer on the door but inside, the cleaning lady had arranged the room again and threw all my things related to cigarettes in the trash who knows where. Basically, it was a bag with all these items,items very difficult to find in other countries,exept tobacco. I went to the reception and this time it wasn't that young man who speaks English so I tried to explain to the ladies who are part of the manager's family what happened. Finally they called the manager and he arrived after about 30 min.I explained the whole phase that I posted that sign on the door and it's no excuse that the cleaner doesn't know English, working in the hospitality for many years she should know wh

Had a 10 night stay at this family run hotel with good first impressions after arriving at almost midnight and being offered ( free ) tea or coffee.There is also free water available 24 hours in fridge in restaurant area.Everything about the bedroom was good,a little verandah with table, chairs and washing line and pool view ( all rooms had this) I don't like showers so found the cubicle quite small, doors tricky to shut and very fine line between water too cold and too hot. There were no shelves or storage for your toiletries.The food was good, evening meals quite spicy and no description so not quite sure what we were eating.Dessert usually fruit.There is a free bus to the hotel's free beach, twice daily both ways.The toilets there are good but the beach cafe quite expensive for what you get.The family are very friendly and helpful,even little 2 years old Emir likes to ask you if your meal is all ok.Onlyl downside was the distance from anything you could walk to,half an hour in temperature of around 30 degrees,to a beach, shops,Cafe's/restaurants and the very interesting ancient ruins.Managvat is worth a visit on the local bus for a boat trip.

The 1st time I have been away on my own & I couldn't of wished for any thing more, this small family run hotel is described as a budget hotel, I was very impressed with Side Spring, the owner & his lovely family made you feel so very welcome, the rooms were a very good size & very clean, beds comfortable & pillows lovely, the food was of very good quality & a good selection, every night we had different choices & at the weekend a bar-b-que by the pool, the pool was fantastic & u could use it up till 10pm, also it's the same depth all the way round with a baby pool on the side but no slides which I liked, because then there isn't lots of children, If your just looking for a quite laid back do nothing break then here is ideal, food is available all day from the bar next to the pool, the food was excellent & so reasonably priced, there is a free shuttle from the hotel to the private beach which takes about 5 minutes & brings you back later, the beach was lovely & sunbed's & umbrella's were free of charge, the bar on the beach also does food which again was very reasonable & very delicious. The area is a bit quite but if you walk a little way there are shops & restaurants also a market on a Saturday morning, next time I am going to explore more but I was very content just lazing around the pool & eating. I will most definately return here & will have 10 days next time, very nice plants around the hotel & the gardens very well maintained, every thing about Side Spring is a positive & I can't wait to return with my family this time. Thankyou for my wonderful stay is my last words..

Side Spring Hotel is a small, and perhaps therefore a very good hotel. It has a friendly and familiar atmosphere with an excelent service. You feel, that you are welcome. The hotel is clean and the food is good. The hotel is not in the city center, but you can get there after a miles walk. Absolute a hotel to recommend. Love from Lone Fagerberg and Lars Engelbrecht Rohde from Aalborg, Denmark.

I booked this due to the positive reviews I had read but I am wondering if this was the same hotel. I did not expect 5* accommodation and service but I did expect more than I received . There was no lift and I arrived late at night and had to lug my suitcase up four flights of stairs. I was not even offered water after a long day of travel. There were some great positives. The evening meals were very good quality despite limited choice. Limited breakfast choices but good quality. I felt the the staff were watching people like hawks and I felt a sense of unease throughout, not the overly friendliness I kept reading about. I travelled as a solo woman. I wish as much effort had been placed on the cleanliness of my bathroom as was placed on constantly rearranging the furniture at the pool area as the shared areas were indeed clean. There was dodgy wiring to my tv and as the remote did not turn it off I had to unplug from the wall. I recommend using the safe for storage of items including essential medication. The cleaning lady unlocked my room whilst I was resting on the bed in my underwear the morning I was leaving to hint for a tip. She did not leave at that point, entered the room and insisted on using her phone to translate her comments. I feel this was inappropriate and unacceptable. I could say more.....
