Reviews and opinions

Lara Hadrianus Hotel 4 * is an economical hotel that is not yet included in the best hotels in Turkey. Reviews of tourists are mostly positive, given the not very high cost of living.

The opinion of the hotel depends on individual requirements for comfort and level of service, as well as on the purpose of arrival.

Fans of active recreation almost only spend the night in the hotel - and in this case more positive feedback. And people who spend more time in the hotel, note its shortcomings.

Positive feedback

One of the advantages is a separate beach, which is distinguished by its spaciousness, cleanliness, clear sea water and the absence of commotion. There is a lot of greenery on the beach, there is a bar, locker rooms, decent restrooms and showers are installed.

The hotel bar serves beer and wine. Coffee, tea and water are available all the time.

The food in the restaurant is good. Meat is not served in whole pieces, but the cooks try to diversify the menu and prepare many kinds of dishes from minced meat or chicken.

Often mentioned about the composition of holidaymakers in Lara Hadrianus Hotel 4 *, reviews include reports of a large number of Iranians who come from families.

Russian tourists talk about unusual for them traditions: for example, Iranian women are bathing in the hotel pool in clothes. For many Russians, this is the first experience of communicating with other cultures, which often turns out to be very useful for them in the knowledge of various traditions.

In addition, the Iranians drink very little (or do not drink at all) and are always properly dressed, which is also an example for many, perhaps.

In the local parks there are many Turks, who always walk with their wives and children. And on the streets there are practically no drunks (except tourists) - even in the evenings.

The cozy rooms are quiet and peaceful, as there are almost no youth, discos are not very noisy and end early.

Despite the proximity to the airport, the noise of aircraft in the room is not audible - just close the door to the balcony.

The hotel is small, everything is located compactly, and the atmosphere is very calm.

Critical reviews

Quite a large number of tourists mention the location of Lara Hadrianus Hotel. Reviews are not always positive - many did not like the fact that the hotel adjoins an ordinary urban neighborhood with cheap high-rise buildings, cluttered wastelands, crowds of working people on the streets and a lot of stray cats and dogs.

The city beach, which can be reached on foot in a quarter of an hour, is polluted and has no infrastructure. The road to the city beach runs straight through crowded streets, where it is not very convenient to appear in beach clothes. In addition, on the city beach you can meet stray dogs.

Only wicker umbrellas are provided free of charge on their own private beach, but they do not save from the hot Turkish sun, so you can quickly get burned.

It is forbidden to bring your own drinks to the hotel beach - you have to buy it in the bar.

A free bus leaves the hotel from the beach without an exact schedule, so you can easily miss a single flight - in this case you have to pay for a taxi.

Cleaning in the rooms is very rare, stairs on the floors do not wash or sweep, only bed sheets are updated when changing bed linen.

Tourists, vacationing in Lara Hadrianus Hotel 4 *, reported that for lunch and dinner served, mostly chicken - for ten days may not be hot dishes from other products.

In the hotel bar and restaurant drinks are served only in glasses (100 grams), for an unopened bottle of water, juice, beer or wine, you have to pay extra. Naturally, all the drinks in the cups are strongly diluted.

The rooms are close to the bathrooms, so it is impossible to fully open the door (as it rests on the plumbing) and you have to squeeze into the toilet somehow.

Many tourists note the absolute absence of the advertised animation. Vacationers have fun at discos or watch movies on the Internet (but for high-speed access you have to pay extra).

Some tourists are annoyed by the morning and evening calls of the muezzin (the herald of the mosque) and the proximity to the airport.

Other hotels in Turkey

In the area of Lara there are several hotels similar to Lara Hadrianus Hotel at the cost of accommodation, the area of rooms and catering and leisure tourists.

For example, Club Hotel Falcon 4 * is also a city hotel and consists of several five-story buildings. Standard room is 18-20 meters. On TV you can see 2 Russian channels. The same range of services as in Lara Hadrianus Hotel is provided - and in the responses of tourists there is no declared animation and meat for lunch (except for chicken).

The quality of the services at the Club Hotel Falcon is appropriate for its value, and the hotel is suitable for active tourists who want to spend their holidays economically.

Among four-star hotels in Turkey in other resort areas, you can note hotels with a similar cost of living.

So, in Kemer (near Antalya) is the Blauhimmel Hotel, where the minimum cost of living is $ 64, while the cheapest room in Lara Hadrianus Hotel is from $ 40. The Blauhimmel Hotel offers the same facilities and services.

The difference lies in the location - not in the city microdistrict, but on the beach. The tourists who left the reviews note that this hotel is a great place for budgetary leisure of quick and active lovers of southern color.

• Own hotel beach is located far away, the bus travels only once (and not always on schedule). You can negotiate with a local taxi driver and quietly drive back and forth (about 15 lire).
• If the tourist leaves early in the morning, when the hotel management is absent, the staff at the reception desk may demand money for mythical "additional services".
