Ayderia Hotel Review

Overall Rating

None

The hotel was awful. We paid for all inclusive and hardly had anything in the hotel

Marmaris, Ayderia Hotel - I should have took more notice of the reviews on this website before I went. I've never stayed in such an awful place like this before. I booked with Vision Holidays and they describe this hotel has being a superb family run hotel, as I went on holiday with just my daughter I thought this will be fine. The hotel was full of young single people all staying in Marmaris just for the nightlife.

Whilst I was there I experienced the most frightening events of my life. I was wakened in the early hours of the morning with the young lads in the room next room to me coming back from their night on the town. After quite sometime I could still hear a lot of noise and decided to go and politely ask them to be quieter. On opening the door the whole of the corrider was in complete darkness and FULL OF THICK SMOKE!!!! I ran back in the room to get my daughter and picked the phone up to speak to someone on reception about what was happening. I was informed there was no fire!!! We came downstairs in thick smoke to find 2 FIRE ENGINES attending to the fire in the bar area and reception of the hotel. On our way down the stairs a guest from the 3rd floor smashed the fire alarm box on his floor to alert the other sleeping guests. Yes! everyone did get out of the hotel safely, but with no thanks to the staff and the fire was confined to the ground floor. However, 1 lady was taken to hospital at 8 am the following morning with breathing problems from smoke inhalation and was kept in, also a few other people were treated for the effects of the smoke.

The fire engines had no sooner left than the cleaners & all other memebers of staff set to work cleaning and painting the reception. In all credit to the staff the reception was back to normal by 2 pm. Walls washed and re-painted, sofas cleaned & curtains washed. The fire was caused by a fridge in the bar area and most of the fire damage was confined to this area.

The worrying thing was no fire alarms were alerted to get guests out of the building. The young lads in the room next door asked us the day after what had happened - they had slept through all of this. I dread to think what could have happened.

We booked and paid for all-inclusive, the food was appalling!! We ate out every night. The salads were just laid out on silver trays on tables which the flies just made a bee line for. Lunch & dinner we had a choice every day of chips, pasta & rice, accompanied by one meat - mainly chicken!! There was also a bolognaise sauce served everyday & I was never brave enough to try it.

The hotel is in a good location for the beach. At the hotel was a man who everyday sat on your sunbed and tried to sell to you his turkish bath & massage!! The hotel owner and his family sat at the same table on the patio everyday watching everything & everybody. His wife had a little dog that was allowed to just run around the hotel grounds yapping & on some ocassions snapping at anybody. It was even allowed in the dining area where the food was served!!!! The owner & his wife had his meals brought to him every meal time by the over-worked waiteress!!!

The rooms were filthy. The bedside tables and dressing table were never wiped over, the floors were not swept, the 1st room we were given (at 5am) the sheets had holes in them. We were moved the following day as the room had a double bed & I had asked for twin beds. Luckily there was a young couple who wanted a double and kindly swapped with us.

The list is endless of things that weren't right with the hotel I could go on!!! It was a complete waste of money. Luckily for us we have another holiday booked but had this been our only holiday of the year we would have been really disappointed. This was an endurance test not a holiday.

Faulty Towers must be a 5* Luxury Hotel compared to this place!!! Book with caution!!
