Side Alegria Hotel & Spa - All Inclusive-Adult Only

I had a horrible check-in experience at the hotel. When I arrived there at 20:45 they told me to have dinner first. When I came back they told me a room wouldn't be available before 1:30, which is unacceptable in my opinion. Finally I was brought to the room at 2:15, so after almost 5 hours waiting. I have made an official complaint about this. Room and food are great, drinks you must get yourself and mostly stand in a queue for some time. It's also positive that the hotel is quiet, but expect noise from surrounding hotels. Most of the hotel staff could improve their English and German language, there are hotels better at this.

Arived 4 in the morning,giving annex fair enough across a busy road,this room was stinking bathroom vile and smell would make you sick,shower was disgusting and black fungus on the tiles,refused to stay in this room,told to come back at nine and speak to manager,got upgrade room paid 70 pounds,two days into holiday my wife and I were ill with stomach bug horrendous,on numerous occasions at night ran out of rum,so glad to get home,3 star at best

I stayed at Alegria Hotel & Spa in Side, Turkey, from June 8 to 15, 2025, and unfortunately, I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone expecting a true 5-star experience. ⚠️ Major Issues: 1. Room & Cleanliness Our room was facing a busy street, making it very noisy even late at night. The air conditioner (see attached photo) was extremely old, dirty, and smelled bad – we didn’t even dare to turn it on. The walls had visible stains, and the bed linen was simply placed in the wardrobe, not even made. 2. Unpleasant Smells & Hygiene There was a musty, unpleasant smell in the room, hallways, and even the restaurant. Cleanliness throughout the hotel was far below acceptable standards. 3. Restaurant & Food Quality The buffet had very little variation, and the food was bland and repetitive. Even the display was messy (see buffet photo). The cutlery was often dirty (see photo of the knife), which raised serious hygiene concerns. It didn’t feel clean or safe to eat there. 4. Misleading “All-Inclusive” The hotel advertised a full all-inclusive service, but water dispensers were emptied overnight and early in the morning, so we couldn’t get water when we needed it. This is unacceptable in a hot climate. 5. Reception & Staff The receptionists were indifferent and unhelpful. They barely spoke English and didn’t seem interested in assisting guests. We had to complain multiple times before they responded to basic issues like hot water. 6. Noise at Night Loud evening programs were held every night until midnight. Even with the windows closed, the noise was disturbing and made it impossible to sleep. ⸻ 🧾 Final Thoughts: Despite being marketed as a 5-star spa hotel, Alegria Hotel & Spa failed in nearly every aspect – from cleanliness and food quality to service and comfort. If you are looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday with reliable amenities and a hygienic environment, I strongly recommend you look elsewhere. 📷 Photos attached show: • The dirty air conditioner in our room • The buffet presentation, lacking variety and cleanliness • A dirty knife served to us at dinner This place was far from the standard any traveler deserves. I do not recommend this hotel.

I was in a guest house from May 28, 2025 to June 5 , I did not sleep for two nights because of the loud drum and bass music from the restaurant opposite from the sea , on Saturday until 2 a.m. on Sunday until 3 a.m. , I do not advise you to buy a room with a sea view , I will never come to this hotel again

Good hotel to be fair. Staff is kind and respectful. You should try their Anatolian soup. The room is clean and well maintained. I don’t know what else to say there because I am still there haha. However one thing I can say that guests are mainly German, polish and Russian.

The room clean everyday nice and clean shower, the staff at Hotel very friendly and helpful always at hand, Hotel area lounge very satisfactory and reception with snacks / juice drink provided everyday… Diner, very nice and clean food is plentiful and all the beverages is good alcohol is waiter service with a smile and***
