Akdora is a 4-star hotel, but it would be a stretch to say they deserve this rating. When we arrived, we were actually quite optimistic. It seemed like an okay hotel, even though we had read some reviews beforehand. We were given a family room on the 3rd floor with no elevator – fair enough. We could manage that. The room was okay and spacious, but old and worn. There were things scattered everywhere, and power outlets were hanging out of the walls. That said, it was clean and tidy. After a couple of days, we were moved to a microscopic room because another family was supposed to have ours – which would have been acceptable if not for the fact that we had to move all our belongings ourselves, without any help. It also seems like this is standard practice at the hotel. Guests are moved around constantly because the world’s grumpiest hotel manager is messing everything up. We had decent air conditioning, but we heard from many others that theirs didn’t work, and the hotel refused to do anything about it until the travel agencies got involved. The food is very repetitive and mainly consists of stews for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There’s no real variety, except that they sometimes serve fries and grilled chicken. The selection for children is almost nonexistent. The staff are kind and friendly and do their best. It’s not easy to take a shower in the rooms, because it’s almost impossible to get water that’s not either burning your body or making you feel like you’re in the North Pole. There’s also barely any private beach – maybe ten meters wide at most. It’s a strange place. We didn’t absolutely hate staying here – though many others clearly did – but we definitely won’t be coming back.
