The Aral hotel was a very friendly place and the staff were very helpful and always had a smile on there face especially the younger Kurdish lads. The room`s were also very clean and new sheets and towels everyday by the cleaning staff the only issue was the T.V really but that`s not something you can complain about on holiday.... More

The Aral is clean and functional. We stayed AI which is poor, the food is plentiful, but repetitive, the young boys who wait the restaurant work 16 hour days for a pittance but always smile. I can't really complain about anything other than "standards", this just doesn't meet the standards of other AI we've stayed in. The pool area is... More

My friend and I enjoyed our time at the Aral. The rooms were clean and spacious, location was ok and the food is what you would expect for a 3*. We often walked into Side which is a lovely area.

The food was lovely, although there was salads everyday there was variety in the hot choices. We heard a few people moaning about how crap the food... More
