I stayed in the Seler Hotel with a friend in mid-summer 2011. We were fairly aprehensive before travelling there due to some reviews on here, and as we arrived late night/early Morning it was dark so we were stilll non the wiser. Easy check in, and our bags were quickly carried to our room. Woke up in the Morning, and found nothing wrong with the room, basic but clean with a nice balcony. Headed down to the Bar/Reception area and saw the staff laughing and joking with some of the guests by the pool, I must admit when we saw this we were wondering if we were going to be hassled. How wrong we were! The staff were lovely, couldn't do enough for you, and always around if you needed them. They provided entertainment for the duration of our stay. As we were two girls alone they also gave us advice on where to go, and where was not so safe. We ate at the Hotel Bar during the day sometimes, which was always nice, but did not try the Restaurant (and didn't feel pressured to do so)
I do think the prices were quite high behind the bar, especially as the alcohol was watered down (one member of staff admitted this to me) and we had a fairly hefty tab to pay off every couple of days!
It is a lively Hotel, but they do turn the music down after a certain time at night. I do think if you go to a budget 2 star hotel with a 24 hour bar then you have to expect a certain level of noise, with people making the most of their holiday! If you are looking for a relaxing holiday with lots of sleep then perhaps it would be better to book a quiet hotel in a quiet area?
