Guest Reviews
- SandyZZZZZ (8/5): Bodrum always a good day ❤️ ❤️ 💙 💜 💖 - Small family hotel right in the centre of Bodrum. Nice atmosphere friendly efficient restaurant and food 😋 delicious without being expensive.
- briannash2 (8/5): Room,View,Staff, 5 Star . - Love it there . Decent rooms , decent breakfast , good position , decent evening / daytime menu , staff excellent . Big spoil is we could only go by Jet2 and flight times are terrible .
- wendygG1792BU (6/5): Quirky hotel with cats, a parrot, stags, dolphins and goat statues - The hotel is in a great location and near everything. The hotel is friendly and relaxed and lots of the guests are regulars and you can make friends easy here. Our room was small, dark and very dirty. The bathroom had not been cleaned when we arrived. Bed was clean (ish). Stayed in room 508 for 2 nights only before moving to a superior room (at an extra cost) which was much better! The smell of drains in 508 was sickening in the night !! The breakfast is repetitive but we ate, the omelettes are freshly cooked which is a nice touch. The hotel is in need of a full refurbishment, everything apart from the superior rooms is very tired and dated now. There is smoking everywhere, lots of coughing from lots of guests and the hotel staff chain smoking, it was like being in a drs waiting room with all the coughing. The bar and restaurant staff are lovely and do work hard. The restaurant food is actually quite good and we did eat here a few times. We enjoyed our holiday despite the negativity around our first room visiting gumbet, betiz and doing a boat trip.
The pool has a jacuzzi but it hasn’t worked for two years apparently so maintenance is not a priority.
Some broken sunbeds, I moved them to the back and the cleaners put them back complete with pigeon poop! Say no more, that’s without the parrot setting off at 6am thinking he’s a cat. There are lots of cats and we actually love that about this hotel and turkey generally.
- O2303BCemilyp (8/5): Good - The hotel is in a central location, everything is good, the breakfast is good, the pool is good, but there is a problem that it is very noisy at night, which reduces the quality of sleep.
- 3littlemariners (6/5): Good location but lots of negatives sadly - The hotel is in a great location very close to the harbour and the hustle and bustle of the shopping bizaar. The WiFi was decent throughout our stay , the food and drink ( beer) was reasonable but the cocktails were over 8 pounds and only in a smallish glass which we thought was pricey. The breakfast was a standard Turkish breakfast not really to our tastes however a lady was doing eggs/ omelettes which were nice. Now for the bad stuff the room we had was small with a tiny shower cubicle and balcony which I simply couldn’t through the door because it was so small. We complained the room was too small and was moved to slightly bigger room but no balcony making it dark and dingy but at least it was bigger. At 8am the maid who was rude and didn’t try to communicate with us huffed and puffed if we refused her entry being that it was so early. The pool is small and so close to any diners or drinkers it just didn’t work, with only a few sunbeds worth having around the pool they seemed to get bagged very early doors so never had one around the pool. We travelled to gumbet and bitez for the beach which we found much better. Not forgetting the resident parrot who starts squawking 6 am ish which basically woke us up everyday. All in all would I stay here again bearing in mind it was fairly cheap and the answer is no I’d go to gumbet or bitez nearer the beach
- Johnnydee1965 (8/5): Bodrum - The hotel is a 45 minute transfer from the airport, and is located on the outer edge of town, and is a 5 minute walk to the fairly narrow shingle beach, there are free public beaches with wicker shades or be prepared to pay for a sunbed!
There’s plenty of shopping in town, plus lots of good and varied cafes and restaurants, a good deal with beach front dining!
There is plenty of attractions, the castle is worth a visit, as are the boat trips, you can even go to Kos on the ferry, but if you want a view, don’t go on the catamaran, as the windows are misted with seawater and you cannot see anything!
The hotel is great with relaxed eating areas and bar, and very friendly and attentive staff, and the food is very good, as were the included breakfasts, my only gripe was our room was small and in need of updating, and wasn’t particularly clean, we bought some cleaning supplies to gib it a once over!
But definitely visit Bodrum, you will not be disappointed!!
Plus plenty of cats ☺️

- patriciasU6405VL (10/5): Exceptional - This has been one of many visits to this hotel. As usual, the service is excellent, the food is divine and the accommodation is clean but basic. The hotel is central to the city and is hard to beat. The staff could not be more accommodating and helpful. I cannot praise this hotel more highly.
- AndyH1971Scotland (10/5): Great hotel, staff excellent and in a good location ! - We're just back, Hotel Istankoy is a great hotel, avoid the poolside rooms if you dont want the bar noise, food was great at breakfast with a big selection offered....omelettes, scrambles and fried eggs with breads, meats and cheeses.
The staff couldn't be friendlier and they will do anything they can to assist.
Close to the sea front, restaurants and shops, 15 mins walk to the ferry to Kos.
Ideal location for exploring, not many sunbeds but loads of hotels and bars let you use theirs for free.
- F159ROkennetht (10/5): Hotel Istankoy - I cannot praise this hotel enough. The staff and management were absolutely superb. Nothing was too much trouble. We had some problems that were not with the hotel bur which they do sorted out immediately.
- V3192CBjennyp (10/5): Wonderful hotel! - Loved our stay here! Brilliant location close to main beachfront, restaurants and shops. Hotel was spotlessly clean, room was lovely with a really comfy king-size bed! Staff are amazing and the bar and pool area are fab. Looking forward to coming back next year. Mark and Jen room 905
- Aziza (10/5): - La piscina è la pulizia Colazione sempre uguale ma non male
- Alexandre (6/5): Boa localização - Hotel muito antigo. Parece um resort Américano dos anos 70.
Mais os quartos são confortaveis e modernos. Boa localização da para ir a pé para o centro.
- Rajaa (10/5): - J ai passé 6 nuits en chambre triple c étais tooop merci pour votre accueil et service c étais à la hauteur, hotel propre emplacement idéal personnel professionnel, petit déjeuner varié. Ras
- Steve (7/5): We enjoyed staying in this hotel, perfectly located to the shopping and eateries. - The breakfast was good with a large selection of delicious food. The pool area is too small for this size hotel.
- Ayoub (10/5): - Tutte era molto bello lo staff molto accogliente e disponibile la stanza gigantesca l'hotel vicinissimo al centro città ed attaccato al mare e la colazione era di più di quello che mi aspettavo Mi e dispiaciuto che nn sono rimasto più tempo
- flavia (9/5): Amazing please - Atmosfera, staff super Friendly, rispetto ba quella prenotata, ma siamo stati comunque bene, la pulizia, la posizione e soprattutto lo staff livello professionale top!
Torneremo sicuramente. Ci è stata data un altra camera rispetto alla nostra, ce l hanno cambiata dopo 4gg..ma va bene così
- ZIED (8/5): - Excellent emplacement bien animé, personnel très sympathique et serviable, buffet correct et carte bien varié et prix correct Les chambres ne sont pas bien nettoyées à chaque passage
- László (10/5): Teljesen pozítív és csak ajánlani tudom. - A reggeli teljesen megfelelő, mindenki megtalálja (kicsi-nagy) a magának való ételeket, a személyzet kedvessége, rugalmassága, a napi esti programok a bárban, a szolgáltatásaik szenzációsak. Nem volt ilyen.
- Beatrix (3/5): - Clean rooms, comfortable bed, great breakfast with freshly made omlette. The bar area is open until 2am every day and there is really loud "entertainment" every night. Belly dancing, breakdancing, karaoke and bingo, starting aftet midnight sometimes, on full blast, people singing from the top of their lungs until the early hours right outside your room... There is no way you can relax or have a normal night's sleep during your holiday. If you're looking for a chilled holiday, do not book here.
- Matteo (7/5): -
- Mona (9/5): -
- A5563FKmarkr (10/5): Great place to stay - Cracking hotel loved it staff are great beer was cheap very relaxing great location 👍 I would recommend it £540 for bed and breakfast cant go wrong
- JtZ (9/5): - Väldigt prisvärt hotell, vi bodde här i 4 veckor, det skulle behöva lite renoveringar, men för priset vi betalade är vi riktigt nöjda, mycket bra och centralt läge, kommer komma tillbaka. Lite renoveringsbehov,
- Andrea (10/5): Tutto perfetto - Staff gentilissimo, hanno risolto un problema con l'asciugacapelli in dieci minuti. Posizione perfetta, di fronte al lungomare e a due passi dal gran bazar. Camera bella, accogliente, pulita e ben fornita! Nulla
- K2289YDbilll (10/5): Trip to Istankoy Hotel - It was our second time staying at this hotel and would definitely recommend it
The staff were amazing and very friendly Erhan was extremely friendly and helpful
(Your son is a credit to you very polite and always helpful)
And memet on the back gate is was pleasure meeting him
The staff from room service to the bar and the kitchen made our stay a memorable one
And Hassan and all of your team are great ( shake em up )
See you again in September
Regards to you all Bill & Mandie
- Nicholas (4/5): Disappointing experience - Good location close to the beach Hotel staff will insult you and make fun of you behind your back if they think you don’t speak Turkish. Luckily my girlfriend speaks turkish so she understood everything. They didn’t apologize when we called them out on their behavior.
Also, there were cockroaches in our room.
- Murat (7/5): Für ein zwei Nächte Ok. - Wir waren nur gor eine Nacht dort. Die Zimmer waren neu, sehr hellhörige Zimmer. Der Swimmingpool und der Frühstücksbereich waren nicht unser Fall.
- emmahaskell (10/5): Highly recommended - What makes this hotel such a good one is the family atmosphere and friendliness of the staff. Nothing is too much trouble! Rooms are comfortable and are cleaned every day. The breakfast is great with plenty of options for eggs or omelettes as well as fresh fruit and salad items. I enjoyed being able to have a bar tab attached to my room, this was convenient to pay off at the end of my stay. Staff work so hard as a team and deserve our utmost respect. Having tried meals at local restaurants, we reverted to eating our meals at the hotel, such a wide range of menu options, I can highly recommend the vegetarian options such as the curry and fajitas. Portions are generous and you don’t have to wait long for your food to arrive. There’s a reason that most of the hotel guests there are return customers! We will definitely be back, thank you all again!
- paul82h (8/5): - This was a lovely hotel right in the heart of Bodrum close to the sea, beach, restaurants, harbour and shops (and around 40 mins transfer time from the airport). I spent most of the holiday in the hotel by the pool - it felt too hot to do much else and the hustle culture at the restaurant and shops in Bodrum with them vying for your custom doesn’t appeal to me at all. The rooms were comfortable and spacious enough. I was on the top floor and could see the sea from my balcony space. Being central it is quite noisy around through the night. The hotel breakfast buffet was lovely and the lunch/dinner menu had a vast range from local dishes to English favourites (I never thought I would have a Traditional Sunday roast in Turkey). You could eat here every night and have something different . I don’t think Turkey is as cheap as it used to be or as people make out and in Bodrum you have to watch out for extras being added to bills so it was relaxing just to chill around the hotel. The staff were all friendly and attentive and there was music, entertainment and Bingo on evenings over the course of the week. The bar was well stocked and fairly reasonably priced, a local beer under £3 draught. The hotel is smallish and there were not too many children(and it’s not a young party hotel either) so it it had a nice peaceful vibe which was relaxing.
- CAN (10/5): - Dolu
- LesaPink (10/5): Ab Fab ! - This is a really nice, safe, clean hotel with hardworking staff. Rooms are adequate and spotless. Kettle and hairdryer in rooms. Comfortable bed.
Breakfast is amazing. So much choice and so beautifully served. We used the hotel as a base to explore the area but there were plenty of people who used the hotel pool and restaurant all day long. There’s cheeky entertainment in the evenings like bingo if that’s your thing. My room was over the bar area but I took ear plugs which stopped the noise ( of people enjoying themselves ) when I wanted an early night.
Staff are absolutely amazing - so hard working. Reception staff are super helpful too.
Thank you for a lovely time.
- Adnan (10/5): Üst düzey ve keyifli - Otel 5 yıldızlı otel konforunda ve hizmet harika. Temiz, sessiz, merkezi ve fiyatı oldukça uygun, park yeri de cabası.
Kesinlikle tekrar geleceğiz.
- 572darrenb (10/5): As always..Amazing - This hotel offers a realistic feel of Turkey 🇹🇷 The staff are all amazing, helpful, and polite. Situated just of the main harbour front. About 150 meters away is the beautiful shopping centre. Although the prices have risen in Turkey, it's still good value for money 💰. Love the place.
- allanc407 (10/5): Bodrums best - Just returned after 2 weeks at the ISTANKOY, once again everything was top notch 👌
The staff are very attentive of all your needs and are all so polite.
A special mention to all the bar staff (hasan,sonir,tahmed(Besiktas) and the other lad whose name is didnt get)this lot made the holiday!.
Erhan and the reception staff are great as well.
The hotel is centrally located within easy reach of the bars restaurants etc and 2 minutes from the beach. The market is just about 15 minutes stroll.
Met up with some special friends Pat(he's a real boy) and Heather, Derek who was a ISTANKOY vigin,the London gels (Tina,Cath n Pauline), Carol,Shel,Nicky,Joanne and countless others
There is one person I have not mentioned and that is ALI (Number 2) what a trooper !!!
The Istankoy is a great hotel give it a go you won't regret it
Going back in September with all the family for my 70th birthday and looking to book June next year 10/10
- Meltem (10/5): - Otel aileler içinde arkadaş içinde emekli kesimi içinde çok uygun ve güzeldi havuzu küçük olsada güzel zaman gecirdik hayvan dostu olmasına ayrıca sevindik calisanlar içten güler yüzlülerdi çocuklarımızla da çok ilgilendiler. Hep kolaylık sağlandı ne talep etsek. Konum olarak Bodrum barlar sokaginin üstünde markete fırına çok yakın kalabalık bir mahallede olmasına rağmen otoparkı valesi vardi çok güzel avantaj sadece herşey dahil konsep olmasını isterdik.. tekrar tercih edebileceğimiz bir otel.tesekkur ederiz herkesin emeğine sağlık
- Trek748870 (10/5): Lovely - Lovely place and very friendly,all the staff are fantastic and bar staff very hardworking, lovely food great base for bodrun,thanks guys and girls will be back 😁,can't thank you enough ten days off bliss met friends and will be returning , September time,and will bring my friends with me , upgrade to a new apartment next time and treat myself 😉
- Explore28924949932 (8/5): Everything Changes, the one guarantee in life. By Mr &Mrs Brown Borehamwood - Firstly to the management and the staff, what a great holiday! Typically you get what you pay for when it comes to life. Anything beyond is an extra, that seals the likelihood of your return.
I won't be coming back as its time for the next generation to enjoy
- briannash2 (10/5): 5 Stars for a 3 Star . - Once again a lovely welcoming 2 weeks at the Istankoy Hotel . Made friends with the whole members of staff who are great . Big shout to Erhan,Badri,Sonam,Hassan,Samed,Ali and Deesha . Hope to see you all again in2026 . 3 star hotel with 5 star service . Thanks everyone *****
- charlottesmate (10/5): Excellent Staff, great location & highly recommended! - Cracking hotel in the heart of Bodrum, only 2 minutes walk to the beach down an alleyway and five minutes to the centre. Lovely and clean hotel, amazing helpful, attentive and friendly staff who could not do enough for you. I had a superior room and the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was immaculate and modern. Some of my party had standard rooms and they were very good too.
Ate at the hotel one evening and food was excellent, the breakfasts were plentiful and tasty too. Would go back at a heartbeat!
- Odyssey00293097096 (6/5): Lovely hotel but...... - First put us in a room not big enough for 2 to walk round the bed only one side of door opened had to squeeze out.
They changed us to another room after I split my arm.the second room was much bigger beds and pillars nice and soft.
Meals weren't that nice had cheese toasty and chips twice were cold the beer was cheaper than outside hotel
All staff were nice but I wouldn't go back
- arthur (7/5): Great staff, an excellent choice for holiday season. - Breakfast for free is continental style but you can pay for a full English. Go out of season (we had no choice) and outside bar area is, as you would expect, a little cool.
- Onur (10/5): Teşekkürler İstanköy - Otelin konumu, otoparkının olması, çalışanların ilgisi ve diğer birçok etkeniyle çok başarılı bir konaklamaydı. yeniden gitsem tekrar tercihim bu otel olur
- dave120267 (2/5): Won’t go back - We had a horrible experience at this hotel. Rude staff and management
Wouldn’t go back. The property is really nice and bar staff the best thing about the place.
It’s not very secure in some rooms and things went missing.
Hotel owner should look into this
- 65normand (10/5): Charming, comfortable and super friendly hotel in the centre of Bodrum - This is such a delightful hotel! The location is fantastic, just a few minutes walk from the beach and just a few minutes more into the centre of Bodrum. It is full of charm, from the decor to the wonderful staff who work there. I had orignally booked another hotel nearby, but ran out of the place after one night there was so much wrong with it. I happened to stumble across this hotel and was delighted to have done so. The staff cannot do enough to help, which is wonderful. There is also a restaurant which serves good food at a reasonable price, unlike some of the other restaurants in the town. I have no hesitation in fully recommending this lovely little hotel. It made my stay in Bodrum!
- Oya (10/5): Tavsiye edilir.. - Çok merkezi, yürüyerek her yere gitmek mümkün.. Kahvaltı açık büfe, güzel. Yeni yapılan odada kaldık, oda ve banyo çok genişti.Personelin ilgisi de tatmin ediciydi. Sadece birkaç kez kapı kartı çalışmadı, sistem değişikliği yapılmış, geçici bir problemdi sanırım.
- siobhan (10/5): Excellent hotel.. - We had a wonderful experience from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. The staff are so friendly,kind and helpful. We had a late flight home and we were able to opt for a late checkout (6pm )for an extra 30euro .. they told us we could have our room for as long as we needed it . The hotel was a minutes walk to bar street/ shops and restaurants.... Can't wait to return
- Nourai (9/5): -
- judithwZ4105LG (8/5): Great location - The hotel is in an excellent location, five minutes walk to the beach and restaurants, and handy for the shops. Ten minutes walk to the bus station and market, and ten minutes to the castle and the marina.
Our room was lovely, obviously recently refurbished, with a very modern bathroom and free air-con ( in November, anyway)
Our room faced the pool, which we didn’t use - there were very limited areas in the sun so we just used the beach. It would have been perfect in summer for shade, as the pool is surrounded by buildings, but then I think availability would be the problem!
Excellent choice for breakfast, with omelettes to order - I never asked if menemem was possible but I should have! Only problem in November was a lack of sun so we generally ate inside. We actually ate out for breakfast for the last 3 days as we found a lovely council run restaurant where we could eat cheaply on the beach in the sun - not because of the quality of breakfast at the hotel, just for the temperature and the view. We didn’t try any other meals.
Comfy bed but we had to ask for a second duvet; a double bed with a duvet exactly the same size was no good, but getting a second one wasn’t a problem.
I have a feeling we wouldn’t like the hotel in summer due to noise, but late in the season there was no entertainment, which was perfect. No noise!
We loved the parrot!
We will certainly return out of season.
- Stephen Walne (10/5): Great hotel for a solo traveler on a budget - The location of the hotel is within walking distance of all the major attractions in Bodrum, and the breakfast buffet has a wide selection of food to suit all tastes It can get a little noisy at night so take some earplugs if you are a light sleeper
- Onur (10/5): Memnuniyet - Bodrum merkezinde kalınabilecek en iyi alternatiflerden birisi. Otoparkı mevcut. Her yere yürüme mesafesinde. Çalışanlar ilgili ve temiz bir otel

- sianr696 (10/5): Late getaway - Stayed 11 nights at this hotel and after reading some of the reviews we were a little dubious....So, we were pleasantly surprised when we arrived. Quick check in then shown to our room, we didn't accept the first room as I am not good with stairs. Second room was really small but we coped for the first night then we moved rooms. Our final room was clean and functional, but again really small.
Good well stocked mini bar. Room cleaned every day with fresh towels. Staff all lovely and accommodating especially bar staff, Hassan, Ali and I think Ahmed, they literally could not do enough for you, they were obliging, entertaining and keeping us topped up!" Shake em up"
Food was ok, reasonably priced. Drinks all good and again reasonably priced. Brilliant location for all your needs, small stroll to the beach where they have another bar which you get discount as guests of there hotel.
We will definitely be returning next September but will ask for larger room.....
- GoPlaces10291295102 (4/5): Noisiest hotel ever stayed in - Noisy at night.VERY loud from 10 until 1.30 -2am every night with no soundproofing in rooms whatsoever. Everywhere was smoky. I think we were the only people not smoking including when eating. Original room had mouldy shower and room looked into storage and vibrated with noise from karaoke. Only moved us when we refused to return to original room. Cleaner room but still very noisy. Apartment was cleaned regularly but unless you like very loud bingo and karaoke every night it's not a great place to stay. Only positives were location,very near to beach and centre of Bodrum which was lovely and the beach front area they owned with sunbeds. Can only think the good reviews were from who enjoyed smoking , drinking all day and night and the loud entertainment
- Bakwas17 (6/5): Awful stay never again - The best part of this hotel is its location apart from that nothing else I am afraid. This is a tired looking hotel and needs a lot of attention, the rooms are very dated and old you have to pay for the safe, iron and air conditioning nothing is thrown in. The cleaning is very poor our room was not cleaned regularly despite my reminders and the drains were blocked. The worst thing about this hotel was the bar is open until 2 pm and if you have a room near the bar you will not be able to sleep and if you want a quieter room you have to pay. I will not be returning!
- 384elainel (6/5): Only if it’s a bargain - Great location, close to everything.
Hotel is pleasant. Sunbed situation is dire. Got a bed on the roof terrace one day out of the 7. A couple put their towels down early then came and removed them at 18:30 very annoying. We had a room in 9 block. It was small and very dark. Shower was mainly cold. Breakfast was nice. The hotel is spoilt by the people who smoke everywhere and without consideration to other holiday makers.
We paid very little for this holiday and for that reason I didn’t expect a lot however I wouldn’t return to this hotel but would return to Bodrum.
- StephenH5 (6/5): Great location but - I would not say that this is a 3 star hotel but I would definitely say that it's in a fantastic position, a 2 minute walk to the waterside. The pool is fairly small and it was difficult to get a sunbed, probably impossible in peak season, no shade available it was either full sun or complete shade. Unfortunately during our stay there was a woman who fed the numerous cats, Turkish people are very pet friendly but to allow cat food to be placed all around the breakfast area was a little bit naughty. The room was a reasonable size but the bedding did not fit at all and a request for 2 top covers was the only work around. I would reiterate that despite the hotels issues it is placed in a great location
- LynnF324 (8/5): Lovely stay - A last minute booking at this hotel and we were not disappointed. The only thing I can comment negatively on was the size of our room (610) which while being very modern and nice was very small so much so we had to store our empty cases in our friends' very large room. There wasn't much room to put stuff. That said it was comfy. This hotel has an eclectic collection of stuff all over the hotel and grounds and I like the bicycle tables..and the parrot! The breakfast was very good with a good choice of items. Drinks at the bar were also very good and Hasan (I thinks os his name) is just great. All the staff were friendly and efficient. The pool was lovely but sunbeds around the pool few and taken mostly by 6.30am! The sun terrace is a good relaxing space with step access to the pool. All in all a very nice hotel and will be back in the hope of a bigger room next time 😉
- 648lisbethj (10/5): Nice stay as usual - Hotel Istankoj is a small charming hotel with very nice and helpful staff .We ate in the restaurant three times what was nice ( burgers are super ! ) we stayed this time in the back building (ground floor room ) what was very quiet indeed .This was our fifth stay in this hotel same as many others what must speak volumes for management and staff of this hotel ( met a lady who told us she has been coming to this hotel for the last 26 years ) and the nice Miss Carol who comes twice a year ( same as us ) . Thank you to staff and management
- mp3ger (10/5): My home in Bodrum - Wonderful hotel vey close to the beach, bars, and restaurants. The food is first class. Beautiful cocktails. The staff are extremely friendly and efficient. The castle and marina are only a short walk away. I have visited regularly over the past seven years, and already booked for May 2025.
- Jamie4773 (6/5): Nice stay except for the smokers - We had a nice week in Bodrum. The hotel is in a great location right in the town centre. Was nice when we arrived at 1am to have the bar still open so we could relax with a beer after a long journey. Prices for drinks were good too. It was clean and we were lucky to have a room that wasn't overlooking the bar area so it was nice and quiet although the walls/floors are not very soundproof so we could hear all the noises from the toilet next door. We were offered aircon (at additional cost) which we took and this is probably why we got the better room, however it didn't work properly so after 2 engineer visits we told them to give up and we didn't pay for it.
The main negative was the other guests who whilst mostly polite looked like retired criminals and were constantly smoking. It was impossible to enjoy breakfast outside without someone lighting up on the next table. To be fair this was pretty common all round Bodrum and it seems most of the English people there just go on holiday to smoke for a week, but it would be nice to be able to enjoy my breakfast without smokers everywhere. The pool is a bit cramped and it feels like going for a swim in the middle of a pub. We had a nice week there but probably wouldn't stay there again
- allanc407 (10/5): Back home - Just spent 2 weeks in our home from home. Once again everything was top notch,From Erhan the manager down to the cleaners they went out their way to help you no matter what you needed.
Centrally located the hotel is minutes from the beach, shops, restaurants etc
Even a 24hr supermarket across the road.
Met some special friends,Andrea n Paul,the London gels(Tina,Pauline and Kath)nutters.haha..Col from north Ormesby.
The Staff who we class as friends ERHAN,HASSAN,BEDRI, ALI and TAHMED(Besiktas)and a special mention for SONER now manager at the hotels bar on the beach who is missed from the hotel hopefully back next year.
See you all again next year can't wait.
- Johanna (4/5): - Easy location to the rest of the town My room was really small. No space real to be able to sensibly open and access my case.
I had to push the bed close to the fridge to make space for it at the other side of the bed, and get on/off the bed by shuffling off the end.
Previous room had plenty of space for open suitcase (plus case table) and I was able to easily move around the room for the same price.

- renato (8/5): - Staff molto disponibile, buona posizione, ottimo ristorante. Stanza troppo piccola e buia. Prezzo un po troppo alto. Colazione sufficiente.
- Tolga (8/5): Fijn verblijf in hartje Bodrum - Appartement was groot.
Locatie.
Personeel. Appartement verouderd.
Wasmachine en gasfornuis niet aangesloten.
- Veronika (8/5): -
- Gulcan (8/5): - Location was excellent, rooms very clean and modern. Beds comfortable. Staff were helpful. Needs upgrade near pool area and restaurant but i can not fault the premises.
- Alisan (6/5): - Es ist hauptsächlich für Leute gedacht, dessen Budget begrenzt ist.
Man ist in einer Touristen Hochburg. Die Preise sind halt dementsprechend angepasst.
- Ali (6/5): - Very small rooms
- Willian (8/5): - Konum, hizmet, temizlik harika,
Kahvaltı mekanı biraz daha iyi olabilir
- Sibel (8/5): - Bei Engländern beliebtes Hotel. Bis 2 Uhr nachts ist Action an der Bar im Innenhof, bei uns war es Bingo und Karaoke und natürlich Musik. Die Fenster sind leider nicht schallgedämmt, so dass man alles mitbekommt, wenn man ein Zimmer Richtung Innenhof hat. Die anderen Gäste fanden das Angebot anscheinend gut. Wir waren nur 2 Nächte dort und waren viel draußen unterwegs, da war das für uns erträglich.
Das Personal ist freundlich, wenn man Beanstandungen hat, werden diese sofort versucht abzustellen.
Das Zimmer war sauber, wie so oft fehlt typisch türkisch das Auge für das Detail bei den Fliesen, der Duschwanne etc, aber das hat uns nicht gestört und es hat alles funktioniert.
Das Frühstück ist auch gut.
Es gibt keinen wirklichen hoteleigenen Parkplatz, aber einen Parkservice, der das Auto hinter dem Hotel in der Straße parkt. Das war für uns OK, für andere, die ihr Auto nicht aus der Hand geben wollen aber vielleicht ein guter Hinweis.
Am Pool waren wir nicht, natürlich gibt es wie überall zu wenig Liegen, welche gleich morgens um 7 schon mit Handtüchern reserviert werden. Es gibt dafür auch eine Sonnenterrasse über der Bar.
- HASMET (6/5): Bayram tatili - Sezon için inşaat yapılıyordu hemde bayram tatili süresince, oda yalıtımları iyi değildi yan ve üstten rahatsız edici gürültüler oldu , hizmet ve çalışanlar iyiydi, kahvaltı orta karardı. Otapark bayağı küçüktü ama çalışanlar yardımcı idiler. Konum olarak da iyiydi Çıkışta extra almayıp istediğiniz zaman çıkabilirsiniz demeleri olumluydu…Tşkl
- Angus (10/5): Excellent hotel and price - Excellent hotel, very comfortable rooms, lovely breakfast!

- Jeffrey (10/5): Great location - This hotel was a veritable surprise to me. It’s well situated and very convenient to everything around. The staff is pleasant and the rooms were clean. I had a good night sleep and that’s basically all I need when I’m traveling.
- Gesa Philine (8/5): - Wir waren sehr positiv überrascht. Für den Preis war das Hotel wirklich gut. Die Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich, die Zimmer waren in einem sehr guten Zustand und auch sauber. Die Anlage ist für die Innenstadt-Lage recht wirklich großzügig. Alles in allem empfehlenswert.
- Nait (10/5): -
- Anna Louise (8/5): - I was pleased with my stay . My original room was a bit small so I asked for a new room and they kindly gave me another room without any problem. The front desk was professional and friendly . The breakfast is good with lots of choices (for Turkey) . I would stay again .
- Alain (1/5): Unfortunately, the entire experience left unsatisfied.I only reserved three days so I could chill and enjoy my vacation - Location only

- qanco (7/5): - Otelin merkezi konumu ve ücretsiz otopark imkanı sunması çok güzeldi, ayrıca kahvaltısını da beğendik. Giriş yaptığımız gün odamızdaki nevresim takımlarının değiştirilmedigini fark ettik, gece 01:30 gibi yatmaya geldigimizden o saatte kendimiz değiştirmek zorunda kaldık ve yeni getirilen takımlarda hala nemliydiler üstüne ayrıca havlu sererek uyuduk. Sonraki günlerde temizlik konusunda bir sorun olmadı, her talep ettiğimizde temizlik yapıldı o yüzden ilk günkü aksiliğe çok takılmadık. Odalarda çamaşır kurutma imkanı olmadığından ortak terastaki sandalyeleri kullanmak zorunda kaldık.klima çok verimli ve sağlıklı çalışmıyordu. odada bakım ve onarım gerektiren bazı esyalar vardı mesela dolabın biri kırıktı ve kapaklar sağlıklı çalışmıyordu.banyodaki havlu askısı da öyle bir sekilde yerine yerlestirip kullanabildik ama.
