Disappointing Stay – Would Not Recommend We arrived in Bodrum full of excitement, but our experience at this hotel turned out to be deeply disappointing. Arrival Experience
From the moment we stepped in, the reception was not welcoming. No greeting and no useful information. No explaining the hotel. Room Conditions
The room was a letdown. The door was difficult to open, (almost broking our nails) and the space felt cramped. The bathroom was not clean—bathrobes were stained, and the sheets were scratchy. The overall hygiene and comfort were well below expectations. Communication with Staff
It was difficult to communicate with the staff, as very few spoke English. Asking for even simple things became a challenge. Breakfast
The breakfast was minimal and disappointing for the price. There was no buffet or variety—just one small, basic meal. Definitely not what you’d expect from a hotel in this price range. Beach Access
We were shocked to find that the nicest part of the beach was reserved for the owner’s family and friends. Regular guests were made to feel like unwelcome in those areas. Overwhelming Chlorine Smell Our room had such an overpowering chlorine smell that it was completely uninhabitable. We couldn’t sleep or even stay inside, as the odor was so intense it could be smelled from outside the room. With no real solution offered, we ended up spending hours outside at night in our pajamas! Staff attempted to mask the smell with room spray, which only helped briefly. Eventually, we were forced to sleep in the room and woke up surrounded by the same strong chemical smell. The next day, they moved us to a different room, but offered no apology, no compensation, and simply claimed it wasn’t their fault. The entire situation left us feeling completely helpless and ignored. It was unacceptable. Housekeeping Issues
After cleaning, our room door was left wide open. When we raised the issue, the staff dismissed it, saying the cleaners “would close it.” They didn’t. Handling of Complaints
We brought up all of these concerns with the staff, but nothing changed. We were brushed off repeatedly and felt like our feedback didn’t matter. Staff Behavior
In general, the staff lacked professionalism. They were unfriendly, and in the restaurant, we experienced inappropriate and uncomfortable comments. Cat calling us. This created an unpleasant atmosphere throughout our stay. Unsafe Transportation
When we requested a taxi, we were told none were available after waiting 1 hour. Instead, they arranged a “private driver,” who appeared to be a friend of the hotel. She was texting while driving, making us feel unsafe during the ride and putting us in serious risk. Final Thoughts
This hotel did not deliver on even basic hospitality standards. We paid a premium expecting a relaxing, quality vacation, but instead we received poor service, discomfort, and disrespect. Unless you're personally connected to the owner, don’t expect to be treated as a valued guest. Ou
