The Marmara Bodrum

Lovely hotel - plus points - beautiful quiet pool round the back, though in late May no-one had fixed the steps to the pool, we found them and seemed to fix them in ok ourselves, but we shouldn't have had to. Great views from all areas. Lovely room. Cleaners very thorough and our lady was extremely pleasant. Negatives - 6 SMALL bottles of beer cost us £64!!!!! We had guessed they might be expensive, but not THAT expensive! Service at the bar was poor. We had to go up to the bar ourselves every time, despite others being served at their tables. There were weddings on two of the nights we stayed, noisy guests in the corridors. Make sure you check if this is happening if you're staying over a weekend. That said, it's still very nice, just be aware of the bar prices!

Food delightful, A+, including breathtaking sunset view. Spa massage with Sinan, incredible. Inexpensive taxi ride into town. Fun eclectic artwork. Live music duo, maybe only weekends? Only negatives for us - the $22.00 bottle of sparkling water and no coffee in room.

The Gem of Bodrum. Absolutely unique hotel in Bodrum, on top of a hill overlooking the city. Incredible views. It’s only 5 minutes away from the Marina but a great experience to be a bit away from the crazy action. Their restaurant Tuti is Michelin recommended- it’s amazing with the great views. The Hammam is great and the gym has the best views in Bodrum while working out. The bar is fabulous as is their gorgeous pool. But the highlight of this hotel is their staff. They are all warm, kind and generous. They are here to make your stay unforgettable. I was lucky enough to stay there several nights and it felt like home by the time I left. I had my birthday celebration while I stayed there- and they made it extra special with a gorgeous cake and bottle of wine for me. I will never forget my experience staying here.

Our first visit to Bodrum and so happy to have stayed at the Marmara. Without exception all the staff were friendly & efficient; nothing was too much trouble - in the absence of a business centre, they even put a table & chair in a function room when I needed to make a business Teams call unexpectedly one evening. The breakfast buffet was extensive, varied & of good quality and there was plenty of space inside & out on the terrace to enjoy it. Our only regret being that we only stayed 3 days; on our next visit we will stay longer.

💎✨🎈We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the entire --The Marmara Bodrum-- family, especially Mr. Gökhan Toygar, the Front Office Manager, for making this one of the most beautiful holidays of our lives. We were truly happy throughout our stay thanks to the wonderful, spotlessly clean rooms that offered the comfort and warmth of a home, and to the knowledgeable, attentive, respectful, and exceptional staff. We will remember this experience with deep gratitude.🌼 Their kindness and genuine care not only for our own pets 🐈😻 but for all the animals around the hotel meant a great deal to us. 🌸Thank you sincerely for everything!
