Hotels near Bodrum Maritime Museum, Bodrum

A wonderful, even exquisite hotel in the center of Bodrum. Cleanliness, newness and quality of the rooms, hospitality, transportation etc. are all very good. Normally I don't bother to sit down and write, but such hotel management deserves applause and congratulations. I looked at the comments and found it and booked a room. This hotel has nothing more or less than anything else. Well done to the owners and good work.

Our 15th year stying at this hotel and it’s still as amazing as the 1st year. Very friendly staff that we class as friends, special thanks to Mahmut and Zeliah, lovely to see Zeliah again and a pleasure to be introduced to Mahmut. The rooms are very clean and have everything you need for your stay, Meals at Big Chef were very nice, the pool is great and the sun loungers are very comfortable, there is a supermarket just across the road and a little coffee shop that we also like to visit. Looking forward to going back next year.

This hotel has a lot going for it; incredible view over the city and old castle, impeccably attentive staff, delicious food and excellent amenities. A few items we found not meeting the high quality we expected from a Small Luxury Hotels of the World and Hyatt Regency partner was some things that were lacking. The landscaping was a bit underwhelming and I saw many ****s. The pool area is subjected to the city street noise and multiple sirens go by hourly. There was also a hotel or bar playing music so loud that drifted up the hill to the hotel. They play the pool music fairly loud at the Mamara to mask it. Not great if you are wanting to relax or nap by the pool. Also, our AC would not cool our room. We had to sleep with our ground floor slider open. We called for repair and no one showed up for three hours before we left for the pool, which as someone else mentioned, was quite cool. (Maybe because it’s early May???) I’m glad we are using points to pay for the room rather than out of pocket. We are the highest level of Hyatt Regency and they told us they were upgrading us from garden view to sea view. Ummm, barely. Only if you sit out on the patio and look between two buildings.

Stayed for 10 nights on April in a deluxe sea view room, and we loved it. rooms are very large well equipped and views are incredible across Gumbet bay. Very clean, Great beds and bathroom, Found the staff to be very helpful, We enjoyed the pool area which is lovely and never busy, so had it to ourselves the few days we relaxed there. Bear in mind you are at the top of a steep hill when staying here (both down to Gumbet and Bodrum) but it was not an issue (there are taxi stations at the bottom of both sides and a taxi up the hill is £2 if you are feeling lazy. This is an amazing location to explore lovely Bodrum and Gumbet so definitely recommend. Very reasonable too!

So the good points… The location is great. A 10 minute drive down to the main area where there’s plenty of shops and bars spread across the marina. The beach is lovely. The water is nice and clean and plenty of beds for you to spend the day in the sun having fun 😎 The view is spectacular. The most amazing scenes especially at night when the town is lit up. So picturesque. The bed is very comfortable and the rooms are a good size. The staff on the beach do a great job keeping it clean and tidy. Unfortunately, that’s probably about it for the good points. Bad points… The drinks are awful. The sodas are flat and warm, the cocktails are absolutely shocking. The mojito should be removed from the menu as not 1 person knows how to make one. The rooms are ok but it’s the cleanliness, it’s bad. We stayed for 5 nights and not one was out floor cleaned, the shower and sink left unclean the whole time, bed was made daily but they never changed the sheets. Not once. The room was dirty when we checked in. Not a great start to the holiday. Most days the rooms was never even looked at so I had to keep asking for it to be cleaned. (Not that it was cleaned to anyone’s standard) The mini bar and coffee was never replenished. Had to constantly ask for stuff. Very frustrating. The staff are not that friendly bar maybe 2 or 3. They basically serve you once they’ve finished their conversations amongst themselves. Almost make you feel uncomfortable. What’s also frustrating is that not many speak any English. Now, I’m fully aware that I’m in their country and maybe it’s wrong for me to be frustrated but given you’ve opened your doors for the English speaking consumers, you would expect the staff to atleast understand what drink you’re asking for on the English written menu. The security guy who props himself up at the bar is very rude and aggressive. But I’ll be taking that further on a different platform. The lift to take you from the hotel down to the pool area is constantly out of use meaning you’ll need to walk up and down 100s of steep steps. Not what you want to be doing in 38c heat. The food isn’t great. Not awful but just bad quality. I didn’t eat there much but maybe it was just an off day. The air conditioning in the room is awful. Might as well not even have it turned on. Room still hot when it’s been left on all day. The hotel could be made so much better given its location but unfortunately, I don’t think the staff care too much about their customer’s complaints or concerns. Would I stay again? Probably not. And that’s unfortunate as you would book a holiday inn given its worldwide reputation but unfortunately, the standard at this hotel doesn’t match. But if you’re looking for somewhere for the location and a beach day, the hotel would be perfect for you. Some issues can be forgiven but there seems to be more negative than good. But with a few changes it really could be a lovely hotel. The issues are more to do with the s

The hotel itself is located in a convenient location and it is very close to the beach. The rooms are clean and the view is amazing! The staff are incredibly friendly and can speak English fluently. They were very helpful providing us with an itinerary of things we could do! Overall a great experience!

Ter temiz başkaca söze gerek yok. Ben odayi görünce müdür Soner beye hemen teşekküre gittim. Ailemle burada çok mutluyuz, çünkü ilk gün den yorum yapıyorum. Buraya gelmek isteyenler tereddüt etmeden gelebilir. Yeterli miktarda temiz mutfak eşyası mecvut, tanitim resimlerinde görünenin aynısı hatta canlı görünüm daha güzel. Bodrum da tatil benim için Maison 48. Seneye yine geleceğim inşallah şimdiden plan yapmaya başladım. Daha fazla foto eklerdim ama bizim eşyalarımız var.

For us, it was really wonderful here! We were given a warm welcome and very good advice! The whole team is extremely well selected and does a great job! The whole ambience, the view, the furnishings, everything is of very high quality and aesthetic. Everywhere you meet friendly and genuinely helpful staff who obviously all feel at home here! It's not a package holiday either! All the places we wanted to visit were easily accessible by taxi from here! We were also picked up by shuttle bus and taken on an unforgettable boat tour and then brought back to the Doria Hotel in the evening! We were completely happy and satisfied with our holiday here! We would love to come here again and again!

This is the most incredible hotel. The setting is the beautiful Ortakent beach, away from the crowded and crazy Bodrum town and with much cleaner water. The hotel has direct access to the beach plus a fabulous pool. The staff were amazing - so attentive to everything and great with our kids. There are so many great dining options along the beach in easy walking distance, but the food was SO good at the hotel we ended up eating there every night. All the meals - kids, pool dining, vegetarian options, and particularly the breakfast - were so delicious. The quality of service, the fit out, the luxury feel of the restaurant spaces and the beach setting would all match anything at a 5 star resort, but you get the exclusivity of a boutique hotel with a much smaller number of guests and access to shops and other restaurants. From what we observed, this is the best hotel in Ortakent, and Ortakent is one of the most beautiful spots in Bodrum.
