Hotel Gulec is in a great location. Rooms are simple and very clean. The man who runs the place speaks English very well but he's grumpy and pushy. When we arrived, he put us in the hotel across the street (which is a different hotel entirely) without any choice and charged us the same rate. At breakfast, which is in a very nice little courtyard, we struggled to get any service after the plates were put on our table, which was disappointing given the service we'd received elsewhere. We booked a room for one night a week after our first stay and then decided not to stay in Bodrum. We arrived to cancel our reservation and were not given back our deposit of 30 turkish lira. In fairness, the policy is no refund for cancellation less than 72 hours prior but we came by 60 hours before our reservation time and the manager was quite gruff and rude to us. Great location but not impressed with the manager, who is the person interacting with the public the most. In addition, we were only able to get wifi in the lobby and thus were subject to sitting under the gaze of the grumpy manager while online.
You can find better value for your money elsewhere.
Room Tip: You might want to check whether the manager is actually going to put you up in the hotel as we were...

Dear Guest,
We showed you the rooms and you said “OK” For breakfast service, you had in our beautiful garden.You certainly booked once again after your departure, and came back. Why did you prefer our place again, then? For “sitting under the gaze... while online”, the wi-fi didn’t work,because of a problem with their laptop, the laptop could receive the signal at the lobby.In our opinion, the sole issue was the deposit. The amount of the deposit was the half price of nightly rate. How could we refund, later than the cancellation deadline? You say it was late. How come we keep our hotel against such cancellations. Those were the busiest days of the season for real.
Thank you for your comment, anyway.
