I had previously searched TA and found that this hotel seemed to be a good choice but a bit on the pricey side for my budget - however a search with last minute.com and travel republic brought up much cheaper charges and I got a night's stay in a double room B&B for £56. We were the only guests that we saw (immediately post Turkish holidays so very quiet everywhere) but the staff were courteous and helpful and the room was well equipped. The Tempur mattresses and pillows were a real treat after a couple of nights that we had spent previously at a pansiyon which had mattresses from pre-history. Breakfast was ample - the usual Turkish fare -with a few nods to a continental style as well. As we had a car, the location out of town wasn't an issue for us - the road is quiet and so for us it was a good choice. It would have been lovely to stay for a few days longer but schedules just didn't allow for that. However, I would happily stay there again (for the right price) next time we visit Bodrum.

Small 52 room boutique hotel. Rooms a bit small as are the bathrooms but big enought to put an extra fold out bed for our daughter. Our first room had been heavily smoked in so we asked to change to a non smoking room which they did without fuss, however I think the hotel was quite quiet at the time. Apart from the carpet being a bit below par the room was clean & comfortable. Service was friendly and helpful. The pool area very pleasant with towels put out on all the loungers. Breakfast was fresh with good choice. We did not eat dinner at the hotel so cant comment on that. We found a good deal with travel republic but I would not pay they full rate on their own website to stay here. Spa facilities looked fine. No tea/coffee facilities in room.

I stayed here for 2 weeks, choosing this hotel after much research. My priorities in picking a hotel were location (15 mins or less walk to centre of Bodrum and Gumbet), modern rooms and great pool area. This hotel has all that and I didn't see many others that could say the same.

Rooms

The only downside here was the size, there is not a lot of space but that said you are not squeezing round the bed either so they are big enough, but I guess it depends how much time you spend in the room as to how important this is. The bed was large and was very comfy with great pillows. The room was modern and the bathroom was clean with nice fittings and a good range of complimentary toilettries. Bathrobes and slippers were complimentary which was a nice touch. Not a massive amount of storage space but we took two large cases and had no problems. Free safe in the room. Aircon was very effective and could be left on while you were not in the room which was good since it was 36 degrees every day!

Pool

Just perfect. Plenty of room no real need to reserve beds and this did not go on that much. Sunbeds were great and there were plenty of large umberellas. You can be in the sun pretty much all day. Pool large enough for a swim.

Food

We went bed and breakfast so can't comment on evening meal but the breakfast was good. Cereals, toast, salad, yoghurt, fruit, hot food, pancakes etc. The selection of pastries could have been better. You could eat inside or by the pool.

Location

Very good location for both Bodrum and Gumbet although it did take us a while to get to grips with where to go. Gumbet is no more than a 5-10 min walk. Turn left out of the hotel (do ask for directions or email me if you book a trip as we are generally good with getting around but we did spend the first few nights walking the long way round!). Gumbet is more of a tourist resort than Bodrum. It has the usual souvenir shops and more tacky bars than Bodrum but in September we found that it was not too busy and the prices of eating out were reasonable.

Bodrum is a 15 minute walk in the opposite direction. We found it best to turn right out of the hotel and head to the main road then get on a dolmus. This cost about 3 lira (about £1.20) and took 5 mins to get to the main centre. I loved Bodrum, it has a great mix of authentic Turkish kebap places where you can eat for a few pounds and then the marina has some more up market restaurants. There is a good mix of souvenir/tourist shops and designer shops. It is a large town and even though we had 2 weeks we could have stayed for another two and still not seen it all.

Prices

As people have mentioned in other reviews, the prices of food and drink in the hotel are high. This is really the only negative I have to say. A 2L bottle of water cost 6 lira at the bar but at the shop down the road it was 1 lira. On the plus side the hotel did not stop anyone taking their own water in and we drank this round the pool so it was not a problem. 2 ice creams came to about £8! We had lunch a couple of times. It cost about £20 for 2 pizzas and 2 cokes but the rest of the time we went out of the hotel. There are cafes and mcdonalds etc nearby so something for everyone.

Overall I would say ths hotel is excellent as it ticked all of the boxes for me. I would go back to Bodrum and I would definately stay at this hotel again.

We booked with lowcostholidays and it was significantly cheaper than elsewhere.

We are regular visitors of Bodrum but we usually stay at my boyfriend's house. This year the house was in construction so we had to stay at Bodrium Boutique Resort. Let me just say this hotel is extremely clean. The rooms aren't gigantic, but they aren't tiny either. The beds and pillows are Tempur (which are extremely comfy times ten). The sheets are spotless, silky white. There are 2 bathrobes and 2 bathtowels, plus 2 hand towels per room. There are toiletries in each room such as cinnamon soap, toothbrush kit, q tips, cotton pads, shaving kit, etc. Each room has a tiny balcony with chairs and a gorgeous pool view. The pool is beautifully designed and very clean. Even the sunloungers at the pool area are comfortable, and a clean towel is waiting for you on each sunlounger.

Bodrum has an abundance of great restaurants and I would advise you to eat out for dinner, but if you must the food at the hotel is quite good. Breakfast is perfect with plenty to choose from, freshly squeezed orange juice, good coffee.

The location is very close to a huge Migros (supermarket) and Oasis Shopping Center, which has many stores and a pharmacy. Central Bodrum (Bodrum Marina) is very easy to access from Gumbet and only takes about 10 minutes by minibus.

Unfortunately I haven't used the spa, but my boyfriend's mother, who usually has very high standards, has - every single day during her stay there. She speaks very highly of it.
