“Its rather bad, its makes it funny!!”

As a family of four we arrived at around 2am, the hotel entrance was beautiful. We where then taken out of the hotel to our room... down lots of steps (no light o guide us). Our room was right next to the delivery entrance, we had two rooms which had two single beds and just enough room to move either side. One had no electric, both had no air con, and no water - could'nt even flush the toilet. There where bugs crawling in and out of both room, so we had to sleep with the door open and duvets over our entier bodies so we didnt get walked over by bugs. We then asked for some water to be brought to our room, still being arounf 25 degrees at the time we where told we had to pay 4lira for small bottles of water.
We where here for two weeks, and we told reception that this wasnt the room we booked etc and where told that we had to pay to move rooms (the reception manager is very arrogant and feels its hassle to help anyone).

We waited until we had a meeting with the rep to bring this up, low and behold 85% of guests in the meeting complained about the standards.The rep told us that all the information given to us was wrong, Thomson had really old information and used the wrong paperwork/system for our booking. We where only being moved room if we signed a form saying we wouldnt complain about the hotel and Thomson or write bad reviews, luckily we got our room and avoided her so we didnt sign anything!! So, after the 1st week we got to move rooms to a much nicer cleaner room! Although we had some sort of flea/tick in the rooms we sucked it up and got on with it.

We went on a safari on one of the days, so naturally ordered packed luches for four people. When we went to collect this we where given 3 ham rolls, when we asked where the 4th one was we were told 'the chef forgot sorry'...

General clenilieness varies, some aresa are immaculate some are not so much. My daughter was ill one day so stayed in the room. The housekeeper came to clean the room and she tunred the sheet over and tucked i back in. I get that they probabaly had a full hotel but its 40 degrees and sweaty nights!!!!!

The entertainment boys are really good, activities throughout the day etc. The childrens entertainement is a bit weird, a young blonde girl dressed to go out clubbing (boobs & bum out) dancing around singing childrens songs. The veiws are amazing, and food is good as long as your not fussy. I advise everyone to have a Turkish bath this sets your up for the tanning, especially as its 40 degrees out there!!

Room Tip: Either get a room in the hotel or closest to the hotel!!

“Could not fault it!”

It upsets me that many people are critical and lack appreciation for this hotel. It's by far the best holiday I've ever had. 3 different pools, gorgeous reception area, stunning views, clubs, restaurants and bars practically on the doorstep and the staff were beyond amazing. Granted, there are many steps but you get used to it by the 2nd night! The food is what you expect on holiday and to me it was brilliant! Entertainment is available if you get involved! We arrived in the early hours and were attended to straight away and shown our rooms. The air conditioning didnt work at first but we rang reception and it was fixed within 10 minutes. To all those people who can appreciate the beauty this place offers, it is a lovely hotel and I'd recommend it to everyone! Cant wait to go back :)

Had a wonderful time at the Art Bodrum Hotel, After a long trip from Istanbul, our family was tired and restless, we were given great service upon entry and continued great service with the duration of our stay. The food was graet - a lot of choice. The only downfall was the steps- I always seem to get lost. Apart from the steps, the Hotel is well maintained and clean. I would recommend this hotel to everyone. Cheers.

Room Tip: Stay close to reception. to avoid the steps.

“ok but definately not 4star”

my partner and I were origionally staying in another hotel (club shark) only to be told just a week before travelling that we had been moved to art bodrum due to the club shark closing for the winter. When we were showed to our room it was awful. It was really small, dark, dirty, no air con or heater, thin dirty sheets on the 2 single beds (we had booked a double room) there was a hole in the bathroom door, grime in the shower, loose flush on toilet and leaking shower. We went to the reception to complain and asked to be moved, the staff were very rude and didn't speak much english. We were told (in few words) that the larger rooms (in the hotel) were booked up til the next day. We spent 1 night in that room and that was enough. The next morning we went to complain again and eventually got moved to a bigger room inside thehotel, this room was lovely. Food is very hit and miss, sometimes you went and it was ok and others it was inedible! We went out to eat quite a lot. Snacks were cake and biscuits (not my idea of snacks). The views from the hotel are gorgeous. I would recommend the turkish bath in the hotel. Entertainment is practically non-existant (music playing). All in all we didn't have a bad holiday but this hotel is definately not 4star for accommodation or food!

Room Tip: get a room inside the hotel, not one near the pools
