Independent, Bodrum Hotels

hospitable staff .. central location .. good breakfast .. very clean room and swimming pool .. nice people and nice city .. what can I say anymore? thanks a lot to hotel centro ...

Melis Pansiyon is very clean and comfortable accomodation close to the port and bazaars of Bodrum. Ideal for a night or two before embarking on a ferry to the Greek Islands. Our host assisted us to organise the return of a rental car and to enable us to print off e-tickets which we had booked since leaving home. Breakfast was fresh and adequate.

We arrived at 11.30pm and were greeted by a friendly helpful team who took our bags to the room. Room was clean with no issues. We are on holiday to relax and enjoy our time,if you look for problems no doubt you will find them, but everything was fine for us.the manager made a point of saying if we had any issues just speak to him and he would sort them, we never needed to raise any issues.Breakfast was very good, bar prices cheaper than local bars, dinner was as we expected with Turkish offerings, fine for the 4 of us, but we also ate out locally which also was very good.if you want a central location that offers great value, look no further than the bodrum nova vela hotel.

Very nice little boutique hotel (ie not all the bells and whistles of a big chain hotel and a few excuses too as a result) but ideal for a short stay with very enthusiastic staff. It's more suited to dealing with Turkish clients but they really want more Brits, and USA and Europeans and very eager to please as a result. Ibrahim, the manager, is really good to deal with especially if you want anything special. For instance, he went to great length, discounts and freebies to retain our custom for evening meals as we were a party of 21. Anything is negotiable but you just have to ask. One criticism is that there are not enough sun beds on the beach when the hotel is full but there are lots more on the adjacent sites and there is no charge if you buy your drinks and snacks from them as opposed to Costa Blu. Best rooms have a sea view and balcony but be sure to ask them to turn on the solar hot water for the shower. Overall a really prefect hotel for our needs after a one week sailing gulet holiday and a perfect end.

The hotel only replaces towels every three days and you can't take towels from the room to the swimming pool. Dinner is included with the room, but anything you drink is extra. WiFi internet connection is not reliable.

Excellent location, good value

I arrived to find friendly and attentive staff. The hotel looks very new; clean and modern.
