The Marmara Bodrum

Great hotel! Awesome location for getting to all the best Bodrum spots. The staff could not be more helpful, lovely, considerate! They were really amazing. Felt like they were family by the time we left. Very good end to a great trip to stunning Turkish riviera. Also Delicious food!!

The view is just breathtaking. The breakfast is 😋 delicious, we didn’t need to eat lunch infact. The pool is cool. The rooms are large with tiny balconies. 11:30-17:30 the shuttle takes you to flammbeach in golturkbuku complimentary beach club. It was about 400 USD per day for 2 people (*price may vary), reasonable for its offerings and silent luxury style. Everything is well thought out for you. We might stay there again on our next trip.

Writing this review is truly difficult, because the seven days we spent there were so wonderful that I don’t think there are words, or enough stars to express how highly I recommend this hotel. Everything, absolutely everything, was a 10: the room, the warm welcome at reception, the staff, the breakfast, the views, the pool, the gym, the cleanliness, and the care of the outdoor areas… we had a beautiful room, with a huge balcony, overlooking the sea and Bodrum city centre. The million-dollar question: would we come back? Yes: both my husband and I are absolutely sure that if we return to Bodrum, we wouldn’t even consider staying anywhere else. Our warmest regards to the entire team who made our holiday so special. With love from Spain, Carlota & Thomas

The most beautiful sanctuary. It was complete peace with stunning views over Bodrum and the castle. Being atop of the hill, enjoying a freshly prepared breakfast with soft, carefully curate background music, this was a truly luxurious experience, presented effortlessly. The front of house team were incredibly welcoming, yet non-invasive and made me feel at ease as a solo traveller. It felt more like a large home, with such a boutique sense of detail and luxury, with magnificent landscaped greenery and garden views from my room. Will definitely visit again with my husband. Thank you for such a calming and peaceful stay.

We were there for 9 days. From the first day, the manager Gokhan Toygar upgraded us to a corner suite. He was throughout the time very gracious, polite and utterly sweet. Can’t thank him enough and made our stay so special. The staff goes out of their way to please you and the service was impeccable. We are returning in September and can’t wait to see all of them again. The bed is comfortable, the room looks out to the whole of Bodrum especially the Bodrum Castle. Special place indeed.

Fabulous hotel with a wonderful view over Bodrum. Staff were all amazing and nothing was to much for them to make your stay outstanding. Many thanks to the manager along with Gokhen Gsemen Esra and Con... but all staff great. Would highly recommend as a place to stay!

Once you arrive you won’t want to leave! We originally booked for one night, and stayed for five The views from this hotel are amazing. The staff is so helpful and the breakfast is the best! Gokhan was extremely helpful We will be back again for sure

gorgeous hotel, food was to die for and the staff were all actual angels. spa was perfect, prices were pretty good in my opinion and the staff are super attentive. i got bought bottled water constantly, they all spoke perfect english and the complimentary breakfast is the best i’ve ever had. get the passion fruit spicy cocktail and the octopus casserole- not to mention how the whole place looks like an art gallery, and the rooms are super comfy and spacious

Just got back from a Turkey trip and this hotel was amazing! Great food, clean rooms, smells amazing like a spa throughout the hotel (I'm someone who is sensitive to perfume smells and it doesn't even trigger headaches!!), polite staff, and the SPA. I have had the world's best massage there by Siman. I am very picky when it comes to massages and he is not only knowledgeable without you having to list out all your ailments, but also very kind and is strong enough to break down some serious knots! The only reason I'm deducting a star is because the AC/heating system doesn't seem to really work well. My room stayed relatively warm when I had it cranked down to the lowest setting, but it was tolerable enough to sleep at night. I just prefer slightly crisper.

Okay so I've been here for a few days now and wanted to update my previous review. The food and drinks here are expensive but REALLY good. The breakfast (included in hotel cost) is amazing. You can ask them to bring you eggs however you like. They have an excellent selection of unique Turkish eats (jams, breads, cheeses, etc) and the coffee is good. We have eaten at this hotel a few times and I'd have to say that it's the best food I've had in Bodrum. The only reason I didn't give this hotel 5 stars is because the night life is non-existent and everything is very pricy. BUT... I would stay here again.

One of the best hotels in Bodrum, with a great panorama of the town and the castle from a high ground. The rooms are well decorated, the spa is fantastic. If you get the garden suite rooms you'll have your own patio and garden with the views. Swimming pool is spacious. The restaurant has some good meals and service. Breakfast is good but unfortunately I can't say it's rich, very standard! They don't accept any children in the hotel so this is not for families, just for your info.

3 star service at a 5 star price. Pros; - amazing view - good breakfast - good pool Cons: - Adult only means no children under 12. You will not be spared teenagers doing cannonballs. - The 'private beach' is actually a shuttle ride to a shared beach club facility. There is no beach there, just a wooden jetty and lawn with chairs. There are only 3 shuttles there and back during the day. - The pool chairs at the hotel are ridiculously uncomfortable. - The prices are a ripoff even by resort standards. 16 TL for a coke? - The hotel tells you not to drink the tap water. They instead offer 2 small bottles of free water (330 ml each) per room, per day. You can buy more water at 9 Tl for 750 mL. This is obscene. If you can't provide safe water to drink, charging requires a certain level of gall. - The staff service in the restaurant and pool side is atrocious. You will find staff lolly gagging and doing nothing. You will go and fetch your own drinks and then later try to find someone to close out your tab. You will get your own coffee and drinks at breakfast. Fine for a 3 star, but after paying over 300 euros per night, you expect more. And the sad thing is this was even in midweek with fewer guests. - We made the mistake of sending 3 shirts to be washed. One came back with no sign of being washed. The other was ruined with bleach. The hotel tried to fix this by sending someone to buy a shirt that was in no way comparable in quality or fit. We appreciated the effort, but emblematic of our experience - not quite there. - The front desk was somewhat better, but still odd. I asked for boarding passes to be printed, it took 3 emails to them and then I finally did it on my own in the business center. I asked to break a 20 TL note into smaller bills and coins for tips and was refused since 20 TL is a "small note" - Finally, your ocean view room view may not have a view unless you stick your head out the window and turn your head. We complained and were upgraded to a room that actually allowed us to look directly at the water out our window. I appreciate that the hotel is trying its best. That said, this in no way approaches 5 star service that we've seen elsewhere. I'm not sure more training or more staffing is needed.
