The Marmara Bodrum - Adult Only 5* - Бодрум

Though it is listed as “child friendly” hotel here on Google, they don’t accept children. They will reject kids outright. I’m not judging the hotel, just pointing out this aspect.

The strong point of Marmara Bodrum Hotel are the views but many hotels in Bodrum also have nice views. My quick summary before I give details below is that the bathroom was outdated and the room was not very spacious like some of Marmara’s competitors. One advantage is that Marmara stays open 12 months per year whereas most hotels in Bodrum close in the winter but if visiting in the summer I would choose other places. I stayed in a corner sea suite and one could argue that it is a suite in name only, first of all at 40 square meters it was not particularly spacious in fact the size was similar to the entry level room at some other hotels. There was no separation between the living room and the bedroom other than a single step. However the main issue was that the hardware was aging, perhaps for the living room it was fine because it gave some character to the room and I liked the stone and wood floor combo, but the bathroom was in need for renovations. The shower was in a dreaded bathtub with a partial wall glass panel. The bed was comfortable but some nights we could not sleep well because there was no air conditioning. I guess it was deactivated for the winter but our room was too hot. Opening our patio door somewhat helped but we could not have cool nights like we had at the more modern Swissotel before moving to Marmara. Soundproofing was quite bad and we could hear loud banging of doors outside. Fortunately the hotel was very low occupancy so it was not a major issue during our stay but would most likely be a problem in the busy summer. The free breakfast amenity as SLH Indulged tier member was not available as room service – it was in the restaurant only, which was disappointing given covid circumstances; just a few days prior Swissotel Bodrum did not enforce this restriction. The restaurant itself was visually attractive like other common spaces of the hotel and some guests did not mind the cool weather and had breakfast on the terrace in order to enjoy the beautiful views overlooking Bodrum. The buffet was not self-serve and there was a daily rotation of hot dishes which was appreciated. So overall the breakfast was decent but it would have been more luxurious if they had an a la carte menu to go along the buffet. Service was a mixed bag, sometimes for breakfast service was good and they remembered our choice of drinks and our desired fruits were brought straight to our table, other times for orders from the kitchen they forgot (even twice the same morning). On New Year’s Day they brought a few goodies to our room which was a nice touch, including a bottle of wine which was in addition to the bottle we had in the room at check-in as a welcome amenity. Wifi was a problem during our stay. Speed was not great however the main problem was the fact that wifi kept disconnecting. After I complained a technician finally brought a portable router to our room which helped matters but I could not connect to a VPN from that network so it was only partially useful. After discussing the problem again with staff they ended up giving me the password for a non-public network and it helped at first, but it did not take long that speed and connectivity issues resurfaced. Overall when a hotel has subpar hardware if they want to live up to luxury standards, they need to make up for it with a superior soft product which was not the case here. Breakfast was ok but not unusually good due to the lack of a la carte menu and not being available as room service, and wifi made it for a frustrating stay. In the summer when there are lots of choices of hotels in Bodrum I would probably book elsewhere next time. In the winter it’s usually slim pickings but I had a strong preference for Swissotel where I stayed a few days before Marmara. In non-covid times there should be a few more choices such as DoubleTree and Le Meridien which I would probably try in the winter before returning to Marmara.

Very friendly staff, great location overlooking Bodrum, extremely clean, spacious rooms and nice property in general!

My daughter and I had a great experience staying at Marmara Bodrum.All tge staff from.the reception to the waiters were extremely polite. ROOMS were excellent ,perfect location walking distance to the marina. Food at Marmara was awesome .

Personal super freundlich, das Hotel hat eine Hammer Aussicht über ganz Bodrum, das Essen ist toll, der Pool ist sehr sauber, eigentlich alles in allem 5 Sterne, jedoch ist das Hotel ziemlich in die Jahre gekommen. Einige Schimmelflecken im Badezimmer, der Abfluss in der Dusche lief zunächst nicht, wurde aber nach einer Meldung behoben.

Отличный отель с чистыми просторными номерами. Пять звёзд есть пять звёзд. Кухня вкусная, ходили там и ужинать (завтраки были включены) Минус конечно что пляж не рядом, но есть пляж до которого ходит шаттл (в 11-30 на пляж, в 17-00 привозит обратно).

Почти все здесь прекрасно. Очень красивый отель. Просто музей. Волшебный вид на город и море. Отличный бич клуб, в который возят (ехать минут 20, в 11:30 туда, 17:00 обратно, если такое расписание вам не удобно, всегдаможно уехать на такси - 12 дол). Езда туда совсем не напрягает. Там хорошо и вкусно кормят. То что отель находится на горе тоже не напрягает. Пешком с горы до центра минут 20. Обратно всегда ездили на такси, максимум 20 лир. В среднем 13-15. Не отличный, но хороший спа. Парень хорошо делает массаж. Спорт зал имеет все необходимое оборудование. Завтрак норм, сытыми останетесь. В общем, все прекрасно. Но. Есть постоянно какие-то мелочи, которые к концу отпуска раздражают и море с солнцем уже не затмевают лёгкие косяки персонала. Есть некая постоянная недоработка. Ну, например, в номере при заселении были чужие принадлежности личной гигиены. На второй день унесли халат один из номера, так и не вернули. В ресторане постоянно забывают заказ. В начале отдыха тебе кажется "ой ну что за милая оплошность", к концк начинает бесить. Записывали бы хоть раз не могут запомнить. Но если я прошу 2 американо с молоком и 2 фреша, то, наверное, сложно забыть про фреши. И так постоянно. То одно, то другое. Потом нам два дня подряд не хватало места в трансфере с пляжа в отель. И хотя машину подавали не больше 10 минут, на второй раз осадочек остался. В общем, их мелкие косяки прямопропорциональны ценности тех денег что вы заплатили. Меня периодически начинала душить жаба. Не дотягивают они, все же, чуток до Small Luxury Boutique Hotels:(

Very nice hotel with an astonishing view. Excellent staff and perfect service. Highly recommended for a romantic gateway.
