We had a very enjoyable two-night stay at the Marmara Hotel at the end of August after touring through Turkey. The hotel is beautiful, and it has a fantastic location overlooking Bodrum and the sea. You can sit for hours by the lovely pool and never get tired of the view. Our room was very comfortable, clean and well-appointed, and... more

The good: Wonderful view of the city from atop a hill. Good facilities, meaning two swimming pools, gym, squash and tennis court, etc. Clean rooms, but not 5 star standard. More like a bad 4 star. The bad: The business model is as follows: build a hotel that has no amenities close by, and squeeze every euro out of your... more

Five star hotel it is not, let's give it three and that is being honest. We are experienced travellers and we know a five star hotel when we see one. Surely the rooms are large, but similar in design and comfort to other hotels who do not have five stars. The furnishings are worthy of Ikea, which is not a... more

Just spent 2 nights at the Marmara after travelling around Turkey at quite a pace! It was wonderful to arrive at this beautiful hotel and be efficiently checked in and shown to a room that was spotless, spacious and had a view second to none! The french doors opened onto a balcony which looked out over the entire city and... more

Absolutely excellent in all respects. Just a little difficult to find since i it is outside the main Bodrum central area, high up on a moutain that looks down upon the city and is only a few minutes away should one want to go into central Bodrum. more

The Marmara has some unbelievable potential. To start with, the bed was one of the best I ever have slept in. With a nice duvet and the perfect hardness, it was delightful. The room was spotless and very large. The view out over the sea was delightful. The only problem was they were excavating underneath the hotel for a new... more

Booked into the Marmara at the last minute after being let down by the Adahan in Yalikavak. It is a fabulous hotel with the best pitch in Bodrum (as long as you have a car or are happy to use taxis). Views are breathtaking and the hotel has been designed to maximise them. But like many 'boutique' hotels, it is... more

Beautifully designed hotel with great pool and the best view in Bodrum. Staff and Management were friendly and efficient. Bedrooms were very smart, seaview here is a must. Slight reservations about the food which was limited and not up to the standard of the rest of the hotel. Breakfast was confusing as it appeared many items such as orange juice... more

My wife and I travel about 2 months per year. We are in our 40's This is our second trip to Turkey. The Marmara sits on a 3000 year old archaelogical site. It towers over the whole city with a Million Dollar view. Get a ocean view room and pay the extra. The staff is off the scale and professionaly... more
