The Gulec Hotel is well situated in Bodrum, within easy walking distance of the sea/beach, the shopping district and the bus station. Its owners and staff are very friendly and go the extra mile to help you out. There's a very nice courtyard on which all rooms apparently have a view.

Our room was clean and quite spacious. The shower was problematic, as there was very little hot water and the pressure had to be kept to a drizzle if you didn't want to flood the entire bathroom.

The breakfast was a traditional Turkish breakfast (bread, olives, cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers) and was good. I would certainly recommend staying here, the only caveat being the problematic shower.

The Gulec is a delight - basic, very clean acommodation that is true value for money. Conveniently located, the hotel has a charming garden in which to have breakfast or read, and owners who genuinely care about the experience of their guests.

The Gulec booked a Hamam for us, recommended excellent places to eat, saw to our transportation needs and presented us on occasion with fresh apricots from their trees. We stayed twice - a party of 6 - for four nights overall and will happily return.

reasonable priced privatly run hotel with friendly staff and a perfect location. close to everything yet calm. wonderful garden and clean rooms. absolutely to recommend for those who prefer a tasteful simplicity to luxury.

The family running the Gulec are so friendly and helpful that you feel totally at home there. Breakfast in the orange tree garden is a delight and the Turkish Tea flows throughout! They made our stay in Bodrum a whole lot better by helping us to find our way around, helping with car hire and so on. Nothing was too much trouble.
The hotel is positioned right in the centre of Bodrum where all the locals eat and drink and is only three minutes from the tourist nightlife but at the same time is very peaceful and relaxing.
I recommend a visit anytime.
