This was a great wee hotel- the staff were all very helpful and super friendly. the hotel was clean and very reasonable. it is not luxury and if you want to spend a lot of time in your room then it's a bit small.

the turkish people are really friendly and our rep (thomson) was fantastic with helping us to pick excursions (would recommend turtle beach).

Istankoy: 8/10
turkey in general: 10/10

Just got back from a week at Istankoy in Bodrum. First time in turkey and couldn't have stayed at a better place. The hotel was clean, the staff were great - Hassan is an A1 Barman - The food was good. Overall it was a great place to stay. Would recommed - Will definitely be back. Can't believe it is only a 2 star rated hotel, should be more.

Fantastic hotel really friendly and fun staff. Great combination of guests of all ages and no children - probably due to time we went (early July). Rooms where pleasant and the situation of hotel was fantastic. Less then a minutes walk to the shops and bars but far enough away that it was still quiet. If I was to visit Bodrum again I'd definately stay here as we were made very welcome and the hotel in general had a really good atmosphere about it. Only downfall I found was that all food and drink had to be bought from the hotel and they did charge a little more than the local shops. Overall though a great holiday with a very chilled but still active atmosphere
