My mum and I stayed at the Orion hotel for a week in August and had a superb time. The hotel is small and very friendly, the staff were brilliant and helped to make an ordinary holiday very special. We were keen to have a Turkish bath and the barman at the hotel arranged for us to be picked up from the hotel, taken to the bath and returned free of charge.
The rooms at the hotel aren't huge, but they were clean and adequate for our needs. The pool is smallish too, but as there are so few rooms, and we were so near the beach, there were times when we were the only people in it!
The beach and a wide variety of restaurants are a couple of minutes walk away . It is also really easy to get into Bodrum on a Dolmus (minibus) as they run every 15 mins.
It is well worth trying the food at the hotel, particuarly the lamb saute! The Turkish night was a real giggle too!
I would recommend that people book straight with the hotel rather than through a tour operator as it will be MUCH cheaper and the hotel can arrange transfers.

We have not long returned from Turkey and stayed at the Orion. It is lovely to look at from the outside however we must say that the rooms need quite a bit of tlc. The showers/toilets were particularly grubby with quite a lot of damp mould everywhere. However, I must say on complaining we were moved immediately to another room which was identical but cleaner. The rooms are small, sparsely furnished but adequate as you spend most of the day out anyway. The hotel staff were lovely they could not do enough for you and we ate once there (apart from the daily breakfast) at a bbq and belly dancer night which was very good fun. The only downside is that you are not allowed to pay for anything until the end of the week as no money is allowed to pass hands with the staff! This meant we did not know how much we were paying for things which was a small shock at the end of the week. It is 2 mins from the beach and very safe. Would recommend again (hopefully some tlc on the rooms for next year?).

Loved the Orion hotel it has the most friendly, helpful and entertaining staff. The hotel is kept very clean and tidy. On Thursday's Turkish night we had a lot of fun with a belly dancer and great food. Orion hotel had excellent service and were willing to help with any request or queries.

The beach was clean and only two minutes from the hotel. There are a lot of great restaurants along the beach but one we would recommend is The Golden spoon.

All and all is was a wonderful holiday. Missing it already!
