“It was average”

ArtBodrum Hotel

Jul 19, 2007

I had read the reviews about this hotel before we left. So when we arrived and were put in a small, run down club room I checked we had warm water a toilet that worked and air conditioning that didnt swicth off every ten minutes we decided to stay put. However after a couple of nights the water went cold!! Reception were not helpful. They gave us a key to another room one night for a shower. We never changed rooms because talking to people who had we discovered they were all the same!!
The maid cleaned our room every day puttting flower petals on the bed.
There is NO mini club at this hotel and the playground is over grown. There was a hole in one of the chiildrens pools. On our last day one of the animation girls who was lovely took the children for a couple of activities. I think they had lots of complaints about the non mini club. There was a mini disco each night.
We had the photos taken they are lovely but they will try and rip you off!! We told them we had not enough money left to give them what they wanted for a cd. They eventually took less than half the money they originally wanted.
The food was the same all the time so we went into the resort a couple of nights and had lovely meals. The resort was nice and i would go back but this is not a four star hotel.
My daughter is six And we all did have a nice holiday apart from some of the things about the hotel. I thought the staff were lovely.

“Dont Do It !!!!”

ArtBodrum Hotel

Jul 18, 2007

When we arrived at the hotel it looked great, but beyond the reception area it all goes wrong.
It was late at night when we arrived and was dark we went to the Club room with a guy that carried the bags and there was no outdoor lighting and 100's of steps it was quite scary.
When we got in the room we had a terrace that had a massive tree hanging over it so no sun, and it was full off ants not clean either.
The food at this hotel was horrible we ate there once on the first night and never again for the whole two weeks, we never stayed at the hotel after the first few days there, as the hotel staff when you are trying to sunbathe pestered you all the time, and the music was really loud and the entertainment staff were not entertaining
I would never stay here again worst hotel ever, lift broke down hot water went off, air con stopped working, ai drincs rubbish, food rubbish hotel its self rubbish,#
Do yourself a favour if you are due to go get it changed asap.
Gumbet town itself and the local beaches are very nice though.

“Not a 4 Star Hotel!!”

ArtBodrum Hotel

Jul 15, 2007

First Impression as you walk in reception is a great hotel, but then as you are lead to your club room, it was quite dissapointing, very small room, although our air con worked, other people were complaining about theres. We have stayed at many hotels including 4-5 Star Turkish Hotels and we could only rate this a 2 star. The food was very boring, meat balls in a variety of shapes and rice nearly every night, we did eat out quite often even though we were all inclusive, the drinks were fine though. Entertainment was limited and finished by 11 along with the drinks. Your are pestered to have a Turkish bath, Shave, Nails, Hair which is fine but they end up trying to stick a face mask on or start doing something which then becomes an extra cost that you weren't quoted and they suddenly become unable to understanding English when you object. The Photographers are very good, and the CD we had was amazing but they REALLY try and rip you off!!! A few of the Staff were freindly others weren't, reception can't speak english and there are loads of rude Dutch & Germans who push in every que. Anyway, I wouldn't go back there and was ready to come after 5 days.

“Once we sorted out a decent room!.....”

ArtBodrum Hotel

Save Review
2 of 5 stars
Thornaby, middlesbrough
Jul 3, 2007

Well our holiday didn't really get off to a great start! we were left waiting at the airport for an hour and half in blistering turkish heatwave!
When we eventually arrived at the hotel check in went fine and a young turkish lad helped with the cases, which was good cos this hotel does have a lot of steps but if you look at the surrounding hotels so do they! I have weak knee's and i still managed!
When we got in the room we took a look round and found that shower was mouldly, i must say they did send a cleaner very quickly, but they was no hope really! We insisted to change rooms which they only obliged to do when i turnned the water works on!?
The second room was in the hotel and was a lovely large room but like another review said the air con switched off every ten mins! Which during the heatwave was unbearable, so after trying to sort out a new room untill 2am we gave up and coped the night.
On the moring we rang about changing rooms and were very speedy in getting us the key and help up to the new room, At last a room that was clean and had air con, it would have been nice to have a balcony, but the view was still lovely.
The food was a bit repetative but it was edible, soup is always a good choice. We were never awake for breakfast so cant comment. The restaurants in gumbet (5min dolmus ride) have a wide variety on offer, we had a meal at Bar Tempo it was fantastic and it cost £25 for everything!!
The hotel nightlife goes to sleep at 11, which is a bit annoying as the bar shuts, but unlike a lot of all inclusive places you could get as many drinks as you wanted at the bar so we used to stock up! The entertainment wasn't brilliant but it was there and its better then nothing! the turkish night was pretty good!
the entertainment staff took you to disco's at 11.30pm if you wanted, id heard the music was german techno which seems rather popular not my kinda thing!
We got photo's taken by the photographers (one of them looks like Sahjid from LOST) at the hotel which are amazing. They take you down to the beach at sunset and make you look amazing with no special effects, really nice memento if your a couple!
The hotel in general was good but not 4* more 3*. It has three swimming pools, one quiet, one with a bar and music and the other had a bar and was activities central through the day!
The only member of staff we had a problem with was the first receptionist about the rooms, but everyone else made us feel welcome.
PLEASE dont book an excursion with the hotel man they is a huge mark up on the price. Go to gumbet and book trips they cheaper and all do hotel pick up's. We booked a boat trip in Gumbet for £7 the hotel was charging £12. The boat trip is a must, the food was better on the boat unbelievably?!
I DO WANT TO SAY THAT I FEEL THEY ENGLISH WAS EXCELLENT! We dont speak turkish so why expect them to speak english such a typical british arrogance!
