“oh my god my legs are aching”

ArtBodrum Hotel

Aug 19, 2007
2/4 found this review helpful

I have just come back after one week with my family, the journey there was a joke three hours from Bodrum coach driven by an incopetant driver who couldn't drive let alone know where he was going. we were not given any information on how long the jounrney was to last and not the taxi we were promised.

Hotel looked nice on arrival, but when we got to our room, t was tiny, no where to sit outside, no chairs even thoiugh we asked 4 times the receptioist kept saying"I'll send my friend", well no friend came. We ende up pinching 4 chairs from the terrace next door.

Food was very boring, no decent stuff for breakfast, ate there 1st night then went out to eat which was really nice. The entertainment was far too loud during the day with one CD being played all day.

Not suitable for children who dont speak German, turkish or Russian

“Could be sensational - but not at the minute”

ArtBodrum Hotel

Aug 7, 2007
4/4 found this review helpful

This hotel has bags of potential and could be sensational.
But not at the minute.
Although we enjoyed the holiday, there were a few things which prevented it from being as good as we hoped.
First of all, the entertainment is awful.
During the day the DJ plays the same CD every day which he will sing along to.
At night, with the exception of the Turkish night, the entertainment was the worst I have ever experienced - and I have had a few bad ones over the years.
Don't do the bingo nights because it lasts for two hours - and that is just one game!!!
Other gripes we had were:
The kiddies club was on for just one day of the 14 nights we were there.
The bar closes at 11pm when the all inclusive deal runs out and you can't buy anything, meaning you have to go into town if you want to carry on with the night.
The air conditioning didn't work in our room - but at least they provided us with a fan.
The manager is surly who overworks his staff and won't allow them to really mingle with the holiday makers.
There are stairs everywhere and you won't be able to do anything if you have walking difficulties.
And it caters mainly for Dutch, German and Russian people so we were in the minority - just an observation, not a complaint.
But other than that it was fine!!!
The food is good, it has three nice swimming pools, most of the staff are friendly and the rooms are cleaned everyday with fresh towels provided.
The Turkish bath on site is well worth having as I had a massage afterwards which sorted out a five year back problem - I was very grateful for that.
There is table tennis, billiards, a volleyball court and a small children's playground so the facilities are excellent.
Overall, it is not as bad as some reviewers have written but if they could sort out the minor problems, the main ones being the entertainment and bar closing time, this has potential to be brilliant.
If I knew that had done that I would definitely go back.

2 of 5 stars
Birmingham
Aug 4, 2007

We all arrived AT 5.30AM and was sent to room 103 got our heads down for 3 hours then asked to be moved as air conditioning was turning off every 10 minutes we were moved to room 1081excellent right by the pool, The hotel is fine, got alot of steps, food terrible, too many NATIONALATIES there to cater for, entertainment terrible Sarco Entertainment manager just likes to sing to the songs like Kareoke all day. Poola nd drinks fines. We cleaned the air conditioning filters ourselves in the shower then it blew out ice cold. This is our 6th time to Turkey and are easily pleased and not fussy but the food is terrible, If your going here for Honeymoon forget it and get it changed now...The Turkish are just out to rip of the english 5 Euro for a can of coke BODRUM AIRPORT thats £3.50!!!!!! We went into Gumbet for our food, full breakfast £2, But if the food in the hotel was good we would have been ok, Really we eat anything but the food was just like pig swill and thats no LIE!!!

“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.
