We left the Hotel La Rosa less than 24 hours ago. I had booked up last minute going allocated on arrival, and was very pleasantly surprised when we first entered this hotel.
The La Rosa itself is a lovely, small hotel. The grounds are beautifully maintained, with plenty of free sun loungers/bean bags for all the guests. There are also several gazebos and other seating areas spread around so if you want to you can get out of the sun. As it is a small hotel, there wasn't too much noise during the day, so it was very relaxing. I had two teenage daughters with me and they thought it was brilliant, and didn't get bored once over the two weeks. Every member of staff was very friendly and couldn't do enough for you.
Entertainment is in the form of karaoke every nite until midnight, but the bar stays open as long as you want it to, friday nights they lay on a Turkish night, with a troupe of artistes perfoming and a barbecue, for the cost of £10.
Rooms are a decent size, and very clean, sheets and towels were changed 5 times during our stay, and rooms cleaned every day.
Although not in the centre of Gumbet, it is only a 15 minute stroll down the hill to the centre of the nightlife. Built fairly close to a residential area, which is a bonus, as there are numerous nice Turkish resturaunts close at hand, that tend to be cheaper than those in the main area. Also only a 2 minute walk to the local market held every sunday.
Pay the extra for the air con. It enables you to shut the doors at night and keep out the noise of the bar!!

I have just returned from a two week break at Hotel La Rosa. I had a fantastic time, the hotel staff were brilliant very attentive to all your requirements from the manager down to the the cleaners. The hotel was spotless and the pool area was well maintained. I cannot stress how much I enjoyed my stay.

Well done La Rosa Keep up the work and I hope to return very soon!!

Hotel La Rosa was a very friendly hotel. The staff couldn't do enough for you. The only downside was the size of the rooms, you certainly couldn't swing a cat in them however they were clean and comfortable. The location was terrible, in the middle of a very run down residential area. However it was preferable to staying in Gumbet itself, which is a decaying dump in need of some serious investment from tourist money. I am a grandmother of 3 in my mid forties and was travelling with my husband and even I wasn't safe from the unwanted attenition from the local men. Unfortuantely it was my first and last trip to Turkey - never again!!

We stayed at the La Rosa in June for a week and can i just say what a pleasant suprise we had.
The hotel isnt in the centre of Gumbet but ideally situated if u wish to go into the busy part of Gumbet on a nightime.

The pool area is clean and has plenty of sun loungers.The pool is small but adequate for a cooling swim on a hot turkish afternoon.

The rooms are basic but very clean and even have satellite television,although for british visitors the only channel in english is BBC World (news channel).

Bar staff are very friendly and will make your nights as fun and lively as possible and will have you doing the 'cha-cha slide' and singing along to the turkish version of 'kiss,kiss' for the duration of your stay.

In summing up i would say that if u want a hotel close enough to Gumbet/Bodrum that is clean and friendly then this is the hotel for you!!!
