1/1 found this review helpful

I have just returned from a 2 week stay at the TiTiZ Hotel in Gumbet, I had read the reports on this site and found then to be a bit over the top and unfair, This sort of unfair reporting can put people of going to Turkey, not just the hotel.

I arrived at 5am and my bags were carried to my room at the poolside by Ramazan, The male cleaner / houseman. I stayed in the room for the first night, The room was clean and bright, With a TV and Fridge and aircon if required.

I had requested a room on the upper floors, so I was not to happy with the room allocated, I spoke to Kemal the owner in the morning, and within 40 mins I was moved to a apartment on the roof without any upset or hassle. It may just be the way you ask for things.

On the whole, the hotel area was kept clean and tidy all the time, I asked to see the kitchen area, and was taken right inside on request without having to wait, the kitchen,pool area and bar were clean and tidy anytime I was around the hotel.

The Rooms, as I say, I was moved to a great room on the roof beside the washing machines used to do the laundry, I did find a great problem with the towels being very very hard, and reported this to the manager. as I was beside the laundry I could see the problem first hand, The cleaner was trying to do all the dirty laundry in one wash (well nearly), there was so much in the machine that there was no room for the water, they did use softner, but it did'nt get near the towels.
So yes, the towels were a big problem, but he has been told about them now. I printed all the reports from this site for 2005/2006 and took them with me to show him the complaints.
Kemal has told me he will act on whatever he can, But it is better to say when you are there, and not when you get home.

I have went to Bodrum/Gumbet twice a year for the last 17 years and have seen lots of hotels that are not as good as this for the price, I paid £250 for 2 weeks in a single room (but ended up in a apartment just for the asking)

I would stay at this hotel again just for the price and the location, But he is not with any tour operator next season, and is going to go on his own, But as flight only costs too much, i will have to go elsewhere on a package to keep the price down.

So sadly, Due to the bad reports, we have lost a good cheap little hotel in a great area.

My husband and I spent two weeks at the Titiz in July and had one of our best holidays ever. It was our first visit to Turkey and can't wait to go back. We were lucky to have a hotel room on the top floor overlooking the pool and bar area and the view from the balcony was outstanding especially at night. On arrival we were greeted by the manager with a complimentary drink and our cases were carried to our room for us. Breakfast consisted of lovely fresh bread, boiled eggs, meat, jam and honey and tea and coffee and as much as you wanted. The manager was always telling us to ask him if we needed anything and his wife was lovely. In fact all the staff were. Our room was spacious and cleaned every morning with fresh towels left. We never saw a single cockroach although we had been expecting to - not because of uncleanliness but because this was TURKEY and guess what - Turkey has lots of cockroaches and other nasties like all other hot countries. Most people know to expect that when going abroad. The only complaint we had was the volume of the music at times, but the barman would turn it down if asked (or received a glare from us!) At the end of our holiday the entire staff were there to wave us off - at 2.45 in the morning! So to those of you reading this who have booked a holiday at the Titiz and are dreading it because of some of the reviews then don't. We felt the same but were pleasantly surprised. The hotel is okay, although I would advise Bed and Breakfast so that you get a hotel room rather than an apartment as some of them are very small - and ask for a top floor.

A friend and I stayed at the Titiz Hotel for one week in September 2006. Before we arrived we had read all the reports posted on Trip Advisor and were in a state of panic as to what we were to find. We ended up having the best holiday we have had so far.

We arrived at the hotel early evening and were promptly checked in and introduced to the manager Kemal and his wife at reception. My only concern upon arrival was when we were being shown to our room. There is a cleaning lady who works at the hotel and she was around 7 months pregnant, and she was expected to carry our heavy suitcases up a flight of stairs to our room. I point blank refused for her to do this which didn’t go down too well with the manager Kemal who instructed the cleaning ladies husband to carry my suitcase instead.

Our apartment was right on the poolside and was lovely. The apartments are small but were ok for two people they can sleep up to four which would be a tight squeeze. They have a fridge, two ring cooker, toaster and kettle. The room was clean and tidy, housekeeping was every day. Towels were changed twice a week, although I would recommend taking your own as the towels they provide have seen better days. The brochure stated hairdryers in apartments which is wrong. There are NO hairdryers provided in the apartments or rooms. We experienced no problems with cockroaches, rats or snakes as the reports stated. There is a shop next door to the hotel that provides everything you require, which was handy for us as we were self-catering.

The bar is open from breakfast until 2am. If you require a quiet holiday, this is not the place to go due to the bar playing music and the apartments being very close to the bar/pool area where you can experience quite a bit of noise.

The food at the hotel was good too although quite small portions. The restaurant is open from morning breakfast until 10pm where you can choose snacks whilst lying around the pool. They have a varied menu of English and Turkish dishes to choose from.

The staff at the hotel were friendly, polite and very helpful. You received no hassle from them as I have experienced on previous trips to Turkey. Holiday reps visit the hotel every day (which is a first).

The hotel is situated about a 2 minute walk away from the main Bar Street which is very handy indeed. You hear no noise from Bar Street at the hotel. Bar Street contains many various bars, English, Irish, Australian, Karaoke Themed Bars, Nightclubs, Restaurants, you name it, and they have it. It is very lively and friendly.
In between the bars and restaurants are a mixture of shops that sell, clothes, shoes, jewellery, ornaments etc. etc. There are barbers and hairdressers mixed in also..

The beach is a 10/15 minute walk from bar street, although, due to all out time spent on various excursions, we never managed to get to this.

We had a fabulous holiday and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Titiz Hotel. I would highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for a fun and lively holiday at a very reasonable price.

Hello’s to Linzi and Trina, Simone and Ali, Rob and Rhona and most of all, last but not at all at least, Ercan (thank you for making my teaching of English a very pleasurable experience).

My Partner and I went to the Titiz hotel in Aug, we read the reviews and were very vary of what to expect, when we got dropped off I was pleasantly surprised it actually looked prettier than the others, Kamal and his wife couldn't have been nicer to us throughout the whole week, the room was clean we got fresh towels most days the cleaner Tuba was so sweet she worked very hard and I wanted to bring her home with me and she done much more in my room than necessary, all the staff were pleasant and helpful, we had breakfast in the hotel and it was fine never seen the rat, I think people expect far too much for budget accommodation, went to Turkish night great night, Kemal organised a couple of trips for us and they were fine, The only thing I will say the swimming pool is dangerous for kids no bars round it maybe he could improve on that. we loved Turkey but Gumbet and Bodrum was a tad too busy for us somewhere
quieter next time would be good, Hotel on a main road which got a bit noisy in the night didn't sleep too well that was my only complaint really.

hi,my g/f and i have just returned from a weeks stay in this faulty towers of a hotel....where do we start,the owner Kemal Titiz was a very rude man,he sacked a waiter at the bar infront of guests,shouting and pointing in his face,he also has a young couple working for him who clean the rooms,the girl is 6 months pregnant and works from 8am till 2am.one of the guests found the girl sleeping on his bed when he returned to his room one day,my g/friend found her sleeping in thelanding on a couch when she was going down for breakfast.
The manager also pestered us for not drinking at his bar,but he was to expensive,we got one nice word out of him and that was yesterday when we where waiting to get picked up for the airport.
The holiday was brilliant and the guests who where staying at the hotel made the stay memorable..the rooms where ok,he charges £15 for a weeks air conditioning,the tv has no english speaking channels...my advice...STAY CLEAR
