Prive Hotel Bodrum

The hotel and staff were excellent. The service was outstanding. The rooms were cleaned daily. Every area was kept spotless though out our visit. You can catch a water taxi from the sea across to Bodrum town or the staff at reception will call you a taxi which always arrived within 2 minutes. The food and drink were availability all day. And there is a 24 hour lobby bar as well as a beautiful patisserie. Over all I would rate this hotel 10 out of 10.

We came back yesterday after 2 weeks having never been to this supposedly 5* hotel. People on trip advisor are TOTALLY WRONG in saying its 5*! Tui also rate it as 5*! Husband paid extra for a balcony which was basically a 12" deep WALL. The drying line wouldn't dry anything as clothes were lower than the wall! As for the bedroom.... No USB sockets whatsoever.... Hair dryer had no blow drying nozzle so it blew my hair all over the place ( good job I bought my own!) bedroom units were very dated, plenty of wardrobe space though! Really bad was the fact that there was no main light in bedroom, so I struggling to see to put makeup on other than bathroom. The worst thing was the bed! Although the mattress was lovely and clean and deep and was comfortable, the sheet was about a DOUBLE SIZE with a SUPERKING BED, consequently, all night one of us had the covers taken of us. There were TWO SINGLE RED COVERS which kept slipping off! In a 5* hotel this is DISGUSTING! The bathroom was terrible! Very old amenities, shower went off at one point, but I had to wash soap off with water on running tap! Shower door rubber seal came off in my hand so I had to try and put back on myself! Towels were old and thin... Couldn't swing a CAT in there! In public places, I would rate as higher as decor was lovely, although again in lounge you couldn't read if you wanted to as it was VERY DARK. Might have been nice to have lots of table lights dotted around( and NO I DON'T want to go in reading room!) Pool was good. We got beds at 9am nearly all days. I loved the App so you could order your drinks and staff bought to your bed! I tipped regularly as so deserved it! There was ABSOLUTELY NO ENTERTAINMENT. It had finished day we got there.. Thx for that! Top bar was the most gorgeous view of Bodrum ever, staff really good there but could have more chairs out there. The hotel next door DID HAVE ENTERTAINMENT but very loud and it started about 1 hour before so it sort of ruined us sitting outside! Snack bar was brilliant, really good service. I loved the chicken or beef donor wrap. I noticed that Managers were sitting at tables SMOKING CIGARS ( at one point!!??) Restaurant quite good but I had an omelette 1st day and oil was about 1/2" deep in pan, consequently, it tasted horrible! Again service was excellent. Waiter remembered our latte order/ wine at lunch. Tipped accordingly! I went to reception day before to ask what time we had to check out of room. I was told 12 noon. We were to be picked up at 9.15pm so a very long day. I was NOT OFFERED any EXTENSION......i DID KNOW a couple who had 3pm extension and didn't even had to pay. I expected to pay, that wasn't the problem! I will add that it was so good to see notices on beach that no music or video calls weren't allowed! That's brilliant as no one wants to hear other people's conversations or hear their music blaring! There were lovely beds near to beach and coffee shop in pool bar, best I've seen in a hotel! Alt

Love this place. It gets better every year. There is a lovely view towards the castle over the bay and the rooms are really comfortable. A lot of the staff have been there for a few years and are so friendly and welcoming. Will keep going back every year.
