Radisson Collection Hotel, Bodrum

Очень понравился отель , удобно , красиво , вкусно, единственный минус далеко от всего находится ) но в этом есть и плюс :)) вернемся еще

Absolutely loved this hotel - sadly only spent one night here at the end of our road trip - wished we’d spent longer. Lovely staff - got upgraded to a beautiful suite and they couldn’t do enough. The room was beautiful with an amazing view. I’ve read some previous reviews which quite frankly seem bizarre and completely at odds with our experience. Some guests complained the the staff didn’t speak English- why should they, you’re in Turkey! Breakfast was something else - I’ve never seen such choice - pretty much everything hot and cold you could want.

Unfortunately the location is 5star but the hotel is NOT. Pros: • The Cove area, stunning views, shops & resturants. • Good size room and balcony Cons: • Inexperienced staff • Poor house keeping • Tiny pool • Non hotel guests are allowed to access the hotel, including screaming children. • Pool unattended, no staff around • Public beach • No selected area for hotel guests • Outrageous prices at Heaven cafe the beach resturant (86Euro for 2 burgers and 3 beers) • Not a 5 star concierge service • Breakfast is average Bodrum is stunning but unfortunately I won't recommend this hotel or be back.

We had an incredibly nice experience in terms of magnificent nature, great employee profile, polite and fast service. I was amazed by the quick response of the employees. The quality of the environment and the customer profile impressed me a lot.

The price you pay is far from the service that one would expect form a 5-star hotel. 1. Rooms: Rooms are large and decently furnished but cleanliness is quite disappointing. Housekeeping was random at best, and they only cleaned on demand (for example, the bathroom or balcony were never cleaned unless we requested it explicitly). Rooms on the ground floor can be visited by stray cats if one leaves the door open. This is what happened to us. With my wife being allergic, we asked for an alternative arrangement which was promptly found. We were given a new room at an upper floor and with a better view. 2. Service: a. Beach service was horrible. First, like rooms’, beach cleanliness is a mirage. Stray dogs are around all the time and the beach is always dirty (see pictures of what the beach looks like at 9am on a typical day). The beach is also adjacent to a drain with stagnant water, which on a typical windy day sometimes smells. Second, almost none of the staff speak a decent English. Finally, the beach is open to outsiders. While nowhere was this written when I made the reservation, the end result is that, particularly during weekends, you may find yourself without an umbrella and beds. That is exactly what happened to us when we checked in on a Sunday afternoon. Moreover, barely are there controls at entry, so in theory anyone can (and in fact does) use the beach. b. Dining was also quite poor. The hotel has four restaurants but only two are open for dinner. This leaves us with fewer options. Yes, the nearby village offers alternatives, but it is not clear why a 5-star hotel should only have two restaurants open for dinner (note: one is a beach restaurant). c. On a positive note, staff were very helpful, especially Elena, the guest relations manager, who was very kind with us and tried her best to improve the service, yet there are structural problems that only the general management can and should try to solve. Speaking of which, we lodged a complaint with central Radisson and no one bothered to reply, not even an automatic reply acknowledging receipt of the message. As the saying goes: “the fish rots from the head”. 3. Location: This is definitely a plus. The hotel is located in a beautiful bay, with crystalline waters. However, the place is a bit self-containing, with very limited options to walk and dine around, and explore adjacent places. There is a no-frills village at walking distance but you can only reach it by taxi, as it is not advisable to walk on the margins of the road. In sum, if you are looking for a truly 5-star hotel experience look elsewhere.

My experience with the room service “in-room amenities” has been consistently disappointing. Not only are they persistently late, but their attitude leaves much to be desired. Every time they arrived, there was no apology for the delay, and their demeanor was far from welcoming – not a single smile in sight. It's evident that guest satisfaction is not a priority for them. I expected more from a reputed hotel chain like Radisson Collection, but sadly, my expectations were not met. Future guests beware: don't count on prompt service or a friendly face here.

At the beginning you can feel the professionality of 5 stars hotel, check-in was amazing thanks to Mr. Aytaç and Dilar alto all staff from reception thet were always kind. The rooms are awesome with terrace and other one with sea wiev balcony. You can find from minibar corner nespresso coffee, botte of water was made by the glass. I would like ti especially refer all products have high quality and cleaning was satisfied. At the breakfast Elena has welcomed us with kidness and always smiling. Breakfast is abondant, deliciuos and ambient makes you feel that you enjoy in vacation. The sea was slice of heaven. It is unique sea that I can enjoy here. From Sanitas Spa reception Yasemin was welcoming and Dilare who operated 75 min. Medical massage was incredibile. The homemade meal restaurant's producta are sterilised and delicious, Yusuf and other lady they were so kind From bar Mr. Hakan, Doğa and Umut extremly professional and welcoming too. You can also find special cocktails and Starbucks coffe. Lovely. We will absolutely get back in every visit of Bodrum. Greatings to the all staff for this organiziation. Even if it was a period of Eid fest, they could manage it with their best.

Hotel is nice and new, we had some issues with food and service during our stay. However the management took in serious consideration our complaint and the room service was totally improved after that. A special thanks to Ersin, manager who recognised the problems of food and service, and made his best to feel us comfortable. I found him professional, he truly aims to keep the restaurants at a good level; the dinner we had with Turkish kebab was delicious. It remains some communication problem with the staff, as their understanding of English language is very limited, however this is a common problem in Turkey. The beach need to be better maintained, as a lot of stones and dirty was spoiling our experience on the sea.

This hotel is very different from Turkish standards. As first the beach is completely different from site’s pictures. As you can see in my photo, the sand is poor quality, dirty and full of stones. Nor suitable beach not for swimming neither for walking. Hotel territory has not any nature, and access to the beach is through the public area. Beach are no sand but poor grass. But hotel’s weakest point is food. I never experienced so poor food quality like here. Looks like we are not in Turkey. Unbelievable poor quality of food. Service is also another weak point, as most of the employees doesn’t understand English; they know just few words, so you think they understood but they didn’t. What else ? Room is nice but after 5 days living here still they didn’t changed our bed linen, quite unusual for a 5 stars hotel. But here is more similar to 3,5 stars. Frankly I don’t understand how did they got the Radisson brand for such a shame place.
