Hotel Istankoy Bodrum

This was a lovely hotel right in the heart of Bodrum close to the sea, beach, restaurants, harbour and shops (and around 40 mins transfer time from the airport). I spent most of the holiday in the hotel by the pool - it felt too hot to do much else and the hustle culture at the restaurant and shops in Bodrum with them vying for your custom doesn’t appeal to me at all. The rooms were comfortable and spacious enough. I was on the top floor and could see the sea from my balcony space. Being central it is quite noisy around through the night. The hotel breakfast buffet was lovely and the lunch/dinner menu had a vast range from local dishes to English favourites (I never thought I would have a Traditional Sunday roast in Turkey). You could eat here every night and have something different . I don’t think Turkey is as cheap as it used to be or as people make out and in Bodrum you have to watch out for extras being added to bills so it was relaxing just to chill around the hotel. The staff were all friendly and attentive and there was music, entertainment and Bingo on evenings over the course of the week. The bar was well stocked and fairly reasonably priced, a local beer under £3 draught. The hotel is smallish and there were not too many children(and it’s not a young party hotel either) so it it had a nice peaceful vibe which was relaxing.

This hotel offers a realistic feel of Turkey 🇹🇷 The staff are all amazing, helpful, and polite. Situated just of the main harbour front. About 150 meters away is the beautiful shopping centre. Although the prices have risen in Turkey, it's still good value for money 💰. Love the place.

Firstly to the management and the staff, what a great holiday! Typically you get what you pay for when it comes to life. Anything beyond is an extra, that seals the likelihood of your return. I won't be coming back as its time for the next generation to enjoy

Cracking hotel in the heart of Bodrum, only 2 minutes walk to the beach down an alleyway and five minutes to the centre. Lovely and clean hotel, amazing helpful, attentive and friendly staff who could not do enough for you. I had a superior room and the bed was so comfortable. The bathroom was immaculate and modern. Some of my party had standard rooms and they were very good too. Ate at the hotel one evening and food was excellent, the breakfasts were plentiful and tasty too. Would go back at a heartbeat!

First put us in a room not big enough for 2 to walk round the bed only one side of door opened had to squeeze out. They changed us to another room after I split my arm.the second room was much bigger beds and pillars nice and soft. Meals weren't that nice had cheese toasty and chips twice were cold the beer was cheaper than outside hotel All staff were nice but I wouldn't go back
