Ali Baba Hotel Gümbet

Had a brilliant time there, Seb and Antonio were brilliant as were all staff. Basic but clean, going back next year definately, highly recommend, close to many restaurants, bars and bus to Bodrum end of drive, Antonio was an absolute star who went above and beyond.

My wife and I stayed here from 25 july till the 9th of august. We arrived very early in the morning 3.30am to be precise due to being delayed at Gatwick and were very kindly greeted by the owner who showed us to our room unfortunately the room we were given was very close to the pool and bar area,there was a few holiday makers that had obviously come back from a night out and were sitting out side our room making a load of noise...but the next morning after a quick chat with one of the owners we were moved to the other side of the hotel complex and from there on in had a very peaceful and quiet stay...the hotel really does what it says on the tin. Basic but with very comfortable beds and everything you need, its perfect for a base to explore. Theres a taxi rank across the road which was really handy and a bus stop nxt door.taxis were really cheap and brilliant for getting about locally..theres a brilliant restaurant across the road and the hotel does bar snacks,theres a lauderette around the corner which very reasonable and a good size shop across the road..personally Gumbet wasnt the nicest place but that was our opinion but bodrum which is a 10 min taxi ride was beautiful and we spent most of our time there.im a chef and Turkish food is for me one of the worlds great cuisines bodrum is full of restaurants suiting all budgets. where is gumbet wasnt anywhere nr as good.the weather was perfect with a lovely breeze for the whole 2 weeks .what's great about this area is that theres so much to do I recommend going on a boat trip,great value for money and the swimming off the boat world class,if you into history ephesus was out if this world and definitely take a ferry to kos island..the family that own ali baba are lovely and would help at any opportunity.overall it was a nice holiday just what the doctor ordered..but we wouldn't rush back to gumbet it's a bit like maguluf without all the pissed teenagers..we felt bodrum was better for shopping too you could get a better deal in bodrum.

Stayed for a week, lovely family run hotel very welcoming, after reading some bad reviews I was a bit surprised we loved our stay, room was basic but was always cleaned, air con worked a treat. Lovely quiet hotel, not far from shop, restaurants. Would definitely recommend this hotel
