The staff are kind and helpful. The location would be nice in hot season, there are lots of shops close by.

The hostel is located in Gumbet and not in downtown Bodrum. However, Gumbet is where all the bars are located and it's less than a two minute walk to all the action. Beach is an easy 5 minute a walk. It's a 20 lira cab ride from Otogar to the hostel. Rooms are reasonably clean - depends on your standards. Staff tries to be helpful, but could be made easier if any of them spoke English. Staff couldn't even provide information regarding bus schedule and restaurants..to me that's basic info.

Place was as described on website, though a bit rundown. Our toilet was all stained and the shower had no hot water, which was annoying. Staff were friendly but some spoke no English and didn't really try to make sure they had understood what you needed before they just assumed everything was fine. Food was really good and very reasonably priced - catered for vegetarians at the last minute as well, which was great.

Great location, close to shops and the beach. Recommend taking a day trip out on a boat which you can organise through the hostel. Very friendly staff. Nice rooms, all air conditioned. Good free breakfast + wifi.

Don't bother with their free shuttle service from the bus station - they stood us up after confirming to pick us up the night before. Room was okay - shower would flood pretty quickly. Breakfast was nice. When we went, this was pretty much just Turkish people.

We had such an amazing stay here the staff were super friendly and helpfull with organising a number of activities including our accommodation in Istanbul/airport transfer etc. One night we had dinner at the hotel which was fish it was so fresh and I think better than most restaurants in town. The hotel had everything we needed on a budget and location is great just around the corner from bar street. I would definitely go back to relax by the pool or be entertained by the friendly staff!!

Just stayed here one night it's a lovely hotel with a huge pool and nice breakfast. Everythings clean and the staff are very nice. It's only a bus from the main station so no stress there. Only thing was that our room, a four person private, was a bit small and the aircon didn't work. Apart from that we loved it there!
