Istankoy Hotel - Bodrum

All fine, but room size.

I greatly enjoyed the room with clean fresh towels etc, the bed was comfortable. It was in a comfy location near restaurants and bars.

Unfortunately Wi-Fi was pretty slow.

i had the standard room which was spotless and adequate with clean fresh towels etc. the location was great, the staff were amiable. besides, i explored an expansive public park around 10-15 minutes walk from the hotel....  

Loved the breakfast options with fresh omelettes and yummy Turkish delights! 🌟 The room was snug, but the evening quiet was a huge plus. Just wish the pool area had more sun loungers available.

The pool was nice and it's only a couple of minutes walk from the beach and the town centre.

Food and drinks were very expensive. Food was very poor quality & often inedible. Half of our party of 36 were kicked out half way through the holiday because they had overbooked and wanted to give priority to the tour operators. We were moved to an even poorer quality hotel along the road that was dirty, smelly and in disrepair.

The location was very convenient to the sea side and all the shops and restaurants in Bodrum but there was also a pool area to relax should one not want to leave the hotel.

The pool area could be loud up until sbout 12:30am so request a room that does not overlook the pool area. The shower stall leaked all over the bathroom floor.

Room sizes are frustratingly small, as there's barely enough space to move around. The pool area gets overcrowded quickly, resulting in a mad scramble for loungers every morning. Noise carries from bar activities late into the night. The dining options for evening meals feel limited compared to what's available outside the hotel, leading to frequent visits to local eateries.

I recommend this hotel to others, loved it. Thanks for a real good stay for 1830's holidays. Handy location adjacent to the Castle, camel beach and turkey on numerous occasions, it's central.

The room was comfortable modern with lovely bed. The location was good, walk from a hill and a harbour.

Perfect chill spot in Bodrum

Had a really nice stay! The location was super convenient, just a short walk to the beach. My room was clean and comfy, and I loved the outdoor dining area for breakfast-yum! One thing though, the pool area felt a bit crowded at times, but it didn't ruin my fun.

The location.

This is a hotel for people who like to party. If you are looking for a nice, quiet hotel, this is not your place. I should have paid more attention to the people complaining about the volume of the music. It is ridiculous. The music is so loud that you can not escape from it even in your room! And it goes like that after midnight. The place is croweded and the entrance and bar next to the swiming pool look like a night club. I guess there are people who would like that, but not us. We spent most of our time there trying to get busy so we have an excuse for not to have to stay in the hotel... I guess this is not the idea with any hotel. In conclusion, we did not like it. I guess the price is ok, but I would have paid a little bit more for a better hotel.

Good Location, Nice swimming pool

Second night we were there, a friday, there was a party with loud music until midnight, which was not ideal for young children. Also room was not cleaned/serviced after the first night.

The swimming pool area was refreshing. With plenty of sun loungers. The staff were attentive.

The breakfast selection could be broader. ☹️

The pool area was refreshing and well-maintained. The staff were kind, always ready to assist with a smile.

More accessible sun loungers would be appreciated.

Solo traveler perfect getaway

The staff knew my drink after just one night! I also loved that they served traditional Turkish breakfast, like fresh olives and sun-ripened tomatoes, it reminds you where you are!

It wasn't exactly budget-friendly but still manageable.
