The staff are helpful, and the bottled water available in the pleasant lounge is appreciated. However, overall this hotel is disappointing. We are used to staying in 2 stars hotels, but this didn't meet that standard even though ranked at 3 stars. The bed was definately past its "best before date;" it was old, lumpy and uncomfortable. There was no reading lamp(s), only a single bare bulb fixture in the ceiling. No desk. No chair. No bench to place a suitcase. When I place a pair of black shorts in the shelf in the closet, it came out covered in dust which had been allowed to accumulate. Not one towel rack in the bathroom. On top of everything else, it definately was not inexpensive, but perhaps that may be a problem with Bodrum generally???
