Arts Hotel Bodrum Yalikavak

What an amazing stay at this hotel! We booked 1 room for 3 persons and were so surprised at how beautiful and big the room was. We were all so comfortable and they made sure to accommodate for 3, with 3 slippers, 3 gowns etc. I was there for my birthday and they were so sweet to prepare a little surprise for me! The staff were super helpful and accommodating and the hotel facilities were beautiful and clean. I will recommend you everyone!

We left Arts Hotel Bodrum extremely disappointed.

From the beginning of our stay, our bathroom smelled like sewage. We called reception several times, but the issue was never resolved. Spending a vacation with a constant sewage smell in a supposedly luxury hotel is simply unacceptable.

The hotel also has no sandy beach. The only access to the sea is via a staircase, and the steps are steep and uncomfortable, making it difficult and unsafe to get in and out of the water.

The biggest shock came at check-out. We were presented with an outrageous bill. Two iced coffees cost 1,180 TL, one pasta cost 1,960 TL, two burgers cost 3,060 TL, and a can of Coke cost 390 TL. These prices are excessive, even for a luxury hotel.

Even more concerning, we were charged based on room slips that were not signed by us. We disputed these charges, but we were still required to pay.

Another shocking experience was the hotel’s visitor policy. On three separate occasions, we were charged €100 because friends of my 14-year-old daughter briefly visited our room. They did not stay overnight, no extra bed or accommodation was provided, and they were only in the room for about two hours.

What upset us the most was how the situation was handled. A receptionist named Emre confronted my daughter’s 14-15-year-old friends away from the lobby, in a secluded area, and they felt intimidated after being told that the police could be called. They were just teenage girls, and the entire situation was handled in an inappropriate and upsetting manner.

When we questioned the outrageous prices and charges, a staff member simply said, “We only do business for two months anyway.” That response perfectly reflected the attitude we experienced throughout our stay.

A luxury hotel should offer transparency, professionalism, and respect for its guests. Instead, we experienced unresolved maintenance issues, unreasonable prices, disputed charges, an unfriendly approach to young visitors, and a complete lack of customer care.

During our 10-day stay, we were charged approximately 100,000 TL in extras alone. Between the excessive food and beverage prices, disputed charges, and visitor fees, the final bill was shocking and left us feeling exploited rather than valued as guests.

We left feeling overcharged, disrespected, and deeply disappointed. We will never return and would not recommend this hotel to anyone.

Best hotel in Bodrum the stuff are helpful , welcoming, friendly, and the language was not a challenge Mr. Yaqub from the management team always around all the guests asking if you need any assistance. Thank you all for the best hospitality ever

- perfect location for local beach clubs and the marina, it was a 5 minute drive.
- our hotel room was stunning.
- the gym had a decent selection of equipment.

Kahvalti sabahlari daha erken baslayabilir Otelde servisi begendim . Otelınızde 11-15 agustos tarıhlerınde 221 nolu odada kaldım bu kısa tatilimde otel personelınızden Kerime Sütdelisi hanıma gostermış oldugu ilgiye alakaya vede işini severek yapmasına hayran kaldım. Boyle yoğun bir sezonda otel müşterilerine göstermiş olduğu yardımseverlik ve guzel servisi için kendısıne tesekkür etmek isterim..

The views from the room and the location was great! The breakfast spread was also delicious.

We booked this ‘5 star’ hotel and when we arrived the hotel was beautiful and the room was huge. However, we quickly realised none of the members of staff spoke much English. When we went to breakfast which was included the staff told us there was no menu and all we could have is a Turkish breakfast? Which we didn’t like so immediately had no option but to eat out now. The WiFi as well which is described as being fast didn’t even work by the pool and didn’t work at the ‘beach club’ they describe but really all the staff are just clustered at the top of it and u have track down staff to ask for a drink. ‘fully equipped gym’ is what is described. The treadmills both didn’t work.

The terrible staff members at this hotel particularly ‘Caner’ is making his friends drive customers around in what’s is ILLEGAL UNLISCENCED TAXIS for double sometimes triple the price. After trying to manipulate us by telling us yellow taxis are a scam. Me and my boyfriend waited for his friend to come who charged us £25 for a £10 journey we quickly found out in the yellow taxi back. My partner told him the next day we want yellow cab none of your friends. He lied said he booked it after 45 minutes of it not turning up we called ourselves and it came in 5 minutes under our booking!!!

What was funny is when we confronted Caner about the unlicensed taxis he was putting us in for the first few days of our holiday, he threatened us with the police. When he realised my partner was not intimidated by this, he proceeded to make up stories that the police told him we needed to ‘go to the police station’ but couldn’t explain why!?

Money grabbing and scamming customers. When we mentioned this to people at the pool, they said they didn’t even realise and spent there whole holiday putting money in this Caners pocket. The whole trip we was made to feel uncomfortable as we had to pay to call the taxi line rather than ask the staff members of the hotel to arrange a taxi. We will come back to Bodrum every year now, and we always go for a 5* experience. We will never come back and tell every person we know that the hotel is a scam.
