Asmin Hotel Bodrum

Disgusting hotel, everything broken in room from fridge to hairdryer, mouldy mattress, sat on chair by pool and got large stain of cat pee on trousers. Pool area and sunbeds filthy, would not leave a dog here. Smelly horrible place. When complained to manger he walked away saying all rooms same. Needs closing down, new management and a complete renovation. DO NOT BOOK HERE......

2024 yılının nisan ayında annemle gittik ve çok memnun kaldık. Bu oteli gerçekten çok beğendik, tasarımı harika, personel çok yardımsever, her şey çok iyi. Konumu muhteşem, Bodrumda dolaşmak kolay. Muhteşem konum, İstanbul'da dolaşmak kolay. Odalar iyi döşenmiş ve kahvaltı mükemmel.

One of the great features of the Asmin Hotel is that it’s located smack in the centre of the city, but at the end of a cul-de-sac, making it an incredibly quiet place. Its location is within very easy walking distance of the seaside, Bodrum Castle, bus station (especially useful for trips to or from the airport), markets, local bazaars, coffee shops and cafes, etc. Really great staff - special kudos to Leila for keeping my room so clean and comfortable; to Hasan and Mehmet for being so helpful and efficient overall: and to ‘Lady’, the resident puss who was always ‘keeping watch’ in Reception. Excellent low-season rates. Very comfortable patio on which to relax and listen to the quiet rustle of the overhanging bougainvillea. A small bar just a feet away. Free coffee from the breakfast room all day long. Breakfasts were good, specially the mouth-watering fresh bread! For me, a lover of sky-scapes, the roof at the Asmin offered unparalleled views of stunning sunrises and sunsets! The overall ambience at this place is really without parallel!

We chose this hotel because of its proximity to the central bus station. It was a bit hard to find late at night as it was down a dark side alley but when we got there we were greeted by a nice young man on reception. He kindly helped us lug our heavy cases up the staircase to our room and was happy to come back and help us when we couldn’t work out how to get into our room. It wasn’t helped by the fact that there was no light outside. Our room was extremely compact but had everything in it that we needed for the night we were there: aircon, a fridge, a small double bed. The tv only had four or five Turkish channels. The room is in need of a bit of TLC: the shower door was about to come off, the curtain was hanging down, meaning that the morning light came in, and the safe didn’t work. The shower was so tiny that when I dropped the soap I didn’t have enough space to bend down and pick it up! Rooms are set around a very pleasant central courtyard with bougainvillea, a pool and a bar. The hotel is just a few steps from the main shopping streets but despite that, it’s quiet. We were awoken by a rooster and the call to prayer, which gave it a real holiday feeling. Breakfast was an extensive Turkish buffet which we enjoyed. All the staff were extremely friendly and welcoming. A good option for a one night stay. Perhaps the larger rooms would be a better option and if you have mobility problems, do check that your room is on the ground floor.
