Artunc Hotel Bodrum

Dear readers of this review, good day to you. I rarely write reviews, only very good or very bad. Today the review was VERY bad, they really offended me, and in return you will receive a nasty review. Well, dear readers, you can now judge who is right and think about whether you need such a vacation. I booked the Artunc Hotel in the wonderful Turkish city of Bodrum for just 4 days (from September 17 to 21, 2022). I arrived with my wife in the evening, after the plane, got pretty tired and fell asleep, even forgot to kiss my wife. And the next morning I looked around and was disappointed, the hotel for 100 euros per night turned out to be somehow small, dirty and did not excite any aesthetic feelings at all. And in the morning my wife refused to kiss me because of all this “beauty”. Of course, to be honest, the old part of Bodrum turned out to be not very good, a dirty, smelly port, and on the first, second line near the sea there was a Turkish market, hello from the 90s. What to do? I'm upset myself. My wife generally says that she is leaving here right away, she barely persuaded her to look around, take a dip in the sea, and enjoy Turkish cuisine. At the family council, they decided to spend two days in this hotel and cancel two days; to that joy, they had not yet paid the money for the hotel. Which is what I immediately told the manager at the reception, I’m moving out tomorrow, I tell you from you, I’ll pay you in full for two hundred hard-earned euros for the two days you’ve lived. They tell me in response that the trouble is that an intermediary called Ostrovok.ru will take a huge commission for two unspent days, which will cause the hotel to suffer irreparable financial damage. I immediately called this Ostrovok, they promised not to take any commission from the hotel and cancel the reservation. The next day I come to the reception, I say take the key and money for two days and, so to speak, are ready. They give me money, of course, but you owe us 400 euros. Wait guys, why is it 400, if I only lived for two days, therefore, I owe 200. A respectable hotel owner shows me a reservation on the computer, like I promised to pay 400 euros. Pay up or I'll call the police now. Then I took a break, went to refresh myself, on an empty stomach and war is not war, I swam in the Aegean Sea. I come back, and my number with my things and passports is blocked. Well, I say, call the police, let people judge. Turkish policemen arrived, who turned out to be good guys, handsome men in caps; they did not put me in prison, due to the lack of evidence of a crime. So we didn’t find a common language with the Turkish hotelier, he wanted to get 400 euros, and I wanted to pay 200 for 2 days, which in my opinion is quite a lot for such a kennel. I am attaching a photo of all the dirtiness of the room, as well as a receipt for payment for the hotel, so that the owner of the hotel, Artunk, does not pretend that this is not about him. If you, dear reader, are interested in the question of how it ended, who surrendered in this battle on Turkish soil, I will answer, ours won, the hotelier was compensated for the penalty by the Ostrovok.ru company, for which many thanks to them, respect and respect, especially to the manager Victoria and everyone who dealt with my problem. And so the conclusion: 1 star goes to the Artunk Hotel

Before making the reservation, I read the reviews about the hotel, and what they talked about most was the excellent location and the service provided by the hotel owners. I only have praise and confirmation about all the positive comments about this hotel. The location couldn't be better, in the center of Bodrum, with easy access to everything, and although with easy access to bars, restaurants, shops and the beach, the hotel is extremely quiet, providing peaceful nights of sleep and rest. Special praise to the hotel owners, they who welcome us and respond to all requests with kindness and goodwill. Mr Erram is impeccable: helpful, welcoming, super helpful. I recommend the hotel and intend to return one day.

Excelente hotel boutique. Muy bien ubicado cerca del centro, del mar, del Puerto y la playa. Servicio y personal maravillosos. Modernas habitaciones con aire acondicionado, secador d pelo, caja de seguridad y frigobar. Definitivamente uno de los mejores lugares para quedarse en Bodrum. Hacías por todo! Arrivederci!
