Book Kempinski Hotels & Resorts Bodrum accommodation from NZ$114

The overall experience was absolutely amazing. The breakfast is the same everyday but it is delicious. It’s an omelette served with olives, selection of cheeses and sauces, a traditional Turkish breakfast. The room we got was spacious and very clean. The view from the hotel was breathtaking - you can see the castle and the water. The only potential difficulty is the hill leading up to the property but if I could do it being 22 weeks pregnant I think it’s doable for most, and the view makes up for it. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I’m coeliac and they provided gluten free bread for me. I hope to be back there at some point in the future.

The front rooms have great sea views out over Bodrum. The hotel is large and modern and tastefully decorated but does have a slight corperate feel to it. Plenty of parking at the hotel. It is a long way from the centre of Bodrum with no obvious local shops or restaurants. It can be difficult to get to as it up small streets off a busy dual carriage way and only easliy accesseible from one direction - downhill. The hotel restaurant is pleasent but very expensive.

Clean room,

Despite its scenic location, landscaped layout and stylish rooms, this hotel currently lacks the standards of a truly higher end offering. Staff are very polite and friendly but not at all experienced. Breakfast was quite lacklustre, despite the bounty and variety of local produce. Large cleaning carts parked in guest toilets, conversations interrupted with POS machines to settle extra charges in haste signal some training and managerial issues. The hotel group may be expanding a bit too fast and its service standard is not in keeping with a five-star at all.

The staff at check-in were very kind and helpful. On the first day, I was given an “upgraded” room, but since it had one large and one small bed, there wasn’t much space to move around not ideal for a five-night stay. The next day, they changed it to a regular room on an upper floor, which was much better. The minibar wasn’t cooling, but I didn’t really need it, so I mentioned it at check-out. The location is very central, the pool area is nice and never crowded, and the breakfast was lovely. The lady making omelettes had such positive energy! However, there was no filter coffee available at breakfast or at the bar , only machine coffee.( It is a bit dissapointing I have to say ) Overall, though, it’s a nice hotel with good value for money. During check-out, staff could maybe be a bit more engaging (for example, asking how the stay was ), but everything else was great!
