The hotel is a three-storey building, in Gumbet Bay, carefully surrounded by palm trees and ornamental plants, 100-120 meters from its own beach. The hotel was chosen as a compromise option, in order to be close to the center of Bodrum, including its attractions, and close to the sea for a reasonable budget, and live in normal conditions. In this sense, the hotel fully justified itself.

I will list the positive and negative aspects of the rest in this hotel.
Positive:
1. Responsible and friendly work of the hotel staff, from the reception to the dish cleaners in the restaurant.
2. Good, varied cuisine in a restaurant, often with omelettes, pancakes, meat dishes freshly fried in your presence.
3. Regular cleaning of rooms, change of linen and towels.
4. Proper operation of plumbing, electrical appliances, including a minibar that served as a refrigerator.

5. Proximity to dolmush stops (there are two), for trips to the center of Bodrum and the proximity of the center of Gumbet, with its shops, restaurants, clubs, excursion bureaus.
6. Private beach with sun loungers and umbrellas, located close to the hotel.
Negative:
1. Subjectively, the most negative thing was the quality of the beach and the sea itself, both near the hotel and in Gumbet Bay as a whole. The entrance to the sea is with small stones, the sea is shallow, a river flows nearby, which silts up the bottom, you can’t see the exit to the open sea from the beach (the impression that you are at a rate). But people who are not experienced in beach holidays even liked it.
2. Poor soundproofing, but this is a problem for all budget hotels.
3. The first floor we lived on is a basement, the balcony is located at ground level, so cats and ants come to visit, there is poor ventilation, and you can’t leave the balcony open.
4. At the reception, the staff almost do not speak Russian, and English is poor, but the translator on your smartphone will help you.
The audience is mainly family, age and multinational, mostly Russian-speaking, many Poles, Turks, rarely Western Europeans. So, the hotel staff do everything for your good rest, but otherwise it all depends on the guests themselves.
