Set in a peaceful bay with turquoise water and elegant gardens, Azka Hotel Bodrum offers comfort, style and genuine Turkish hospitality. I spent a summer week here in July 2025, enjoying its bright, spotless rooms and relaxed, well-kept atmosphere. Meals were a highlight: excellent local dishes, great desserts and that delicious Turkish flatbread (pide) served at the seaside restaurant alongside pizza and pasta. The spa, hammam and large modern gym make it easy to unwind or stay active during the day. Staff were polite and efficient, though only a few at reception spoke fluent English. Evenings are quiet, with no animation — instead, live performances by well-known Turkish singers bring a refined local touch. Prices are on the higher side, but the quality, cleanliness and serene bayfront location fully justify it. Perfect for travellers seeking calm, sea views and authentic Turkish charm.

We decided spontaneously to stay here for one night in early October, and had a great time. The hotel was extremely clean, and our room with sea view had been updated (although the shower was a bit small). We found the breakfast quite tasty (it included a great variety of foods, including a big bowl of kaymak and honeycomb). The check in clerk was a young lady who was very friendly and spoke good English. The pool area and private beach were immaculate; the weather in October was perfect for swimming without getting too hot. There is a private parking deck next door and a water taxi to take you to central Bodrum. Overall a quite nice place.

Such an amazing vacation! We have been to many hotels in Turkey and abroad. This hotel exceeded our expectations especially the personnel. Literally every one was super kind, professional and went out of their way to provide an excellent service. Special thanks to the team at the beach restaurant and the beach bar. The alcoholic drinks were super good and of the highest quality. The food is a bit repetitive at the main restaurant but you can have pizza, burger, pasta and other dishes which are also of a great quality at the beach restaurant. The hotel's private beach is one of the best in Turkey. Clean, crystal clear and calm all the time. No waves at all and suitable for kids. Don't be put off by negative comments. We were a little apprehensive when we read the comments but everything turned out to be perfect. We had the deluxe sea view double room and it was perfect for us. Beautiful terrace with sun loungers, chairs and an amazing view. The room was comfortable, clean and spacious. We highly recommend this hotel if you want to have an unforgettable holiday! We'll be back next year for sure.

Stayed 7 nights late September 2025 - all-inclusive. The first thing to say is that if you are not Turkish, do not book this hotel. It caters only for Turkish people, with the majority of staff only speaking Turkish. Pros - not many It is a lovely building in a great location in a bay with a private beach and cordoned swimming area. It is within walking distance of Bodrum - or you can take a water taxi to Bodrum harbour - €4/TL150 per person. The best area to relax is the lobby bar/terrace with a variety of seating options and cocktails (although the bar staff need to practice their Tequila Sunrises). The rooms are adequate with a good amount of storage space and furniture. Cons - too many Catering - As an all-inclusive hotel you expect the mealtimes to be a highlight. Not here. The main dining room itself is a boring room with just LED ceiling lights and plain walls. The tables wobble and the chairs are uncomfortable. The food was basically the same every night - re-hashed versions of beef/turkey/chicken/lamb stews - dried fish - tasteless desserts. There were no "Theme Nights", which are normally a feature of such hotels. Most importantly- the food was often cold. The buffet dishes were not heated adequately and some had no lids to retain the heat. I asked about this and was told that they were broken - could someone not just buy replacements? Chefs wore blue gloves continuously while performing different tasks - instead of washing hands between tasks. Some cutlery was dirty. Table service was poor - I had to wander around the room to get a waiter to serve drinks. Breakfast catered only for Turkish people. There were no pork items. No cereal or fresh milk. No fresh fruit juice. No English tea. Coffee was only from a machine. The sausages were disgusting - the chips were cold - the only thing worth eating were the freshly cooked omelettes. Beach Bar - The beach bar does not serve food (burger and chips) until 1230 - which is lunch time at the restaurant. Therefore, you cannot get any substantial food between 1000 and 1230. Patisserie - The patisserie has a good selection of items - cakes - ice cream- gözleme. However, the staff cannot be bothered to either serve to table or clear tables. Very strange. Room Cleaning - Our room was not cleaned until about 1600 each day, until I complained about the lateness. It appears that they deal with checkout rooms first. After I complained, our room was cleaned at about 1000. Entertainment - There was good live entertainment on the first two nights of our stay - 24-25 September. After that, however, it stopped. I was told it was "off season". We had to put up with awful muzak - cover versions of old songs played on loop. The only music from that time was from the Prive hotel next door or from the idiots on boats moored offshore. Wi-Fi - The Wi-Fi was slow and patchy. I had to ask at reception how to log on - no written information given. Reception - The reception staff did not know what day of the week it was. Anything you asked they did not know. When I checked out, the lady took the keys from me without a word.

Lots of delicious food with variety! The service and the location is pretty good and the beach is also very clean. The only thing I didn't like is that my room had some small errors, e.g. I couldn't close the window in my bathroom or the toilet flushing is a little bit jammed (It flushes excellently but I have to manually push the flushing back in order for it to stop). All in all, a 10/10 experience. Would come here again!
