Mars Otel is clean, peaceful and well situated for exploring the exciting Bodrum Peninsula. The staff are not only very friendly and kind (they were super helpful when my eye swelled like a grapefruit after a mysterious beach-insect encounter), but highly knowledgeable of the area and eager to book our day trips at competitive prices. Besides a generous breakfast daily... More

Spent a long weekend here in April 2012, referred by Lonely Planet. Was looking for something budget friendly, and centrally located. Mars Otel fit the bill! My host was very welcoming, and helped arrange excursions. I booked directly through the hotel's website - confirmation email went into spam, but reservation was secured.

I only stayed here one night, but the family who runs the hotel was especially friendly and helpful. When I missed my bus and came back for another night, they had no more vacancies but very quickly found me a cheaper room elsewhere and had the hotel owner come pick me up. All this in under 10 minutes. I didn't... More

Mars Otel was the 6th place we stayed in Turkey. We're not fussy, and are always at the budget end. This place is recommended in a lot of guides and does well here. So I was utterly baffled at what happened to us. We booked one night here as were flying out of Bodrum, Booked well in advance, handed over... More
