As a solo traveller, who likes to explore, I found the property perfectly located for all aspects of a short visit to Bodrum. It is 2 mins away from both the shops, beach and marina. There are great places to eat at good prices really close by and the higher end restaurants were just a few minutes away. Local buses to any places of interest were just a short walk away. Kos was a 20min ferry ride away and the marina was just about 10 mins walk. The accommodation was great for my needs and I had plenty of space and great facilities. The wi-fi worked faultlessly and I managed to catch up on some course work whilst here. Jen and Tahir were the perfect hosts - apart from Tahir being a massive Liverpool supporter! :( Breakfast was huge and traditional Turkish breakfast with eggs, breads and cheeses. All in all, a great stay and highly recommended

Jen was extremely accomodating and helped out with a boat trip and a guide for Istanbul, thanks Jen. Property was a stone’s throw from the beach, restaurants and shops. Great breakfast and comfortable room.

I would highly recommend this amazing little hotel in the heart of Bodrum! Jen and Tahir are more than amazing hosts, they are kind hearted people who go above and beyond to ensure everyone is having a great stay. Our last day, my partner left his passport in the hotel room and Tahir got in a taxi to bring it to us at the ferry terminal. We are so grateful for their hospitality and kindness during our time in Bodrum and would recommend this hotel to anyone! The room was very comfortable, the hotels outdoor area is a beautiful respite, and the breakfast was some of the best we had in Turkey. Thank you, Jen and Tahir!

This hotel is a gem! Perfectly located in the heart of Bodrum's marina area, with a 1 min. walk to the beach. Rooms are more spacious than standard so a big plus. Beautifully designed inside and out with recent renovations make it a great comfy attraction. Then you add the fanstastic hosts Tahir and his wife Jen. They made us feel like family. Always willing and accomodating. The breakfast was delicious and the complementary tea and coffee throughout the day was another added bonus. We felt like we were at home. If you are thinking about Bodrum, then definitely consider this gem. We will definitely be staying here again on our next visit.

We would give this hotel 6 stars if we could! It is in the ideal location in Bodrum, with super easy access to the main areas of town, but away from the noise. The rooms are lovely and homely, and the hotel is clean and tidy. The best part about this hotel are the incredible staff who run it. They are super helpful, and they live on site so are available whenever needed. They were able to help us sort out an issue with a ferry we had booked, and also were able to cater to our tastes for the breakfast they offer. We would highly recommend this hotel, and will definitely stay here again if we ever find ourselves back in Bodrum.

Jen the host responded to my queries and contacted me prior my arrival and coordinated with the receptionist Amy. Amy the receptionist took care of me, she was so nice and like me a catlover. There was no communication barrier, Jen and Amy are English speakers. Free WiFi even in the room. Unlike other hotels where WiFi is only available in the common area. I like the comfortable firm mattress and pillows with clean and odorless sheets and towels. You know their clean by the look and smell. I Love the Quiet neighborhood. Walkable streets with restaurants and general merchandise stores nearby. Very close to the Bodrum castle and Beach.

This amazing hotel couldnt be better located. Minutes away from the beach and centre of bodrum. Both the bedroom and bathroom was spotlessly clean and very very welcoming. Just what you need after a busy day. All of the staff were amazing and went out of the way to cater to all of our needs day and nite. The owners Jen and Tahir were super friendly and again extremely helpful. You really couldnt ask for more. The breakfasts are sooo good too. You truly are spoilt for choice. A huge thankyou to everyone at Merih for making my stay so wonderful.

We were very lucky to find this cozy, charming hotel with a wonderful location just two minutes from the sea and close to the city center. Everything here was wonderful! Clean, comfortable rooms. Delicious, hearty breakfasts in the courtyard under a sprawling tree. But the best thing about this hotel is its owner, Jen - a true gem! She is a model of genuine kindness and hospitality! Jen was very helpful in recommending shops and restaurants, and she quickly resolved any issues we had. Jen, thank you so much from all of us for the excellent stay and great mood! Without you, Bodrum wouldn't have been as wonderful!

We absolutely loved our stay and it was a 10/10. The hosts went out of their way to make us feel at home, the rooms were lovely, the breakfast was delicious, the location is incredible and the whole experience was so perfect. We would love to come back again but next time for much longer!! There are no hosts better than Jen and Tahir and we would stay here again in a heartbeat. They provided such great local recommendations and helped us get around the city and offered to help us in so many thoughtful and appreciated ways. It’s such a lovely community that’s inclusive, welcoming and relaxing while being right in the heart of the action. We already miss this hotel and the people!

Having already stayed in the wonderful apartment (Ilya 2) also owned by this hotel, we booked here on our last night in Bodrum, after spending a few days in Kos. The hotel is a short walk from the ferry and in the centre of Bodrum with an abundance of restaurants and shops close by. The welcome from the owner was great, as was the comfortable bed and a lovely breakfast with homemade cake! Our flight was in the evening and Jen allowed us to stay well passed check out time, which was really appreciated, especially as the weather wasn't great.
