Diamond of Bodrum Hotel

Taj Ahmed

This is not a 5-star hotel and feels very misleading compared to how it’s advertised. •Paid extra for a garden view upgrade but there was no garden view at all. •Room had no air conditioning, very poor water pressure, and the bathroom had no ventilation. •The pool area is overcrowded with no space for guests. •Food is extremely bland, desserts all taste the same – best to avoid eating here. •Valet parking is terrible and not properly managed. •Definitely not suitable for families. •Staff service is inconsistent – a few were polite, but many were very rude. The only positive about this hotel is the view.

This hotel is definitely not 5 star Although advertised as a 5 star, this hotel was more like a 3* at most. The only 5* worthy mention is the view from the hotel The air conditioning in the room was appalling, in 45 degree heat this proved to be our biggest issue. You could not sleep at night or cool down in the day, it was unbearable. We called reception to ask for a fan, but they claimed they don’t have any. Shortly after a man came and checked out the air conditioning in our room but did not alter or fix anything,said the air con would work in 30 minutes but nothing changed (even though we already had the air con on for 4 hours prior and the room remained unbearable). The room stayed extremely hot and humid the whole stay. 2nd issue we faced was the valet parking, we dropped off the car outside the hotel as instructed, dropped off the keys and got a receipt, however at one point the car was left parked on the road outside for 4 hours. We spoke to reception as we had noticed the car had not been moved, turns out the staff had lost the car keys and forgot to move the car Paid extra to upgrade our room to the garden view, as you can tell from the pictures the view was limited and the room was small and basic . Additionally the water pressure in the bathroom sink and shower was low and the water would not always be warm. My partner does not drink alcohol and when ordering a Coke he was given a vodka Coke. Mistakes with drink orders happened on multiple occasions. I understand that mistakes can be made occasionally but this added to the disappointment. No sun beds available, you had to come down for exactly 8am to collect your towel and be able to reserve a sun bed, which was nearly impossible due to limited space for guests. Food quality was not great nor the availability of different options. Approximately 6-7 main dishes available which were repetitive. Some dishes tasted like they were microwaved/reheated and very limited options for desserts and snacks. Drinks were not great either compared to any other ‘5*’ hotel, this was not 5 star quality whatsoever. Pros Amazing view from hotel (great sunsets from the terrace) and good location Majority of staff were friendly Rooms were cleaned daily (although mini fridge not replenished at all) Access to small beach area although limited sun beds available again after 8am Overall although the hotel is affordable compared to other options in bodrum, I would personally not return to this hotel and do not believe it is a 5* property. However the view was beautiful, location was close to Bodrum centre and the staff were friendly.

I recently stayed at the Diamond of Bodrum hotel and overall had a lovely experience. The location is fantastic—right by the sea and close to the city center, which made exploring super convenient. The view from the room was absolutely breathtaking and definitely a highlight of the stay. The food was great with a good variety, and the customer service was top-notch—staff were always friendly and helpful. I also highly recommend trying the spa procedures there; it was one of the best parts of my trip—very relaxing and well done. However, I must say that the rooms were a bit disappointing for a 5-star hotel. They were clean but definitely not up to 5-star standards; I’ve seen better rooms in 3-star hotels. A little renovation or upgrade would go a long way. Still, if you're after a beautiful view, great food, and excellent service, it's worth a visit—just don't expect luxury room standards

We've just had the best holiday at this hotel. The hotel and location are 5*. Firstly our arrival and check in went very well. Staff was welcoming & friendly. We wasn't keen on the location of our room and was quickly relocated to another room, thank you. Reception staff also managed to locate a clothes iron for us to use. Our room was lovely & clean. Everyday the room was cleaned, given fresh towels and refreshed the bathroom products. I wish I had the name of the cleaner who looked after our room 2704 daily, she did an excellent job, thank you. The food was lovely, a good wide variety of food on offer everyday, breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant was clean. The restaurant staff work very hard, they are very friendly, very attentive. I'd like to say a special thank you to Burhan, Seydi, Imam, who are very organised and work very hard, thank you. The bars are fully stocked with everything you could want. Most staff are smiley and welcoming. A special mention to Hediye, who works very efficiently with a smile on her face, and makes the best Long Island Ice Tea. Although I have mentioned some names, I want to point out that ALL staff I came across was very helpful and all worked very hard. I never used the pool or other facilities, but did see they were all very clean and well kept. This hotel was the main reason why we had such a lovely holiday. Thank you, and see you next year!
