Liman Hotel Gümüslük - Adult Only

Lovely little hotel right on the port. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Quiet despite the busy promenade below.

The location, the breakfasts and the staff were all excellent

No complaints at all

Our stay at Liman Hotel in Gümüşlük started with a little bit of a shock, arriving with our luggage and having to navigate our way from the transfer drop-off to find the hotel wasn’t quite what we expected! But once we settled in, we quickly began to appreciate what makes this little place special. The location is excellent, right in the heart of Gümüşlük, with absolutely beautiful views over the bay. Our room was neat, clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed waking up each morning to breakfast and those unmatched views. What stood out most for us, though, were the people. A very special mention to Moslem and Erdhaan, who genuinely made our time at Liman memorable. They took the time to sit and speak with us, share stories about themselves, their backgrounds and where they come from. Those conversations may seem like a small thing, but for us they added something very personal to our stay and are part of what we’ll remember about Gümüşlük. We’d also like to say a special thank you to the lovely lady who cleaned our room each day. Unfortunately, we can’t remember her name, but her care and attention certainly didn’t go unnoticed. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning, loved being right in the heart of Gümüşlük and the views from Liman are truly difficult to beat. It may have taken us a moment to adjust when we first arrived, but by the time we left, Liman had become a memorable part of our Bodrum experience, not just because of where it is, but because of the people we met there. Thank you to the Liman team for having us. 🇹🇷🤍

There were, however, a few small details that we feel could make a meaningful difference to the overall guest experience. It would have been helpful to know in advance that vehicles cannot access the hotel directly and that there is a walk from the parking/drop-off area to the property, particularly when arriving with luggage. There was also no assistance with our bags on arrival as there is no front desk, I had to leave my wife in the parking with our luggage, find the hotel, walk up to the restaurant and ask for help. For a boutique hotel, this is one of those small touches of hospitality that can go a long way, especially after a long journey. The other aspect we found challenging was the noise later in the evenings. The hotel restaurant remains lively until quite late and our room was rather unusually positioned directly alongside the dining area. It also appeared that both hotel residents and outside restaurant guests passed through the main hotel entrance, so there was a fair amount of movement, conversation and noise late into the night. In all our travels, having a guest room quite so close to an active dining space was certainly a first for us. Perhaps guests booking these particular rooms could simply be made aware of this beforehand, especially those who prefer an earlier or quieter evening. These are relatively small details and certainly don’t take away from the things we enjoyed about Liman. The location is fantastic, the views are beautiful, and overall we had a good and memorable stay. With a little additional attention to the arrival experience and late-night noise, it could make an already lovely stay that much better.

The views from our room and the terrace bar were delightful. The food at breakfast was ok.

The bedroom was very small, the decoration basic and the maintenance of the room wasn’t good. The main light didn’t work, the toilet seat and lid wouldn’t stay up (both reported but not attended to). There was no safe, some of the bathroom fittings were in a poor state of repair, and nowhere to hang the wet towels. No cushions on balcony seats. No welcome really when we arrived and had to carry luggage up stairs as no lift. The breakfast staff were poor on two of the 3 days we stayed, showing little attention or service. The resort is bustling and the hotel overlooks the main pedestrian thoroughfare with a relaxed,but not quiet, bohemian feel to it. The hotel fits in to that basic, simple atmosphere. It was the most expensive hotel we stayed in throughout our long trip to Turkey, was the worst in terms of quality and service and was not value for money.
