EErnst NZ**Review of Sade Pension Hotel, Bodrum, Turkey**
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Sade Pension Hotel in Bodrum, Turkey, in May 2024. Booked via Trip.com, this quirky boutique hotel truly offers a unique and delightful experience.
Situated just a three-minute walk from the oceanfront and bustling shopping streets, Sade Pension is perfectly located. Despite its proximity to food stalls, restaurants, and vibrant nightlife, the hotel maintains a tranquil atmosphere within its own garden oasis. The serene environment makes it easy to relax and unwind.
One of the standout features of Sade Pension is its friendly and outgoing staff. The owners and their team go out of their way to ensure guests feel welcomed and cared for. The boutique-style rooms are charmingly decorated with lots of colors, plants, and art, creating a vibrant and inviting ambiance. At night, the hotel comes alive with twinkling lights, and the garden terrace, where guests can enjoy free coffee and tea, adds to the magical atmosphere.
The breakfast buffet is a highlight, offering a clean and well-presented spread. There are two hot dishes—scrambled eggs and a sausage dish—alongside plenty of cold cuts, cereals, jams, juices, and breads. One small suggestion would be to add yogurt to the selection, which would complement the already diverse offerings.
The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are kept clean. However, the bathrooms could benefit from a refit to match the charm and quality of the rest of the hotel.
Overall, my stay at Sade Pension was pleasant and enjoyable, and the price is fair for the experience provided. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone looking to enjoy Bodrum's lively atmosphere while having a peaceful retreat to return to.
KKane carneyI was there for one week. The hotel is very nice and situated in the centre of sarigerme with many shops and restaurants around. Only downfall is that the WiFi is weak at certain parts but once speaking to front staff they were very accommodating and moved me to a different room. Overall the stay was very nice
CCerenErcanThe hotel was in a great location. The local minibuses pass just in front of the hotel entrance. Everything was clean: the room, pool, bathroom. The hotel has a restaurant whose food is to die for. Plus, the restaurant offers a 10% discount to the hotel guests.
I booked a studio suite for my family and it was well-equipped with a microwave, dishwasher, kettle and even a washing machine.
The only downside I could think of may be the beach which is not amazing considering the stunning coastline of Turkiye and the pool is rather small. So if you are looking for a full on beach holiday, Turunc may not be the best bet.
We were looking for a late summer holiday with evening and morning walks, lovely food and a sea time. Thus, it was the best holiday we could ask for. In early September, the town wasn't crawling but still lively. Not too hot so we did even enjoy the noon at the beach and enjoyed our dinners by the sea with a bottle of delicious wine without having to book in advance.
We cannot thank them enough
