Booked through Expedia, walked in the door and the man said, "I know who you are, you must be Thomas", only six rooms (hence the term boutique), set upon a hillside, judging from width of passageways, alleys, pedestrian streets all of 15 feet wide, the old town of Bodrum has not changed for 3000 years; wide enough for a horse and wagon, or just a horse, or simply walking. Wonderful area, a few minutes to the marina with million Dollar cabin cruisers, some large, broad, wood and simply elegant, majestic massive Crusader castle, waterfront with countless restaurants, there are three or four coves, one next to marina has more boats, some beach area, just wonderful to walk everyday, explore and experience new things. Bodrum is an outdoor museum, a real treasure.
Oh, the Hotel has three floors, uppermost is the breakfast room, windows three sides, tremendous view, not locked such that it is possible to sit up at night with a laptop and enjoy the night view and a couple of Turkish beers.
Visiting from Boston with Thai girlfriend, she said, "I want to go back and stay three weeks" which is exactly what we are doing end of June... Boston is marvelous, but also a bit boring and predictable. Not in any hurry to return home!
