Recently stayed at the Karen Hotel for 10 nights in May 2010. We chose the Karen as it was a good deal from the Travel Agency and offered an All Inclusive option which was close to the beach. Our first few days were fine....we got a bed around the pool, the food was fine... more

My friend and I booked this hotel before we read the reviews and were concerned that so many people were disappointed with Karen. We had nothing to worry about, the hotel was perfectly fine. Our room was clean, the staff were friendly and the food was good. The owner... more

for a cheap holiday in a three star hotel...it was much better than I expected. The hotel was kept very clean, the staff were friendly (although few spoke English). The food was mostly local fare- which I enjoyed very much. There were 10 choices on the cold buffet and... more

Having been going to Marmaris for 18 years, this was our first winter as the resort is only in its second winter open. What a disappointment. It looks incredibly neglected, especially along the beach and the beach front. Goldtrail is a sham of a company, it even has a... more

Tried and tested the Karen Hotel in 2008, after finding a very reasonable all inclusive offer on the Wings Abroad website. Three of us went, 20 year old females, and we all thought the holiday was fantastic, no problems with tour operator and the travelling went very... more

what a joke
what a joke this hotel is: food is terrible its misleading as its not a buffet restaurant you will have to eat whatever they put on your plate ( very small portions) only four hot plates in the restaurant containing the same every day pasta chicken chips and vegetables only thing thats buffet is the salad bar ( ok if your a rabbit ) this hotel is leading tourist and travel agents as it does not have a pool table or table tennis nor a big screen by the pool only 12 guests staying in hotel for the first four days bar... more
not fussy but
i want to start by saying that the holiday was extremely cheap so on that basis was not expecting fantastic things but... i think our only complaint was the food or lack of. at breakfast the chef would look like he wanted to kill you if you asked for food. it seemed that he put a certain amount on show and when it was gone it was gone! in the evening you had to point to what you wanted and he served you the smallest portions ever! in fact we asked for more and again the 'look'. from our balcony we could see people queing for food in the... more
Worse hotel . Food poor Menu nothing but chicken.Only lager ,horrible wine .
Stayed Sept 08. Poor Menu Nothing but chicken (boiled stewed &Fried)My shower was strung up by two holes in ceiling and string. Mean with toilet rolls. Only lager, horrible wine.& soft drinks for British.Others whiskey was kept under bar. Manager & Chief were arrogant. Would not go to the Karen Hotel again and would not travel by GoldTrail. Poor value for inclusive.
Loved The Hotel Karen
I have just came back from The Karen Hotel I was there with my Husband, Sister and her husband it is the first time I have been all inclusive it was very good all round and I would go back there again the food was very good and very fresh for breakfast there was cereal, omelet , bioled eggs cheese meats salad and plenty of fresh bread. With a range of rice, pasta, wedge chips, salad, chicken portions.or kebabs beef stew chichen stew.for lunch and dinners. and for tea there was cakes to die for.The bar has plenty of chose with sprite diet... more
Gr8 hospital :)
My 14 year old daughter and I stayed at Hotel Karen, all inclusive for 2 weeks and we found the hotel to be satisfactory overall. Plus points were - location (very close to beach, and main tourist shops), pool (adequate size, clean, sufficient sunbeds), cleanliness of hotel and rooms, afternoon tea and cakes (hotel is linked to Karen Patisseries), walk-in shower, free satelite TV, some friendly staf and helpful Management. Negative points were - food (was adequate for myself but not good for children or fussy eaters. Pasta... more
NEVER AGAIN
Just returned from the Karen Hotel and I must say this is the worse 3* All Inclusive Hotel I have ever stayed in. The all-inclusive bar is inside the reception area, very limited stock - local gin, vodka (which tasted terrible), whiskey, raki. Pera draught beer, soft drinks. The pool bar, where we all have to sit as it is so hot inside the hotel, we cannot use unless we pay. You are allowed only 1 drink at a time, you cannot get another drink if you still have a glass with a bit in it on your table. The food - every day,... more
Food for thought
Just come back from this hotel. Service and rooms ok, but having been on many an all inclusive holiday can say that this hotel is sadly lacking. I was astounded to see many stray cats around, some of who even came into the dining area when people were eating. Though I know not why as the food left alot to be desired, in fact this is the only time that I have been forced to eat most meals out on an all inclusive package as the food was so bad. When there was actually something worth eating, instead of the usual self service. a waiter stood... more
Lovely clean, friendly and convenient hotel.
We were placed at the Karen Hotel on an accommodation upon arrival deal with our tour company. As we were on our honeymoon, we were a little nervous but so very pleased when we arrived at the hotel. The staff were excellent, nothing was too much trouble. They happily upgraded our hotel to a sea view at no extra cost and the rooms were a very good size with all the facilities. The pool was kept very clean and the food, although quite basic, was fresh and plentiful - we certainly ate very well. I would happily recommend this hotel.... more
friendly karen Hotel
Me my wife and grandaughter stayed at the Karen Hotel (all inc )for two weeks in July 2007, we found the staff and management very helpfull and friendly. The hotel was very clean the food was basic but very nice there were no queues and we always got a table at meal times. The pool was clean and sun beds around the pool were available throughout the day, the staff are always available to help and have fun with the kids. If we visit Marmaris again we would go back to this hotel every time Steve, Jacky and Ellie. From... more
The best hotel....
We went to the Karen hotel last august (14th).Sayin we i mean me, my husband and my youngest child(10). As we had never been to anywhere in turkey before we did not no any think about it and none of our family had been either. When we got to the hotel our first impressions were good. We were greeted by a a friendly man that took us to our room. There is 1 lift ans 2 stair cases. The waiters care for you and nearly everynight there is turkish nights on. The food is sadly a 2 star but however there are cheap places to go with 5 star food :D.... more
