Mehtap Hotel

Do not even consider this excuse for a hotel,the pool is now a third of its former self, the food is over priced, and not very good. We had hot water 3 days in 25 days,we witnessed a sheep being held down and get its throat cut to slaughter it at the back of the hotel.during our stay they demolished the whole top floors apartments, if you dont buy their food and drinks they send you to coventry, a lady who took her own coffee and coffee mate was charged 3 million lira for the hot water to brew it with, around £2.50, We had no sunbeds on the beach for the first 18 days the same with the bar that wasnt built.the so called wheelchair ramp was so steep and slippery it is not safe to risk.On our departure day we was offered no help with our luggage although 8 staff stood and watched my wife struggled with it all as I am in a wheelchair with only 1 leg. the one lift works when it is in the mood, which is rare. No buffet breakfast you get what comes, when it comes. I HAVE ONLY SCRAPED THE SURFACE about this place. avoid The MEHTAP HOTEL like the plauge. be warned.

We never actually stayed in the Mehtap Hotel but our friends did we stayed there day in day out morning noon and nite !
It is in a brilliant location you honestly walk out of the hotel and your on the beach it that close !
The food is really really nice, best food we had all holiday.
Every nite the hotel came alive BELLA BUZURK THE QUEEN OF VISUAL COMEDY was absolutely fabulous no exageration ! One nite in particular i thought i was going to have a heartattack i laughed that much.
Overall the holiday was fantastic going again in july 08 cant wait staying at the mehtap roll on July 08 YYYIIIPPPPEEEE !

my sister daughter and myself stayed here last year first time in turky. we loved it and r going back again just booked same hotel great location. hotel was basic but u only sleep in it anyway and u get what u pay for. staff where great to get on with all spoke english so that was a good thing. was told hotel is having a make over to all rooms cant wait to go back to c that .was told it going to be nice when it finsherd will let u all know lin liverpool

Just back from a weeks stay at the Mehtap and had the best week ever. This was my 3rd time staying at the Mehtap and definitely wont be the last :D
Hotel is in great location just on the beach front which is local to all the main bars/nightclubs restaurants etc. Rooms are of a good standard, cleaned everyday by very nice and polite maids.
The only downfall is the carpets which will be removed for next season and marble will be laid :)
Staff at the hotel are awesome and will do anything to acquire you needs.
Bacchus restaurant which is also owned by the hotel offers a very nice range of food and great service. All the staff there are also awesome BIG HELLO to Charlie, Billy, Mehmet, Irfan, Whiteboy, Octay, Sonny and everyone else who made our holiday the best ever :D
Every night they have entertainment in the hotel. Bella Beserk the queen of visual comedy. Bella does a different act every night so you don't get bored of hearing the same thing. Had us in stitches most nights. We would always start off our night in here. Entertainment finishes at 1am just in time to head down to bar-x and all the main nightlife. If your an early bedder then sorry guys but don't think this hotel is really for you :) .
Well everyone at the Mehtap and Bacchus thanks for making our holiday the best and hope to see you all next year.
And also a big thanks to Ishan the hotel manager, and will be in touch soon to book for next year :D:D

I have been going to Turkey the past seven years, and this has been one of the worst hotels I have ever stayed in.
Overall the hotel was filthy, breakfast in the morning was a disaster e.g. dishes, plates, were barely washed. An eggshell had been laying on the floor; we counted a total of 3 days before it was lifted.
We complained on the first day, and after that all staff were completely ignorant to us. Every night as we passed their restaurant the tortured us to come and eat there, we told them if was anything like the breakfast, we were staying away.
Rooms had no towels; we were constantly asking the maid each day for fresh towels.
Corridors and stairs had rubbish there, that wasn’t dealt with until days later.
We made the best of it as we found a number of lovely bars and restaurants in the area, were the people and food were excellent. I definitely would not recommend this hotel to anyone who is thinking about going there; it’s in dire need of a transformation.
However, Marmaris is a beautiful resort; we met lovely Turkish people, who obviously did not work at the Mehtap hotel.
I will return to Marmaris with friends, but I certainly will not be staying at the Mehtap hotel.

My daughter and I stayed at the Mehtap for 2 weeks this August.
The hotel itself was clean and the room was kept spotless, the room had carpet which was dirty and tread bare and the fridge went off when the room was empty due to the locking system of the door. Air conditioning is a must in high season at a cost of £45 for 2 weeks and a safety deposit box at £20 for 2 weeks.
Breakfast was very basic, dry bread, cheese and tomatoes and the tea and coffee tasted the same. The food in the Baccus restaurant was ok but would not choose to eat there every night. Now the staff at the restaurant were very intimidating every night making us feel awkward because we chose to eat at different places rather than their restaurant, as as we purposely booked b&b so we had that choice. One night our children was sat on the wall watching the show and was told to f*** off because we were not drinking there, nice. The show was same most nights, to watch once was enough and it finished every night at 1am.
The hotel has a pool which the first few days was green and not very tempting, I counted on a good day 13 sun beds for a 80 bedroomed hotel and no parasols. The children spent most of their day in the pool but come 16.30 they were turfed out so the staff could get the stage ready for the evenings entertainment, the stage was over the pool.
The adults chose the beach where there were free sunbeds and parasols, but there's a catch, you are expected to buy food and drink from the hotel you have already paid to stay at to get the benefits. One day we were looked after by Mohamed the beach boy and he came and took my parasol which I had been under several hours, when I asked him where he was taking it he replied " its a business they buy more drinks " what could I say I was gobsmaked, hence we moved down to the next doors bar Lavita who were fantastic.
All in all the holiday was great, hotel was fantastic location straight out onto the beach and superb weather. I doubt I will be returning to the Mehtap Hotel but will definitely be going back to Marmaris.

I am shocked to see the good reviews on this hotel, all I can say is that people must not have stayed anywhere else in Marmaris.
Arrived at the Mehtap at around 5.30 in the evening, first impressions were not good as the reception was dirty.
Went to our room which was absolutely filthy, the carpets were black with dirt....I put the bed covers on the floor so I didn't need to walk on them......it made no difference to the bed covers as they were dirty too!
The breakfast room was disgusting; once you had found a clean cup without a chip in it you had to sit on a table where the tablecloths had not been washed since the beginning of the season.
The pool was not cleaned once whilst we were there (2 weeks). You could not see the bottom of the pool for the dirt and grime, there were 6 sunbeds, the hotel has over 50 rooms! I would not even dip a toe in incase it fell off!
If you want a quiet holiday do not stay here, the show at night is horrendous, same cheap crude jokes night after night, it's not even good, its rubbish.
If you do not spend money in the hotel’s restaurant, the staff and owners ignore you and are rude.
This hotel is all about the show and how much money you can spend, not the hotel guests. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone unless you are used to living in a dirty hovel!

We have been home for 2 weeks, and already want to go back!
The hotel was brilliant. Room was cleaned daily, we had a beautiful sea view, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Great location, situated right on the beach front.
The hotel came alive at night. The staff had everyone up on there feet.
All you could hear till closing was laughing and singing! We felt right at home!
The first word they said when we arrived at the hotel was 'welcome home kids'
I would recommend this hotel to anyone.
We will be back with the family next year - cannot wait!

If you want a nice holiday don't go to MBN apartments!
Marmaris was lovely, we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, except
for where we stayed. It was filthy dirty, never cleaned. The owners took a mood on if you went out and weren’t spending your money with them. When we were leaving they blocked our way to get more money out of us for the cleaner (who never cleaned!).
The owners sat around all night as they were in bed most of the day! They were not bothered about noise from the other guests as long as they got their money.
The pool was never cleaned and both my kids came home with ear infections from that disgusting pool! They never cut the trees so we had branches all over the balcony and bugs from the trees were all over the windows!
We’d go back to Marmaris but stay well clear of MBN apartments.

Just spent a fantastic week in Marmaris. Now for the Mehtap Hotel, the room was basic and clean and only what you would expect for a 3 star hotel. The hotel staff were a bit rude in my first impression, then got more friendly at the end of our week. Air-con was 25 pounds for the week, which was brilliant as we so needed it considering it was in the 90's.
Location of this hotel is fantastic; the beach is right on the doorstep with sunbeds and a waiter to tend to all your needs. The restaurant is also good with food of a very high standard. All I can say if you didn’t like the food on the menu you must be a very fussy person indeed. The Turkish waiters are so friendly and very helpful and they cant do enough for you, totally professional.
The entertainment was Bella Berserk, a drag queen which was a great laugh on our first night. We didn’t want to see the same thing every night so we choose to try out all the others bars and found a great one called Dr Angel's 60's, 70's and 80's bar.
So all I can say is the Mehtap Hotel is a perfect location and the food is superb - visit this hotel if only for that purpose.
