“Unique Ottoman watch tower apartment in beautiful gardens”

Quirky and massive three storey Ottoman watchtower. This was a very unique stay and we loved the room(s). We visited in mid-March and it was quiet at night and a short walk to Bodrum centre. Breakfast was great with everything from cheese to olives and lemon cake to boiled eggs. Very tasty. Cute little dogs and cat. A lovely and very big courtyard / garden area

“A beautiful and quiet historic place to stay just off the main seafront of Bodrum.”

A wonderful historic hotel in a beautifully restored watchtower. In a quiet area but just a 2 minute walk to the main waterfront of Bodrum. Easy to find and parking our car right outside was ok. Very friendly host and hostess and a lovely room with everything we needed. A fabulous homecooked Turkish Breakfast and good guidance of places to visit and eat from our hostess.

“Owner is a Great lady . She is very kind and professional. Thx”

“The best way to start a holiday and experience the spirit and hospitality of Turkey.”

A beautiful authentic Turkish house transformed into a hotel with a charm of bygone times. The lush garden is full of cozy corners for relaxation, acompanied by friendly cats, a charming bar, and gracious host who kindly fulfilled every request we had.

“Very comfortable and welcoming family-owned small hotel”

Wonderful family hotel in an historic home. Very comfortable and welcoming. Lovely Turkish breakfast

Hosts were lovely the property itself was old world charming. Close to Marina. breakfast was nice.

“Paradise in Bodrum. We loved every single second of our stay at Ha La Bodrum and can’t wait to return.”

Hidden gem, best best family owned and run property with a Speakeasy. The housekeeping and breakfast staff were incredible. Laundry facilities 10/10, our clothes came out better than professional laundry facilities in London haha! Perfect location!!! Thank you Aylin & Ayça xo

It's super central, the location is perfect. The host was very friendly and breakfast was very nice, super recommended!

“Amazing place to stay in Bodrum. Great Experience.”

Lovely family run boutique hotel. Perfect Location. Really fabulous room with comfortable bed. Lovely Turkish breakfast included. Served at a table right outside our room on the patio.

“A special place in Bodrum”

Delightful old house in a garden courtyard with traditional decor and lots of atmosphere. Room was lovely but with a very small wet room/bathroom. Breakfast was served in the garden and was delicious. Very charming host family and we were invited to their amazing party with DJ on the last night to celebrate the end of peak season. Location was great for walking into town by the harbour.

“I would choose Ha La Bodrum again .”

Cozy , home-feel , comfortable and well-located

“If you want to actually relax and feel like u r in another world look no further than Ha La - this place is diamond of a”

The people running the Hotel, the location, the magical feeling of the place, the greenary all around, the unique beauty of the rooms, the BREAKFAST and the cute bar on the evenings!!! Also the cats ❤️ thank you Ha La team

Such a lovely stay for our last night in Turkey, we wish we had longer!! Everything was beautiful and all the smallest details were thought of. Will definitely be back when in Turkey again.

“Charming, gorgeous peoperty with amazing hosts!!!”

What a perfect stay. If this within your budget, I would say don’t think twice - BOOK immediately! It’s a gorgeous generational home run by the most charming & kind family and team. The rooms are spotlessly clean, and Ayça and her beautiful sister Aylin, went above and beyond for us, sharing local recommendations (even for Kos which is a Greek Island 30-min away by Ferry). They also provide a laundry service; the clothes came back not only in less than 24-hours but the most beautifully ironed AND hung up in the wardrobe!!! Thank you for the phenomenal stay - we can’t wait to return!

Very well situated right in the middle of the old town. Only a 3 min walk to resturants. Lovely breakfast.

“Fantastic experience at Ha La Bodrum.”

Cats everywhere, they rules the place :-D Cocktail bar in the evening Peace and relax in the garden

“Beautiful property that looks like you’ve stepped into an oasis”

Beautiful property that looks like you’ve stepped into an oasis. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The speakeasy bar was probably the best bar I visited in Bodrum.

“An oasis in a beautifully preserved historic homestead set within a large garden steps from the port”

The breakfast on the terrace in the lush garden was absolutely perfect, in an idyllic setting with friend service. Everything was served fresh to the table for each guest: olives, ripe tomatoes, a variety of local cheeses, a selection of fruit like the most succulent peaches or watermelon, fresh bread, preserves, and a homemade local delicacy. There was tea and coffee, and I asked for eggs, which were perfectly done. But if I was to single out one feature I liked best, it would be the unique charm of the premises. It is an old Ottomon villa which has been in the same family for over 3 centuries and all of its charm, thick stone walls, high ceilings and timber details have been preserved. It has also not been over-renovated to lose its character. The garden is idyllic, filled with trees, fruit trees, olive trees and a few palms, which offer dappled shade under the many secluded seating options for guests. At night the place is absolutely magical, with lights in the trees and around the bar area which serves some of the best cocktails I have had in a while, anywhere. It's a hidden gem almost worth coming to Bodrum for....a little oasis just three streets up from the old harbour near the mosque, but completely out of earshot and in a world of its own. It was a perfect surprise for me, as I had to spend a night before and after a week with my friends on a gulet, in order to catch my flight.

“Best experience in Bodrum”

It was indeed a wonderful experience, will be etched in our memories forever. Thanks to the hospitality of the host family and specially Ayecha. The Room, the premises showed the real history of Bodrum. Loved it so much and highly recommend.
