stayed at Romance Hotel in Marmaris this August with my family and our dog. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. For the first three nights, we were given two rooms that smelled heavily of damp the moment we walked in it was so bad we could hardly breathe. On top of that, the rooms were extremely overpriced at £110 per night each. The bathrooms were very old, the showers barely worked, and the beds were so uncomfortable I could feel the wires in the mattress. The lift was tiny and outdated, and unlike most hotels, we were not given fresh water daily. The hotel itself looks like it hasn't been updated since the 1970s. Another major issue was parking. The hotel advertises that it has parking, but in reality, there are only 3-4 spaces outside, which are almost never available. During our three week stay, we had to pay for parking elsewhere every day. On the very last day of our holiday, thanks to TAHA running to warn us, we just managed to stop our car from being towed away though we still ended up with a fine. The parking in this area is an absolute nightmare, and the hotel should not advertise parking as if it were genuinely available. We only chose this hotel because it was one of the very few pet-friendly options available in August. Later, we changed rooms which was a bit better, but still far from ideal. The breakfast was also poor we only ate there twice during our entire stay. The saving grace of this hotel is the staff, From the cleaners to the reception, everyone was friendly and helpful. I especially want to thank TAHA at the front desk, who went above and beyond to try and make our stay more comfortable. Taha also deserves thanks for his quick help on our last day. Sadly, it's clear that the state of the hotel itself is beyond their control. The location is good, very close to the beach, but overall the outdated facilities, misleading parking situation, and poor value for money mean that we would not stay here again. The 2 stars I have given are only for the staff and the location.
