The Best Cheap Hotels to Book in Marmaris, Turkey

To the south of the central Marmaris hub – on a stretch of beach of its very own – this property is resort-esque, with a cluster of buildings presented around swimming pools and gardens. Two alluring pools are enveloped by sun loungers and umbrellas, with a serene backdrop of the hills to one side and lapping sea to the other. The boutique rooms and suites are bright and colourful in decor – and there’s a fantastic in-house restaurant which serves both Turkish favourites like pide and borek, as well as international plates.

This smart, modern hotel is close to Marmaris town centre while being only a minute’s walk from the sandy beach – the best of both worlds. It’s a busy, friendly 56-room property with spacious, pastel interiors, and most rooms offer a balcony or terrace with a sea view. Ketenci Hotel also boasts a top-notch outdoor swimming pool with a neighbouring children’s swimming area and a poolside snack bar – surrounded by sun loungers, it’s perfect for the whole family. It’s also just a few minutes’ walk from the local bars and nightclubs, if you’ve got some partying in mind.

A very sweet, cheap and cheerful motel in the heart of the beach strip in Marmaris, Uysal Motel is well located and very affordable. The simple, clean rooms have a touch of nautical decor and come with ensuite bathrooms, plus most have a balcony with excellent sea views. There are accessible rooms available on the ground floor, too, with a sea view terrace rather than a balcony – just get in touch to chat about options for your group as they’re very accommodating.

One of two lovely offerings from the Begonville chain in the Marmaris area, the Begonville Hotel is a lovely property – set a few blocks back from the coast on the edge of the buzzy town centre. The sizeable rooms and suites come in a range of occupancies to suit all manner of groups – with either a poolside or city view. As well as offering a great pool area, the hotel boasts its own spa, complete with a Turkish hammam and sauna where excellent massages are available to book.

One of the coolest and most thoughtfully presented options in town, the Sunset Marmaris Boutique Hotel is a hip, cosmopolitan spot with designer boutique interiors. There are walls galore with peacock and feather motifs that give a nod to the rich Silk Road history. The five stunning concept bedrooms are elegant and well presented. Your stay includes a full Turkish breakfast served in the rooftop bar, Euphoria – awash with cushions and fabrics, it offers a view of the bay full of boats. It’s also in an excellent location – just a minute’s walk to all the historical sites, including Marmaris Castle.

A charming getaway for those looking for true peace, the Dolphin Boutique Hotel is an hour’s drive from Marmaris in the idyllic coastal village of Bozburun. A family-run business, the property offers a high quality stay for low-cost prices. The 20 individually designed, welcoming rooms and suites come in all shapes and sizes – and the in-house restaurant serves freshly caught fish dishes and boasts sublime sea views over the quiet bay.

This delightfully modern, recently renovated property is bursting with a funky, sleek design and colourful features across the 69 rooms and suites. You’ll be well fed at the on-site, much-loved BIG CHEFS restaurant – serving a delectable steak as well as Turkish favourites, made with fresh seasonal produce. It’s the in-house Sky Spa and Fitness that really impresses, though – complete with a fitness centre, sauna, steam room, indoor pool, shower and hammam, guaranteed to leave you floating on air.
