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.

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.
