Ilyas Bey Mosque

I ended up staying an extra 2 nights after booking online for only 3 and was given the room rates for the extra 2 nights at the rate rate as original booked. My room rate included a buffet breakfast each morning with plenty of a selection of great food to start my day of sightseeing. Everything was in walking distance for me to see the sights of Izmir.

My favorite hotel in izmir

The hotel had a great view, located right in front of the port and the sea, just 10 meters away. The breakfast room was fantastic, allowing you to enjoy your meal while looking directly out at the sea. The breakfast was good but not exceptional, and it was continental. The room was spacious, and the linens were clean, but the overall cleanliness and freshness of the room were not up to standard. For instance, I noticed some mold in the shower, which is common in coastal hotels, but it’s typical to address this regularly to prevent it from being visible. Additionally, I found a hanger left behind by a previous guest, which shows a lack of attention to detail in cleaning. The staff were friendly, and the location was excellent. The best part of this hotel is undoubtedly the view and the location, as it offers easy access to different modes of transportation – boat, train, bus, and even taxi, with a taxi station located right in front of the hotel. Overall, I liked the hotel, but a few improvements, such as upgrading the shower and toilet materials, would make the experience even better.
