Smart Hotel
I stayed at Smart Hotel in Izmir during the May holiday, and I have to say the location is unbeatable—right in the heart of the city, just off a major roundabout. The road access isn’t ideal, and the entrance is quite narrow, so if you’re driving, be prepared for some tricky navigation. First-timers should definitely use the hotel’s valet parking service—just pull up to the door and let the staff handle it. I tried finding a spot myself once, and honestly, I nearly gave up. The valet service saved me so much stress. Room size is modest—the whole property feels compact—but cleanliness and comfort are excellent. There are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets within walking distance, and right next to the hotel is a large park perfect for a morning stroll or evening relaxation. What really stood out was the staff’s exceptional service. I accidentally left my jacket behind with my AirPods inside. The team found it quickly, contacted me, and even arranged to ship it back to my home country. That level of care is rare and deeply appreciated. If you're visiting Izmir, this hotel is a top choice—great value, great location, and unforgettable hospitality.
Varyant Hotel
The entire experience at this hotel was fantastic! The staff were incredibly attentive—several times they checked in to see if we needed anything, and any small issues were resolved quickly and efficiently. The rooms were spotlessly clean, with a functional air conditioner and fridge that met our needs. While there's no elevator, it didn’t really affect us during our stay. Every room came with a tea and coffee set plus an electric kettle—perfect for a morning brew. Towels and bed linens were fresh, crisp, and very clean. The interior design was stylish, with soft carpeting on the floors adding a cozy touch. Overall, we were extremely satisfied with the comfort, cleanliness, and value. Highly recommended—we’ll definitely be back!

Staying at Shantihome in Izmir was an absolute delight. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the vibrant city center, with easy access to all major attractions and local hangouts. The staff were incredibly warm and welcoming, always ready to share tips about hidden gems, local restaurants, and must-see sights. Their knowledge of the city made our trip so much more enjoyable. The breakfast was a highlight—fresh, abundant, and delicious, with a great mix of local flavors like savory sausages, homemade jams, and creamy cheeses. It’s rare to find such a cozy, well-run guesthouse with such attention to detail. I’d highly recommend this place to any traveler looking for comfort, authenticity, and a true taste of Izmir. Would definitely come back.

Overall, I was impressed by the balance of location, cleanliness, and affordability.

Titan House Hostel
From the moment I checked in to the day I left, Hüsnü, the owner, was incredibly helpful and welcoming. The shared room’s bathroom and toilet were spotless—cleaner than many 5-star hotels I’ve stayed at. The balcony overlooking the street and the tiny but charming garden added such a nice touch. This hostel truly deserves a perfect score. If I ever return to Izmir, this is definitely where I’ll stay again. In fact, I’d go as far as saying it has one of the best-decorated hostels I’ve seen. Plus, the location is fantastic—super easy to get around by public transport or on foot, making it a top choice for budget travelers who value comfort and convenience.

Kocaman Otel is an absolute gem for value and comfort in Izmir. The rooms are spotlessly clean, with daily housekeeping ensuring a fresh and welcoming space every time. The on-site restaurant offers a generous buffet with a wide variety of daily options—fresh, tasty, and well-prepared. There's ample parking available, which is a huge plus when exploring the city. The front desk staff, especially Sebat Bey, went above and beyond to help with recommendations, directions, and any requests—truly exceptional service. Whether you're here for business or leisure, this hotel makes your stay effortless and enjoyable.

Perla Pura Hotel
Staying at Perla Pura Hotel was an absolute delight. The room was spotless and recently renovated, offering a fresh and comfortable atmosphere right from the moment we walked in. The staff went above and beyond with their warm, attentive service—always smiling, ready to help, and genuinely welcoming. Having a working elevator made moving luggage up and down effortless, which was a huge plus for us with heavy bags. Location-wise, it couldn’t be better—just a short walk to the harbor, perfect for catching early boats to nearby islands or enjoying a relaxed evening by the water. The views are stunning, with beautiful sea vistas and charming local vibes that make the area feel truly special. From the cleanliness to the hospitality and prime location, every detail felt thoughtfully considered. This place offers incredible value and experience—definitely a top pick if you're visiting Izmir, and I’d happily return again.
Anemon Fuar Hotel
We stayed as a group of 45 people, and the experience was far from satisfactory. The hotel is not properly set up to accommodate large groups—there was no dedicated meeting space, which made coordination extremely difficult. Billing was chaotic: it took nearly 30 minutes just to settle the cost of a single drink, and invoices were handled inconsistently with no clear system. Staff were indifferent at best, and most didn’t speak any foreign languages, making communication a constant struggle. Breakfast was acceptable but nothing special—plus, the coffee machine broke down for two out of the three days we were there. Meals on-site were underwhelming; food arrived lukewarm, whether served à la carte or from the buffet. Rooms facing the main street were extremely noisy due to poor sound insulation, making rest difficult. While room size was decent, the bedding was poorly thought out—just a thin cotton blanket provided, with no duvet or extra coverings. We requested additional blankets, but by the next day, only two were available despite having asked for three. Clearly overwhelmed by demand, the staff couldn’t keep up. Overall, the hotel feels outdated, poorly managed, and completely unsuitable for families or group travel. I wouldn’t recommend it under any circumstances.
Otel KÂYA
Staying at Otel KÂYA in the heart of Izmir was a wonderful experience overall. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, making our visit feel personal and welcoming. My husband and I enjoyed our one-bedroom apartment with a private bathroom—spacious enough for our needs and spotlessly clean, which was my top priority. While breakfast could use a bit more variety and parking was a bit tight nearby, these minor issues didn’t take away from the positive experience. Being centrally located made exploring the city so convenient—just a short walk or quick metro ride to all the main sights. The cleanliness, comfort, and friendly service really stood out. Highly recommend this hotel if you're looking for a reliable, well-located stay in Izmir.
The Blue Hotel İZMİR
Staying at The Blue Hotel in Izmir was an absolute delight from the moment I arrived. Located right in the heart of the city, it’s incredibly convenient—just a short walk or quick metro ride from all the main attractions. The staff are warm, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, making you feel like a valued guest from the start. The cleanliness and hygiene standards are outstanding—every corner feels fresh and meticulously maintained. But what truly stood out was the room, especially the double bed. Lying down there felt like gazing up at a starry night sky—serene, peaceful, and utterly magical. I stayed for three nights, and each evening felt like a little escape into tranquility. If you’re looking for a stylish, comfortable, and unforgettable stay in Izmir, this is the place to be. Don’t miss out—you won’t regret it.
Olimpiyat Hotel Izmir
Staying at Olimpiyat Hotel Izmir was a highlight of our trip to Izmir. The location is excellent—just a 10-minute drive from the northern Aegean coast, making it easy to explore the area. The hotel is tucked away in a quiet alley, which adds charm, though parking can be tricky. Luckily, street parking is manageable and not too stressful. What truly stood out was the owner’s incredible hospitality. We were initially assigned a ground-floor room with a small window, but without hesitation, he upgraded us to a fourth-floor room at no extra cost—though we had to walk up the stairs (no elevator), it was totally worth it for such a personal touch. The breakfast was fresh, delicious, and well-prepared, with great attention to detail. When we checked out, the owner even handed us a little gift—such a thoughtful gesture that made our stay feel truly special. This place offers amazing value and genuine warmth. I’d definitely return and recommend it to anyone visiting Izmir.
Antikhan Hotel
Every time I visit Izmir, I usually just book a basic budget hotel near the train station—but this time I chose Antikhan Hotel, and I couldn’t be happier. The price was incredibly reasonable, and it even included breakfast, which was a nice surprise. After reading reviews on other platforms, I decided to make a reservation—and I’m so glad I did. The hotel is spotless, well-maintained, and offers everything you’d expect: clean rooms, reliable Wi-Fi, a working TV, and excellent shower facilities. The staff were friendly and always smiling, making check-in and daily interactions a breeze. Best of all, it’s perfectly located in the heart of the city—walking distance to shops, restaurants, and public transit. I’ve already made it my go-to address for future trips to Izmir. If you’re looking for comfort, cleanliness, and value, this is the place to stay.
