Its location is perfect—just steps from the metro station, making it easy to explore the city without hassle. Best of all, the hotel sits directly facing the sea, so walking along the waterfront in the morning or evening is pure bliss. The staff were incredibly warm and attentive—always smiling, eager to help, and fluent in English, which made communication smooth and stress-free. One standout feature? The minibar was completely free, and the drinks offered were surprisingly high quality, including some imported options. It felt like having a personal mini bar in your room. For the price, the value is unbeatable. I’d absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Izmir.

The hotel itself feels like a hidden gem, blending traditional architecture with modern comfort.

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.

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 Overall, the hotel feels outdated, poorly managed, and completely unsuitable for families or group travel.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.

It’s clear that attention to detail matters here. Whether you’re visiting for leisure or business, this place offers exceptional value and comfort. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a top-tier stay in Izmir.
Residence Hotel - Boutique Class
I stayed here for one night and overall had a positive experience. If you're visiting Izmir for business or short-term travel, this boutique residence is definitely worth considering—its location is convenient, with easy access to the city center via public transit. That said, since it’s situated right on the street, traffic noise might be noticeable, especially if you’re a light sleeper. The breakfast was my favorite part—fresh, well-prepared, and varied, offering a great start to the day. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive, which added to the pleasant stay. It’s not luxury, but the value for money is solid, making it a good option for travelers looking for comfort and convenience without the high price tag. I’d definitely consider returning if I come back to Izmir.
