Staying at this hotel in the heart of Izmir was a fantastic experience. The location is unbeatable—just a short walk from the waterfront, where you can enjoy beautiful views and evening strolls along the seafront. The hotel itself is clean, well-maintained, and offers a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast spread was impressive with fresh local touches—especially the warm pastries and fruit selection. I loved how close it was to great restaurants and charming little shops, making it easy to explore the city on foot. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. It’s rare to find such a perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and value. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Izmir.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 stayed at Mini Hotel in Izmir and had an excellent experience overall. The room was spacious with a very comfortable, large bed—perfect for a solo traveler.

Their friendly and helpful attitude made my arrival so much smoother. The hotel is well-located, quiet yet close to everything I needed. It’s clear they care about guest comfort and service quality.

Even though Karaca Hotel isn’t the newest or most modern option, it delivers an incredibly satisfying stay. The cleanliness and hygiene throughout the property are outstanding—every corner feels fresh and well-maintained. Staff stand out with their genuine warmth and willingness to help; they made us feel welcome from day one. Both dinner and breakfast exceeded our expectations, especially in terms of variety and quality—local flavors were beautifully prepared and delicious.

Walking to restaurants, shops, or the waterfront is a breeze. For travelers seeking a cozy atmosphere, excellent food, and attentive service without the high price tag, this hotel is a top choice. We’ll definitely come back.

Check-in took about 15 minutes, which was a bit longer than expected. The floor panel underneath the bed was loose, and I kept bumping my feet against it—really annoying. The shower water pressure was terrible, and the temperature fluctuated wildly, reminding me of my trip to India. It felt like I was standing under a trickle instead of a proper shower. While the hotel is conveniently located near the city center and accessible via public transit, the overall condition of the room and service quality left a lot to be desired. Maintenance issues like this really affect the guest experience. Hopefully, they can address these small but important details soon.
