  Very Bad

  29 Mar 2025

  I do not recommend it. The terrible sound of the subway passing under the hotel is a source of discomfort. The hotel interior is old and the service is very poor. This hotel will not be my choice again. The closets and entrance doors make noise when opening and closing. The breakfast menu is very poor. The hotel staff is not friendly at all.

  Tired building but helpful staff and comfy rooms

  01 Mar 2025

  The hotel is handily placed opposite the railway station and near the KulturPark which is a nice green space in the centre of the city. The staff were helpful, especially with a left behind much loved soft toy, and sorting out extra electric cards. The building is tired and needs quite a lot of small things mending - the shelf in my room was coming apart, a handle in the bathroom was detached, a chair came apart in the dining room. The rooms also aren’t dedicated non smoking rooms and if you’re sensitive to smoke you’ll pick that up. But the beds are comfy and I slept very well. It’s also beautifully decorated.

  Not a boutique hotel

  02 Aug 2024

  Breakfast was very poor choices. The room was OK apart from the smell in the bathroom & the lack of English channels on the tv?? Staff weren't great either they didn't care about any problems. Best thing about hotel was the air con worked! Noisy at night due to proximity of main road & horns being used by drivers for no reason?

  Hotel was OK - Spa staff very rude!

  18 May 2024

  The hotel was noisy, but OK. The worse noise was from the mosque. But I wish I complained about the spa staff. For anyone else going there, just make sure you don’t get treated by Melis. She is so rude. She gave me just a few minutes massage & the Turkish bath was just a quick wipe down. She clearly just wanted to get in to the next customer. She just seemed really angry. Hated when I spoke Turkish. I don’t speak much, but thought I’d try. I felt belittled. I generally tip staff, but this is the first time my treatment was so bad I left without tipping. The spa area was ok. The shower worked ok & the sauna was good and the actual Turkish bath area was amazing , but I literally felt like cattle being rushed through an abattoir. I’m sure if I’d had anyone else in the spa my whole outlook on the hotel would be different, but she ruined it. There’s another hotel with a spa just around the corner, I won’t name it here as that would be out of order. But I’ll be staying there in June when I return. Sorry - she took up all my review. The room was big, the bathroom was too. More than big enough for a single person. It was clean & bedding was changed every other day. The hotel was across the road to the train station, but I heard no noise from it.

  Great hotel in a central location

  11 Mar 2024

  My room was really big and clean, with a comfortable bed that was changed every other day.The hotel is in a great location, just across the road to a mainline train station and tube.It’s a great place to be based, with the sea just a 15 minute walk, and lots of historic sites.I’ve rarely walked as much in a break; including up a nearby mountain (well - big hill I suppose) where there was an old castle on the top. See pics.The staff were great! Other than the catering staff they all spoke English and all of the staff were very friendly.In case you’ve seen me review this hotel twice it’s not dodgy; I just can’t find my original review.The breakfast was served on the top floor and the area is surrounded by huge windows giving an amazing view. There’s a large area outside so you can have a cigarette break up there enjoying the views.The jewel of this hotel was the spa. They have a plunge pool, showers, sauna and a great massage team. I was treated by a beautiful blue eyed lady, who, after one of my really long walks, managed to get all of the knots out of my tired muscles. I’ll be in Izmir again in June and will definitely spend some time in there again.I need to address some criticisms I’ve seen in the reviews. I honestly wonder if they were writing by competing hotels..My room was perfectly clean. It was spacious. The bathroom was perfect. Everything worked. I really don’t know how anyone would criticise the staff or the room.If there’s one downside it was being so close to the speakers for the nearby mosque. The call to prayer was very very loud and woke me every single morning. Other than that the noise was ok, even though it was in a main road and across from the station.
