A really enjoyable stay in the heart of the old town ideally located for metro and walking to main sites - minutes from the Agora. A lively area near the bazaar but hotel quiet and comfortable. Very clean room and staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast excellent and varied. If you're looking for a relaxedTurkish experience then this is highly recommended.

Free parking, very friendly service and a nice place. Good English as well.
The location is great if you want Turkey rather than shopping or nice pavements. The road outside is narrow and packed with barber shops, schwarma bars and chai stores, all overhung with ivy canopies. Gorgeous smells and lovely people.
The hotel is clean and shiny with a lovely top floor restaurant.
The rooms are small but fine, with air conditioning and a powerful and hot shower.
The one downside is the nearby mosque which belts out a very loud call to prayer at 5am for 5 minutes.
Thank you guys for a great stay

Pros: Conveniently located near the train station, free wi-fi, courteous and helpful staff, good value
Cons: The room smelt of cigarette smoke, and the neighborhood is somewhat dodgy, especially for female travelers

The room was clean, had a mini bar and a TV. Breakfast was good. Reception staff was friendly but not everyone spoke communicable English. They were also pretty useless when I tried to get information on public transportation, tours to local sites or navigating the city. The only thing I liked about the location of the hotel was its proximity to the train station and agora. The train turned out to be a great way of getting to the airport and Selcuk/Eephesus. The hotel is located very far from the bus station and the dalmus station. Since the city public bus service is very confusing, getting to any of these places requires a long and expensive taxi ride. I really hated the area. It is basically bazaar meets ghetto kind of a place, dirty, run down, smelly, loud and chaotic Needless to say , I didn’t dare to venture out at night. I can see how some visitors might find the surroundings to be exotic and unique but for me it was just not appealing. My advice to potential visitors: skip Izmir all together and if you simply have to visit the city chose a hotel in a nicer location.
