Really enjoyed our stay at Izmir Palas. Great location, with lots of good restaurants nearby. Overlooks the harbor and the promenade. Staff was exceptionally accommodating and responded to every request. Internet in the rooms was not available, but free in the lobby with log on to the hotel's wireless network. We used Izmir as a base to tour Efesus and the coastal towns as far south a Bodrum. Had a great time in the area.

This is a nice hotel in a great location. The room was nice, clean, and had satelite TV with several english channels. They also had free onsite internet, a big plus in a city without very many net cafes.

The staff was not very friendly, however. And given the cost, I would say you can save a lot of money without sacrificing a lot in quality.

The Izmir Palas has a great location, near the city center and a great view of beautiful Izmir Bay. I just think it is a little pricey for the time of year that I was there. $100.00 for city view and $115.00 for the sea view. I think that $85.00 for the city view and $100.00 for the sea view would have been more fair. The staff was professional and very courteous.

The Izmir Palas has seen better days as it is a little tired

The location is great and the sea views fantastic but it is in need of refurbishment

The room was tidy and comfortable and there is certainly nothing in the hotel to complain about

Not knowing the layout of the city we chose the hotel to be close to the waterfront and restaurants

I think the Ege Palas is probably a better option (but at a higher price point )
