Antikhan Hotel in Izmir

Good value for money. Centrally located with nice staff. Unfortunately it does need a renovation and the rooms are quite dirty, but for the price and a short stay it's good.

Getting there: I came via bus, I was able to catch the 302 from the main bus station, it took about 30 minutes and I was able to tap on with my bank card. There are metro stations walking distance. It is very easy to find and close to main roads. Location: This hotel is in Central Izmir, there is a Migros Jet (supermarket) about 5 minutes away and a multitude of take away places. The promenade along the sea front is around 10 minutes walk away. As a vegan I found I needed to walk up to the more touristy area for food, this took about 25 minutes. As noted in other reviews this hotel is in an area surrounded by Bazaars. Facilities: The Wi-Fi is excellent, the air conditioning worked well, as did the television. The breakfast was a combination of meats, egg, salad, olives, breads and pastries, there was a good selection. Drinks wise the options were tea, coffee and water. Each room has a fridge. Guests are supplied with water in their room but can also access this downstairs. The room: I had a room that overlooked the courtyard, it was lovely and quiet. The furnishings were a little weathered, however everything worked and was clean. The staff: The people working at the hotel were friendly and helpful, they were quick to offer drinks in the afternoon and made a point to welcome me every time I came into the hotel. I do not speak Turkish, however I am confident had have I needed support we would have managed with translation apps.

The bathroom is really dirty and smells like mold after the shower.
Otherwise, the staff is very nice and helpful, the location is good (the bazaar is on the other side of the road). There is a huge lemon tree in the courtyyard.

Really authentic place with history, clean enough. Perfect patio inside the building. Very quiet Mitsubishi conditioner unit. 3 peson room is better and 1-2 person. Vry good place!

If you want a modern luxury hotel with new fixtures and fittings then avoid. If you want a cheap historical hotel with a cool courtyard and comfortable beds in a great position in Izmir then book here.

Yes it could do with a renovation but then it would not be such good value. Great restaurants nearby and walkable to the railway station and all the major sites, particularly the Agora which is 2 minutes away.

The courtyard is an oasis of calm with breakfast in the morning served here and tea and coffee available all day.

Go for a room located on the courtyard and NOT on the front, where it can be quite busy, for maximum peace and quiet. I booked for 2 days and stayed 4.

The twin beds room was ok. Good breakfast. Non-stop reception service offered by very kind men. There is also a cool and relaxing "hidden" garden. Parking place is just 150 m away.
