Reviews
From the moment you check in, even the reception staff seem to expect you to leave after seeing the room. The rooms are extremely small, filthy, and full of insects. They clearly have not been cleaned in a very long time. There is no housekeeping service during your stay. The floors are dirty, the windows are broken, and the TV is smaller than a laptop screen.
The space between the beds is so narrow you can barely walk, and the beds themselves are incredibly uncomfortable, with mattresses that look over 20 years old.
The bathrooms are tiny — if you weigh more than 80 kg, you may not even fit inside. There is no hot water, and the walls are covered with signs begging guests to use as little water as possible because of water costs.
The hotel was almost completely empty when we stayed. We were the only guests, and it's clear why — everyone else seems to leave right after checking in.
Despite the extremely poor quality, the price is outrageously high. Honestly, I wouldn’t even pay $10 per night for such a place.
Other major issues:
• Fire alarms randomly went on in the middle of the night.
• The elevator was filthy and looked like it had never been cleaned.
• No refrigerator in the room.
• Motorcycles were parked inside the hotel lobby.
Labeling this hotel as a "3-star hotel" is completely misleading — I wouldn't even give it 1 star.
This hotel is in desperate need of full renovation
He kept my luggage safe for me before I checked in and after I checked out.
The breakfast was moderately good with delicious fried vegetables and fried eggs. There were choice of bread too ( simit and brown bread)
Mr Osman was helpful in guiding me around the city.
The hotel is near to Basmane Metro station and you can use this line for Izban.
You can also go to Izmir otogar ( izmir bus station) directly by bus. You need 302 it comes every 10-15 mins. Ther bus stop is near Basmane train station near the mosque.
There is also a Tramvay to Konak port if you prefer to travel by ferry and to other ports.
If Mr Osman is there again I would defiantly recommend this hotel.
The rooms are extremely small, there is no hot water, and no refrigerator. Everywhere — from the lobby to the rooms — is extremely dirty. Insects are everywhere, especially under the beds. Be careful: many of the positive reviews here are fake. If you check the profiles of the reviewers, you’ll see they were created by travel agents marketing this terrible hotel. Stay alert!
