Hotele z: breakfast w Izmir Province, Türkiye

One of the best - if not THE best - hotel experience/s we ever had!!! ❤️ This small and cute hotel is something like a jewel! The one staff we met was adorable and so kind and caring that we felt right at home and even felt sorry that after only one night we had to leave for our next spot to visit! The hotel is gorgeous, the service impeccable, the breakfast!!! OMG!!! Just look at the pictures and you'll know what I mean! The breakfast was a piece of art made with love 💕 But, originally, the hotel is called Ephesus Hotel and Art Gallery, because all the sculptures you can see on the pictures were made by the owner - it vibes so well with the whole Ephesus area and it's beautiful ancient buildings, ruins, ... We got a nice upgrade to a bigger room that we could directly leave through a door to the inner courtyard where breakfast was served - super convenient! The courtyard was so peaceful that we felt like hearing ancient whispers coming from all around us... So much history!!! So much to see and having this wonderful hotel as the base to discover from was the best choice we could make! No need to mention that the room was simple but very nice and clean, comfy and big bed, nice lighting, spacey bathroom with very modern standard. Aircon as well, but we preferred to use the big fan on the ceiling instead ... There was a little fridge in the room and the beverages inside were free to take, so we were happy about the water after a hot and sunny day ... ☀️ Also, whenever we were on the way in or out, we were offered coffee, tea, water, juice, fruits ... you can see the fruit plate that we happily enjoyed as a mid-day snack ... If you ever visit Selçuk and Ephesus Ancient Town - and you should because it's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - you should definitely book one, or even better two or three days at Ephesus Hotel and Art Gallery!!! Btw, it's also in easily walkable distance to the Ephesus Archeological Museum, the İsa Bey Mosque, St. Jean Church, the Ayasuluk Citadel, ... Another great plus was the fact that we could park the car right in front of the hotel. Last but not least, we received a beautiful little gift from the hotel employee who was taking care of us so kindly - she had sculptured the little elephant that you can see on the last picture by herself! A very special gift for us! 🎁 ❤️

Not far from the beach, but a bit of a distance from the main attractions, unless you take the tram. Izmir is a more relaxed city than Istanbul, with fewer crowds, making it perfect for a leisurely stroll and unwinding. The locals are all very nice.

Excellent hotel right in the heart of Izmir. A significant feature of this hotel is its private grounds, which is quite rare for a city hotel. The rooms are large and spacious, with all amenities, and even include a bathtub in addition to the shower cabin. Breakfasts are delicious and varied, and there's also a large, warm swimming pool. On the downside, prices at the hotel's bars and restaurants are quite high (even for a 5-star category), and they charge a €100 per day deposit upon check-in (something to be aware of). If you pay the deposit in cash, the unused portion is returned. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this hotel; everything is excellent and high-quality.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The hotel is very nice, the rooms and bathrooms were very clean, and the location is perfect. But honestly, the best part of the hotel was the staff. Everyone was so nice, welcoming, and helpful, and they always had a smile on their face. The receptionists were especially sweet and made us feel very welcome. We also had a car, and they have free valet parking, which was such a great convenience. They would take the car to park it and bring it back whenever we needed it, completely free of charge. Honestly, the service and the staff are what made our stay so nice. Everyone was so kind and friendly. We would definitely stay here again!

I visited the area during the low season, so fortunately I got the whole dormitory room to myself. The room was clean and spacious, including the bathroom. However, it might be a bit inconvenient when all the beds are occupied since there is only one bathroom combined with the toilet. There is no separate shower area. The staff were really friendly and informative. The location is also very close to the train and bus stations. Overall, everything was very satisfying.

Location: The location of the hotel is really good. It is in the center of Alacati, easy access to the attractions around. The hotel has the only Michelin guide restaurant in the town, they have live music in the evening, It can be heard in the room. But do not be afraid, the music is really chill. Alacati is really lively at night, you can find a lot of bars and restaurants with live music. But you do not need to be afraid to be bothered in the hotel, the loud music did not reach to our room at least. We really enjoyed to take a walk in the city center after diner, doing so every night during our stay. Enjoying the lively city, walking around then back to hotel to chill afterwards. Cleanliness: The room is really clean and the staff is really friendly. Services: We have breakfast included, the buffet option is relatively limited comparing to other hotels we had. BUT it has freshly cooked turkish beef bacon with Turkish Fried Bread (Pisi) served to your table with a list of other things, vegetable, cheese, butter, jams, olives etc. Start a lovely day with fresh made traditional Turkish breakfast, it was great. Facilities: The pool is not really big, but good for relaxing. Next to the pool there are benches and a lime tree. You can chose to stay under the sun or under the shadow. We really love the hotel building itself, it looks great, really beautiful building and the decoration in the hotel also looks lovely.

The hotel is beautiful and well-located, and the beach is great. However, the daily cleaning really leaves a lot to be desired. They only make the beds and change the towels. I felt like the room was hardly ever vacuumed, and I left dirty glasses that stayed in the same spot. At breakfast, they only clear plates from the table at the end of the meal unless you specifically ask them to. The staff are kind and friendly, but many don't speak any language other than Turkish, which makes communication difficult. Overall, it's a positive review, but with some shortcomings that are unacceptable for a 5-star hotel.

Had a wonderful stay at the Marriott in July 202! 😊 The room was good, and the staff was VERY attentive. The rooftop pool is a very pleasant place to spend time – not too many people. The location is wonderful, right on the promenade, which is convenient for walks. The promenade is bustling 24/7, with fishermen catching fish 😁. I really liked the pool in the spa, the water was super nice 😍. For breakfast, there was a good selection from the menu – various egg dishes and pancakes. All in all, the Marriott, as always, did not disappoint!

This place is located in the Old Town, very close to the archaeological museum, which is a must-see – all the treasures from Ephesus are there. The owner was very welcoming. We forgot to return our audio guides, and the owner kindly returned them for us without charging anything.

OK overall, good location close to the port and main attractions. Though the place is quite worn out and needs renovation (especially bathroom). The shower is old and has some stains of rust and mold, the water in toilet gets dirty after a while (probably due to plumbing issues) and the severage contents leak inside the toilet which is really disgusting. Otherwise it has a friendly service and a spacious room where you can leave your luggage after checkout. Surroundings get a bit dark, dirty and creepy in the night.
