Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were very large and comfortable with modern furnishings, nice bathrooms, and essential amenities. The service was exceptional with attentive staff and a wide range of services offered. The location was perfect for exploring the city and enjoying the nearby attractions. The dining experience was delightful, offering a great variety of delicious dishes. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
Staying at this hotel was an absolute delight! The rooms were not only tidy and well-kept each day without needing to ask but also beautifully decorated with a modern yet inviting touch. The location, just a block away from the seafront promenade and various restaurants, made exploring the city so convenient. The stunning bathroom and thoughtful room layout added a touch of luxury to the experience.
My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant. The room was large with a comfortable bed, and the buffet breakfast spread was decent, although as a vegetarian, I found limited options in Turkey. The floor my room was on lacked a nice view, which was disappointing.
I had a delightful stay at the hotel. The rooms, booked through a travel agent in Izmir, were very comfortable and remarkably clean, offering spaciousness and a lovely outlook. The service was outstanding with a touch of personal care that made me feel special. The location was perfect, right in downtown with stunning views of Izmir Bay. While the dining experience was good with nice local food options, the facilities overall added to the enjoyment of my stay.
The hotel offers lovely rooms with high-end leather furniture that is both pleasing to the eye and comfortable. I enjoyed the modern decor and having both a tub and shower in the room. The complimentary Executive Lounge benefits, including breakfast and snacks, added value to my stay.
The hotel offers good and quiet rooms with extra special details like a pillow menu, but some issues with the dirty carpet, non-working bathroom outlets, and closet lights causing sleep problems. The service provided was charming and attentive. The location is great for leisure and work activities, with proximity to the seafront and other amenities. The dining experience was of good quality and variety. Overall, a sleek and family-friendly hotel with minor room concerns and excellent service.
