Ξενοδοχεία με breakfast σε 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.

Overall a beautiful property. The rooms are lovely, breakfast is great and the daily housekeeping service is very good. There was one gentleman who was really very nice and helped us figure out the bus to the airport. He even drove us to the bus stop to show us where it was. It was just a few minutes away but really nice of him. Some cons and things to take note of: 1. Most staff DO NOT speak English. They use google translate which is effective for the most part, but tough if you need to have a discussion. 2. The hotel page mentions airport drop of free. The hotel claims it’s not included and impossible to have a discussion so couldn’t do much. Not sure if this is a trip.com issue or a hotel issue. 3. Breakfast really is very good. But it’s a fixed Turkish breakfast so if you have dietaries this may be tough. The staff would casually ask “tea,coffee, juice?” as though it was all included and then when we were checking out we get a bill of £40 for a few coffees. Seems only the tea was included. When we told them no one informed us if it was chargeable, all they did was offer us 2 coffees in the morning to compensate. Really not okay. 4. LOUD MUSIC. There is music playing loudly till 1am. The first 2 nights it was a bit quieter and shut off by 12. But the last night it went on till 1am. When we complained around 12 they said oh this is normal but now since some guests have complained we’ll reduce the volume. Really didn’t make much of a difference. Last night there, completely spoilt the lovely few days we had there.

Beautifully refurbished, can’t fault it. Rating for location may be lower and amenities in that no bar or pool - but I didn’t pay for a bar or pool. It was excellent service and everything for what I paid for. So it is difficult to choose a 1-5 rating for the break up. I had a single room which was great - I could have done with an extra blanket (only because I’m a bit of a fussy sleeper) but I didn’t ask for one, so I can’t complain as they have given me one (so obviously wasn’t that much of an issue, I used the runner vertically on me instead).  Shower was excellent! Breakfast really great! Style was superb and the lift was regular & effective. Oh, and the air con was very effective indeed! It was all a pleasure (just very citified at night, which you should expect in a city anyway).  I did see into a family room when at the lift and I had a little nose around the corner as it was vacant - it was spacious and very impressive, with what appeared to be a larger bathroom too to accommodate. Definitely great value for money!

The hotel's location is ideal for exploring Selçuk, with easy access to the ruins of Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis, and other sites. It is surrounded by many restaurants and cafes. The staff is friendly and exceptionally helpful 👍

There is a small garden and swimming pool, the environment is very good, there is a Michelin seafood restaurant, the big lobster is very good, the price is not cheap, the olives for breakfast are grown in their own garden.

We were in Izmir when we decided to get a room in Çeşme and I booked this hotel trough Trip.com. It had best ratings and it came up 1st of the list. We didn’t think twice cos we are not keen in staying in hotels for our holiday as we like to travel around. So we didn’t expect anything wow for a 3 stars hotel. But to be honest we found the place charming, a cute family owned small hotel with a cosy veranda for breakfast, served every morning by polite staff. You don’t order anything but eggs, the rest comes fresh from the kitchen: olives, cheeses, watermelon, nuts, honey, tomato and cucumbers and other stuff as meze style. Rooms are small but cosy and clean with a side balcony facing the garden. That’s all we needed. The owner is a gentle person fluently in English and very helpful. We had a problem with hairdryer and a new one came in a minute. Location for us is the best part and that’s why we chose it. Literally 5 minutes walk from the beach, a nice side walk between villas and the cristal water shore. 5 minutes from the marina and all the bars, restaurants and beach clubs. You can just step out from the hall and stop a minibus (dolmush) with your hand. Can go to Alaçati or Cesme in 10 minutes for only 1 euro. If you not too fussy and want to spend few days in a good, clean, cosy and friendly environment we highly recommend to try Mon Ilica Otel.

The room was very clean. With a child, we added a single bed for free. The swimming pool and beach were beautiful!

The Izmir Marriott Hotel has a great location, right on the waterfront promenade. The staff are very friendly and professional. Ada, in particular, was always ready to offer excellent service and local insights, providing great recommendations for sightseeing.

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.
