Great location. Rooms comfortable and clean although two of our parties had issues with the showers. The executive lounge food is excellent as is the staff. Particular shout out to Alara for her service and being so welcoming

The hotel is beautiful and very comfortable. Everyone is so kind and welcoming. A shout out to Amara for the wonderful introduction to many of the Turkish foods and coffee!

Grand hotel with central location in Izmir. Rooms are spotless and comfortable - we were especially impressed by the substantial range of amenities provided in the bathroom (sponges were a particular treat!). Aircon not the most effective and duvet oddly small for the massive bed size. Executive lounge a clear highlight with substantial breakfast and happy hour included. Outdoor gardens and pool area still closed for season in April. Great sea view from the rooftop Italian restaurant. Valet parking a reasonable price but access to hotel somewhat difficult given layout. Furnishings reminds me of classic early noughties Sofitel decor - all black leather, chrome, and wood paneling. Would stay again.

This was honestly one of the worst hotel experiences I’ve ever had. I booked a non-refundable stay assuming the standards would be similar to hotels in Istanbul, but I was unfortunately stuck with a very disappointing experience. The hotel is extremely outdated, poorly maintained, and not clean. It lacks even the most basic standards expected from a proper hotel. The breakfast was of very low quality, with poor ingredients and limited options. The staff were clearly untrained — no proper greeting, and not even basic service like taking initial drink orders during breakfast. Overall, the level of service does not even meet a 2-star standard, let alone a 5-star hotel. Considering the price I paid per night, I could have easily stayed at one of the top hotels in Istanbul, such as Address, and had a far superior experience. This hotel is absolutely not worth the money, and I strongly recommend considering other
