- Βempedeli (8/5): - Great location and helpful staff! Thank you Ali for your kind assistance and useful tips!
- Aravind Bremanandam (10/5): - Beds were nice, staff were excellent.
- Petros (6/5): wouldn’t stay here again - location was okay and the staff was kind the towels were really dirty with the previous clients hair , the shower head was broken and the water went everywhere, the showers door didn’t close properly leaving a gap water could go thru
- Lazar (9/5): -
- Aishat (10/5): Супер отель с отзывчивым и добрым персоналом в отличной локации - Очень достойный отель за свою цену в хорошей локации
Номер чистый, белье чистое
Персонал супер отзывчивый, приветливый, во всём помогают
На улице были проливные дожди, моя куртка промокла насквозь, так сотрудники отеля высушили мне ее в сушильной машине абсолютно бесплатно ❤️
Спасибо большое за гостеприимство и помощь!
Мы остались всем довольны!
- shailesh (6/5): -
- Tamer (10/5): - Einfach toll. Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Hotel war sehr sauber und zentral. Gerne wieder
- Anna (9/5): - We stayed at the hotel for two nights and really enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent — everything is nearby. It’s very easy to get from the airport by public transport, and there are plenty of bars, restaurants and shops around. The sea and the ferry terminal are only about a five-minute walk away, which was very convenient for us.
The room is simple but clean and comfortable. There is a kettle, drinking water and a fridge, and the beds are very comfortable.
There is no lift, so if you are travelling with small children or heavy luggage, it’s something to keep in mind.
The windows face a street with bars, so it’s not completely quiet in the evening — but that’s also part of the lively atmosphere of the area.
Overall, we were very happy with our stay. For us, the value for money at this hotel was excellent, and we would happily stay here again.
- Alyssa (9/5): Great stay, would recommend! - The staff were so incredible and welcoming! They were available for any needs we had day or night. The location was perfect for spending a few days in Izmir. The room was clean and as expected. The beds were quite hard.
- Dardae (6/5): - Nous avons séjourné 2nuits ils n ont jamais fait le ménage dans la chambre
- Su (10/5): -
- Kathrin (8/5): - Top Lage, sehr sauber und zweckmässig
- Nurlan (4/5): - Light bulbs was missing and room was very dark. There was not iron in the room and staff was not able to provide one. Only one they had wasn’t working.
- Moraweck (6/5): -
- JABER (1/5): - الاثاث قديم يحتاج الى تجديد
- Giovan Battista (8/5): - Albergo molto pratico, nel centro della città. Personale amichevole e disponibile. La stanza era funzionale, ma con affaccio sulla scala interna.
- Adam (9/5): -

- Olcay (9/5): Felt like my own home. - I liked it a lot, felt like home and also was very close to city center. Can't think of any.
- Özlem (8/5): Fed beliggenhed - Log meget tæt på centrum Ingen elevator
- Leah (9/5): Good stay in Izmir - Very easy and cheap stay in Izmir. Walking distance to everything, just a basic room but absolutely fine if you just need somewhere to sleep for a couple nights. The staff were lovely and very helpful. Nothing
- Kifayat (8/5): Great location and staff -
- Dennis (9/5): Nice place to stay for a few nights, someone at reception the whole time. - The reception staff were very helpful. It was all good..
- Ismet (4/5): Due to the absence of parking spaces, we were compelled to park 15 minutes away in a paid garage. This arrangement prove - Center of the city , walkable to restaurants, cafes No parking
- Szali83 (10/5): Értékelés - The receptionist was very kind, helpful and communicative. He proposed different ways to reach our destination. The rooms were awesome. Mine was very big, totally clean and equipped with a fridge, a TV and for my surprise a combo of a fan and a lamp. First I did not know how to switch off the lights than I realized I had to use the remote control. There was water in the fridge, but we our own so we didn't have to use it. The bathroom was clean. The bed was hard which I also liked. The pillows and the bedsheet was also comfortable. The top of the toilet was a little bit diagonal and the shower was a little bit small but all these are just notices.
- Sofya (7/5): Alright - Good location, nice hotel but old. Overall it was good.
- Umut (8/5): Very good -
- Verified traveler (8/5): İhtiyaçlari kar - Çarşaflar temiz, oda temizlik açısından iyi. Küçük ama temel işlevler karşılanıyor. Banyoda sorun yoktu. Lokasyon gürültülü, barlar sokağının tam arkası. Personel nazik ve yardımcı. Araçla yaklasmak zor, yakında 7-8 dakikalık yürüme ile uygun fiyatlı belediye otoparkı var
- Mauro (8/5): Very good - Hospitality, people were very friendly, the location was great! Language was not a barrier! The only thing that surprised us at the arrival that there was no lift.
- Nonjabulo (10/5): Comfortable and relaxing. - The staff was exceptional, always willing to help and assist us with questions and requests. Also, it doesn’t hurt that it’s easy to travel around Izmir from this location. Restaurants, cafes and shops all within walking distance and open until 22:00, some of the restaurants until 02:00 in the morning. I was pretty happy with the property.
- Sibel (8/5): - Das Personal ist super freundlich und hilfsbereit, sie haben immer ein Lächeln im Gesicht & unterhalten sich gerne mit den Gästen. Das Hotel ist sehr zentral & mitten im Geschehen. Es ist also in der Nacht laut (vor allem am Wochenende) und man hört andere Gäste, wenn sie im Gang sind oder die Türen zu machen bzw. sogar Gäste vom oberem Zimmer, wenn sie im Bad reden. In der Nähe gibt es ein Parkhaus, welches zu Fuß in 7 Minuten erreichbar ist.
- Armin (10/5): 4 nights in Izmir - Had a great stay. Close to lots of things. Quiet even though close to bars & clubs. Wonderful staff.
- Taha Yasin (10/5): - Great stay, friendly staff.
- Beyza (10/5): - Alsancağın merkezinde kalabileceğiniz en tatlı otel. Heryere çok yakın konum olarak çok iyi çalışan herkes çok yardımcı oluyorlar. Temizlik açısından odalar mis gibi kokuyor çok memnun kaldık
- Marcjusz (7/5): Simple hotel in good location. - Several places for breakfast in 10 minutes walking distance. Staff recommended Zeynel Ergin Gevrek Fırını and Alsancak Dostlar Fırını and they were total 10/10 places.
Kıbrıs Şehitleri Cd. street is just a few minutes walk from hotel and has coffee/food places, grocery/cosmetics etc. stores.
When it comes to public transport there is Alsancak train station close by (direct ADB airport connection). Tram stop is next to the station. Walking to/from station was safe.
There was a fridge in the room.
AC unit is next to the windows, but we did not used it.
Someone complained that staff does not know English. Some people do, some does not. We managed to communicate with them. Wi-Fi was quite slow. But was available in room which is not always granted.
Shower head needed replacing (but was done by staff as they were in a middle of renovations).

- Daniil (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cemal (3/5): Poor - Location
- Gokhan (6/5): - Fiyat performans oteli güleryüz ve konum iyi tarafları
- Levent (8/5): - Alsancakta merkezi, eğlence ve yeme içme mekanlarına, toplu taşımaya yakin bir oteldi. Ses geçirgenligi yüksekti odada. İlgi ve guler yüzden memnun kaldım
- Nilay (2/5): Rezalet - Berbattı oda soğuktu otelin kapısında köpek vardı otel barların içindeydi tam bir rezillikti araba park edecek yer yoktu buz gibiydi ailece perişan olduk hayatımdaki en kötü oteldi
- Eleftheria (10/5): Exceptional -
- Rudi (10/5): A lovely stay in Balca (h)otel. - The staff was very kind and helpful. The hotel is very near the main shopping street and near the ferry with which to cross the bay or you can use the nearby train or tram. The room was very clean and comfortable. Thank you Erkut, Ali and Çiğdem. I do hope to see you again. I can't think of any negative experience.
- Alisha (10/5): Great Value ,Great location - Centrally located.
Staff is very friendly and communication in english is a plus.
- Kurmanbekova (7/5): In general the stay was good, if you’re not too picky and coming there without kids it’s fine to stay few nights there - Perfect location and super friendly staff , they were helpful Smoking smell , no noise isolation , very noisy especially at night , old facilities ,no laundry service
- Crom (3/5): Poor - We didn’t feel safe just. The street was full of people who is drinking all night long and scream. We immediately changed our location. If you came izmir first time it’s better to choose another side of city. Location is near to train station. Only thing that we loved about that hotel. And hotel price was not good for hotel and location.
- Alina (9/5): Nice place to stay! - Polite stuff. Early check-in. Nice location, a lot of cafes and bars nearby. The room was okay. Recommended Noise from outside in the evening
- Muhammad (6/5): Pleasant -
- Vlad (10/5): Exceptional - The hotel is surrounded by great restaurants, bars and supermarkets. It is also very close to the seaside promenade and the train station.
- Anna (9/5): Superb - Great location. Staff were very helpful and friendly, always available to help book taxis or activities. Beds were comfy Noisey at nighttime due to the area , however earplugs would be a simple solution to this issue :)
- Eric (10/5): A great hotel located near the shopping district of konak! - This is my third stay and review with my stay at this hotel, and for a good reason!
The price is really affordable, the staff is nice, the hotel is clean and the location is very close to the shopping district and the wonderful park.
We even gotten a room upgrade by the owner/manager Mr. Erkut, that offered us after we asked if we could have a softer mattress!
If you are looking for hotel near the shopping district, then you must give this location a try :) n/a
- Selman (9/5): Superb - Price was good Nothing
- Rildo (7/5): Super staff and great location - Erkut at reception was super friendly and helped with our tours and advice on transport. The location was great too No elevator and we had to climb 3 floors with baggage. The Internet was very slow
- Olha (10/5): Exceptional - The stuff was very polite and helpful, and the room was very clean and had air conditioning, which was very useful in summer.
- Tyson (10/5): The owner/receptionist went above and beyond to go out of their way to help us with everything we needed. The locati - The owner/receptionist went above and beyond to go out of their way to help us with everything we needed. The location is a PRIME spot, right in the middle of everything. I cant thank the owners enough for making our stay so comfortable. The bathroom sink had a leak in it but was manageable.
- Faye (7/5): Good - Loved the staff, very attentive and offered advise for locations,food etc The local area was unsafe for young woman travellers.
- Ramila (8/5): Very good -
- Rosemarie (8/5): - Staff very friendly hotel in good position for the port which is what we were looking for!
- Javier (8/5): Very good -
- Hasan Yekta (6/5): Otel Hak. - Otel güzel. Çalışanlar iyi niyetli. Fakat bulunduğu konumdaki sokaklar teksas gibi. Gece dışarı çıkarken 2 kere düşündürüyor insanı. Otopark problemi var. Aile ile gelenlere önermem.
- Derya (8/5): Very good - Friendly and helpful staff is the best thing about this tiny hotel. Also the beds are comfortable and its location is very convenient. It is close to one of the main train stations and bus stops. The hotel is in a very busy area with nightlife so it might get quite noisy at night. The rooms are non-smoking but we had to change ours as it stank of cigarettes but we probably wouldn't have been able to do that if it had been full.
- Mohammad (5/5): Passable - The hotel staff's behaviour is good. They were helpful. The mattress of the beds was comfortable. The air conditioning system was good. The first problem is its location. Though it is close to the Rail station, it is very difficult to find it out. Even Google maps can't find its pin point locations. This small apartment hotel is simply hiding out among lots of restaurants and shops. Even in most cases local people find it difficult to locate it.
- Musafiroglu (9/5): Superb -
- Laura (8/5): Good value for money. - Good location but be aware of noise from street, staff was very helpful and friendly, good value for money. Perfect place if you’re out late. Noise and could have been cleaner.
- YANINA (8/5): - Basit ama temiz ve konforlu bir otel. Kısa süreli seyahat için tavsiye ederim.
- Eric (9/5): Superb - I've stayed at this hotel for a 2nd time writing this review and requested them if we could get another room as last time, they where more then happy to make sure i had another room and a double bed instead of 1 when i asked for it, This is a lovely service and i appreciate it.
The rooms are clean, and the location is great since it's 5 minutes away from the shopping district.
The Wi-Fi was stable and reliable (something i see as important if you are in another country)
Whenever there was something to ask, the staff was always helpful and made sure to remember your name and your questions even days after.
Overall the hotel is a very enjoyable stay on a great close location that would be wonderful for travels that like to live near the shopping district.
And the price is really affordable! The beds (in my personal opinion) where a-bit on the stiffer side, but this is a personal preference and your opinion may be different on this
Other then that there is nothing to complain about.
- Andreas (5/5): Passable - Good location in Alsancak, but very noisy until late night. Many bars and restaurants around. Very noisy from the outside, many bars and restaurants nearby where people talk and music plays until late.
You can also hear “everything” from the rooms next doors.
The bathroom is a bit stinky and there’s no breakfast at the hotel, but many cafes are nearby.
- Jawahir (10/5): - The people there are very very helpful and kind. I would totally recommend
- Ilay isilay (10/5): - Alsancak içinde heryere yürüme mesafesinde olan tatlış bir otel ❤️ aşırı derece de yüksek alerjim olduğunu belirtince tekrar temizlik yapmışlar otel sahipleri çok kibar hiç bir sorun yaşamadık çok rahat ettim
- Melisa (10/5): Great location, great hospitality - Everything was ok just a bit spenny
- Georgios (10/5): Exceptional -
- Teodor (7/5): Good - Very good price for the location The night shift staff was a bit not friendly.
- Lili (7/5): Good - great location very close to metro station the hotel in the bar area, very noisy until 1am.
- Verified traveler (10/5): - İzmir’e ilk defa geldiğimiz için tereddüt ederek rezervasyon yapmıştık ama otel bizi çok memnun etti. Çok temizdi, nevresimler tertemiz kokuyordu çok memnun kaldık ayrıca çok samimi karşılandık her şeyden gayet memnun ayrıldık. Tek eksisi caddedeki barlar biraz gürültülü ama gece 1-2 gibi gürültüler de azalıyor.
- Düriye (6/5): - Odalar küçük ama temizdi.
- Tural (10/5): Exceptional -
- Maria (6/5): Pleasant - Location and personel. The room was spacious All the hotel was dark. Carpets in the stairs were dirty or old
- Jennifer (8/5): It’s centrally located, a very reliable kind hotel staff members. - Centrally located. Very good value for money, the staff were very helpful, polite, kind people- mainly Irkut, who went above and beyond to help. No lift available. The corridor was a bit dim, made the place looking a bit sad.
- Ayush (8/5): Very good - Hotel is situated at the best location. Alsanchuk street is just at 5 min walk. And the beach is at 10 min walk. Great vibe.
- Galyna (10/5): Recommended - The staff is great. Very helpful, kind and with amazing level of English which is a rear thing in Türkiye.
The room was clean with everything you might need. But there is problem with soundproof (you can hear your neighbours visiting the bathroom in details...).
Also, be ready to use stairs, the hotel has 4 floors and there is no elevator. They help to bring your bags upstairs if needed.
The hotel is located very close to the water front on the pedestrian street, so three is a lot places to eat and have a drink around, but no taxi can come close to the hotel. You will have to walk up to 150m to catch a taxi.
- Arslan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Guzel (7/5): Good -
- Xanthe (8/5): Great hotel in the centre - The staff were super friendly and the location was great! Super central and in the thick of it. Note that there isn't a lift and since you're so central, a taxi can't pick up and drop off right outside. This didn't really bother me though.
- Dmitriy (10/5): Exceptional -
- Haitham (9/5): Superb - unbeatable location ! in the best area of izmir next to all types of transportations and amazing area to walk around.
room size is very very good. host is super nice and friendly, speaks perfect english so no problems in communication at all. unstable internet and funny smell in the bathroom.
- Annous (10/5): Great hotel! - Our second time in this well located hotel. The manager is super friendly and speakes very good English. The hotel is in the middle of a bustling street but still provides a quiet place to stay in. Highly recommended!
- Alexander (10/5): A great base to explore Ephesus/Pammukale/Izmir - Location, staff, size of the room, cleanliness, helpfulness of staff Only critique is I wish there was more than 1 socket in the room
- Nehar (8/5): Great value for money Hotel in the heart of Alsancak - The hotel is located in the heart of Alsancak. It has very nice cafes, bars, restaurants, and shops.
Considering the temperatures of the city during the summer, the room is well equipped with AC and a fan.
Transportation wise it is only 4 mins walking distance from the Alsancak Pier and 6 mins away from the train which directly takes you to the airport. It totally connects you to the whole city, from the historic market to the shopping malls., from airport to the beach at Foca.
The staff are also very friendly and helpful, they are very open and appreciative if you have any comments :) Nothing I can think of.
- Anonymous (8/5): Very good -
- Genevieve (10/5): Would recommend the hotel very good value for money - The staff was very very nice.
- Peter (7/5): Good - Wonderful location, and very friendly staff. Rooms are basic, but good value for what you pay. The only downside is the amount of noise you can hear from neighbours.
- YOSHITO (10/5): - 大変親切にしていただきました。
- Uzay (6/5): Pleasant -
- Roberta (9/5): Superb - The location is very central and in a street full of bar and restaurants, the best area in Izmir in my opinion. The staff was always kind and helpful and they let us check-in very early when we arrived in the morning. The room was clean and comfortable.
- Uwe (10/5): It was a pleasure to stay here! it is amazing - It s so amazing all is the best
