Hotels in Balcova

"If you are visiting Izmir (Smyrna) for its historic significance, this is the hotel for you. It is across the street from the historic Agora site that is well worth visiting, with artifacts and buildings and arches dating from the time of Alexander the Great. It is also located in the middle of the historic market/bazaar Kemeralti Market, an adventure, delicious and lots of fun. This area feels totally removed from modern, commercial business center Izmir. The staff is amazing and goes beyond most hotel concierge staffs globally in patiently arranging tours and places to explore, both in Izmir and the surrounding area. I particularly want to thank Romeo for his extraordinary help in arranging tours for me and also rescuing me when I got lost. He loves his city and it shows! The justifiably famous Turkish breakfast had many delicious hot and cold choices, all freshly prepared and replenished as needed. My only criticism was the constant smoking in the dining room restaurant. The food was excellent, as was the live band, but you're surrounded in a miasma of smoke."

"Well stocked refrigerator with all types of drinks. Much appreciated "

"Wonderful, kind, friendly and helpful staff all around. Verities of breakfast menu was great!"

"Everything was excellent, location of this hotel was perfect for our stay. My only black point was the lack of a tour desk or concierge advise for tourist information. I wanted a last minute reservation for a tour, front desk staff wanted to help me and offered me a 250 euros tour per person, I went outside and on travel & tour agency got a 110 euros per person, same tour and maybe more vip than expected in the hotel. Please try to be more helpful and defend tourist from scammers. Also taxis are rude and non trustful. "

"Beautiful hotel with a lot of amenity. "

"I was not offered an upgrade for being a VIP member."

"From the moment we arrived we Ben greeted and welcomed from the staff. Room very comfortable and clean. "

"Stayed for 2 nights. It was easy access to most places around the town. I liked the shopping mall next to the hotel. I didn’t like the quality of the food."

"Nice moder hotel with spacious rooms and excellent facilities... The staff were friendly and the spa was great. We had an early check-in and the offered us an accessible room until 12 which we paid for...they had a junior and presidential suite available but didnt offer it to us was a bit disappointing. Overall good experience "
