Pros (+) The hotel is well situated, being close to all amenities and public transport and shops. The room was huge compared to the small room we had in Istanbul. Breakfast was a delight with a large selection of typical Turkish dishes, i.e. breads, juices, olives, cheeses, teas and coffee. The bathroom was spotless. All in all a very nice stay and will stay there again if we happen to stay in Izmir.
Cons (-) The bedding smelled rather badly of stale smoke although the hotel is a non-smoking zone. Pity that visitors do not respect the hotel's polices and other visitors.
