This well maintained historic hotel, located in the center of Izmir among all conveniences, like walking, the promenade, exercising, dining, the bazaar, shopping, the bay, transportation, etc. The friendly staff in the hotel is superb. They are very knowlegable, answer your questions and follow up on everything you need. The breakfast buffet is mouthwatering and healthy. The rooms are very clean and sufficient with good airconditioning and windows that you are able to open for fresh air. Even though well insulated you can occasionally hear a slight bit of traffic noise. Than again, the hotel is located at a major intersection making it all the more convenient to get anywhere quickly.
