This is in the best hotel we have stayed in Izmir. We checked out yesterday and will be back again…read more Walking through the lobby, I was immediately struck by the warmth and kindness of the owner and staff. The hotel staff was extremely kind, professional, attentive, friendly and helpful. The rooms were clean, spacious and well equipped with everything you would need for a comfortable stay. The hotel has its Hamam (Turkish bath), swimming pool and spa. Here for business? 2 very large, well equipped conference rooms are available for your business needs. What makes this hotel truly stand out to me is the location. It's smack dab in the middle of everything. Walking distance to the famous Knok Bazaar and surrounded by every store imaginable. The best shops, restaurants, Baklava stores and more. 5 minute walk to the beautifully stunning harbor where you can spend the day strolling or taking a boat ride to take in the sea

The hotel sits right on the water, so if your pocketbook can stand a $1,000/night set back, knock yourself out and get you one of those "sea view" rooms. Since this trip was already hitting my bank account pretty hard, I opted for the more economic alternative - the "city view" room. Still, the hotel was a steal on one of those hotel sites for what you get. The service is impeccable. The staff is very friendly and are all empowered to make guests feel most comfortable. The rooms ... now ... the rooms are another story all together --- WAY beyond impeccable! I seldom have the opportunity to stay in one of those highfalutin hotels here in the states. This place amazed me. By nature (nor profession), I am not a techie geek (contrary to popular belief - my life in IT at the world's largest telecom company is just a facade), but I had the best time with the technology in that room. Everything was operated by a remote - the lights, the television, the iPod dock, the blinds, the alarm, the wake up call - EVERYTHING. Way Cool! The rooms were very large (for Turkey standards), the beds very comfortable with awesome linens (very much my "thing"). The water closet looked like it was straight out of the latest Architectural Digest - all chrome and glass tile. It was gorgeous with the the glass wall looking out into the bedroom (for privacy, they have installed a - again, remote controlled - blind system). We did have an opportunity to taste the dining menu - they had most anything a traveler would want - I opted for the peppercorn steak, which was well prepared, and served with a side of veggies and couscous. Great stay in an awesome hotel. If you find yourself in Izmir, I highly recommend the Key Hotel (Key Otel) - Go ahead ... splurge for the "sea view room" - you know you want to!!

Loved the bed, TV, couch, footstool... all of it. And... they have built-in Turkish bathrooms in every room? SIGN ME UP. One tip: I think breakfast is actually cheaper if you don't include it in your room price. The menu said it was 35 lira per person and the fee on our room charge was waaaaayyyy more than that (45 euro). Maybe skip the breakfast if it's not included in your room fee, and then just pay for it when you get there instead.

Stayed here overnight before our flight from Izmir to Istanbul…read more This place was tough to find with the entrance down a small side-street. We stopped several times and asked directions from locals while just blocks away (no one knows where 1367 Sok is?). Took a wrong turn onto a one-way street and got onto a freeway. Making it back was a minor miracle and finally found someone who showed us the right street, but enough of our navigational woes! Our room was nice with a soft comfortable bed and they have a "pillow menu" where you can customize your level of support. After our adventure getting here, we didn't want to stray far and grabbed dinner in the hotel restaurant.

There was an overpriced minibar that I would avoid. The staff was helpful and spoke fluent English. There's an indoor pool and a restaurant but I didn't use either. The executive lounge on the 30th floor is nice. The internet in my room was quite fast though I think a bit pricey. There are many many restaurants and stores within walking distance of this hotel. I think this place is expensive by Izmir standards but inexpensive by US standards. There are other nice hotels in the area that might also be worth checking out. But I would likely stay here again because I can't really think of any reasons not to.
