Clean, spacious room with balcony, excellent bathroom, good A/C, overall great value for money. Very short distance to Metro, taxi stop and convenience store right outside the entrance. Reasonably quiet for the location. WiFi worked well. My only complaint would be that the hotel is quite old and it shows, but it wasn't a big deal to me.

The staff couldn't speak English, but they were kind and courteous. The room was clean and spacious. Since there are only stairs, it might be a bit tough if you have large luggage. There are two convenience stores right below the hotel, many restaurants nearby, and it's very close to the subway station.

I have stayed in over 200 hotels in my lifetime and I have stayed in my fair share of budget hotels but this has to be the worst budget hotel I have ever stayed in in my entire life. Okay… so the good stuff: close to Konak town. 2) friendly staff. The bad: 1) flooding shower tray and broken shower handle and head. 2) tap/faucet hanging on by a three and broken 3) generally unclean all around 4) fridge is at least 30 years old and has mould and black dirt inside and smells musty. Doesn’t appear to have been cleaned in the recent years. 4) double bed and pillows very hard and uncomfortable.

Good budget option

Good budget option. Initially disappointed to be told the price had almost doubled since reserving, but still represented good value. Helpful chaps on the front desk. Nice, fresh, simple breakfast. Good location.

They didn’t speak English at the property but we used translator to communicate. They were very pleasant and warm welcoming. It almost felt like you were staying at a home and not a hotel. Breakfast was great and there is Turrkish tea available at all times. If you are looking for an authentic stay with a great hotel staff stay here. Everything is within walking distance.

Merkez Hotel Izmir is a great hotel to stay in Izmir. It is within short walking distance (15 min max) to Konak Square and Sea Front where you can have wonderful time relaxing. There are numerous options to shop and dine (breakfast to late night dinner). Merkez Hotel Izmir is a nice and clean hotel. I initially booked for 1 night, thinking I may like to stay elsewhere for my remaining 3 nights in Izmir. However, upon my first night stay at the hotel and checking the surroundings, I immediately decided to extend my stay at Merkez Hotel. Staff are great and helpful. You can enjoy tea and coffee all day at the hotel. Breakfast is simple and clean. Various transport facilities are within short walking distance. I highly recommend Merkez Hotel Izmir.

Very serviceminded staff, but very limited English. Clean room! Okay breakfast with bread, butter, jam, vegetables and cheese. Nescafe, water and tea available in the lobby day and night. Hard bed!!! We had a balcony but no furniture to take out there. Rough neighbourhood near Basmane station. A supermarket and restarants just outside. Walkimg distance to city centre.

Wonderful staff who were so friendly and hospitable. Manager was a retired technical teacher, who spoke a little English, used Google translate to communicate. He advised me to buy coach tickets at the local company office, to get a free shuttle to the coach station. Met Ibrahim, who works nights. Such a nice guy, he gave me some vegetables from his garden. Thank you! The hotel is located close to Basmane train station, great for taking the first train in the morning to Selçuk. Free tea throughout the day and adequate breakfast. Room was clean and spacious. Staff so warm and friendly.Exceptional value for money. Thank you for a such a pleasant stay.
