Gödence Hotels from S$60

"I stayed for three nights on business. This was my first time in Izmir and I'm glad I booked at the Swissotel. My room was spacious, clean, and quiet. The breakfast was outstanding. I think this was the best spread of breakfast items I have seen in Turkey during my travels. I didn't have a chance to access the pool, but the grounds were beautiful and it had been warmer I would have spent some time outside by the pool. The immediate vicinity didn't have a lot of restaurant options, but if you walk north and then go left at the first stoplights, you can enjoy a nice walk down a market street and then at the end of the market street is where you will see a lot of great shops and restaurants. I grabbed a great dinner and some baklava, which was vacuumed sealed so I could take it back to Canada. This hotel is close to the water and only a 15 minute walk from the famous huge market in Izmir, which seemed to stretch on forever (I almost got lost). If I visit Izmir again, I will definitely book this hotel if the price is right!"

"Excellent customer service. Very friendly and attentive staff."

"Todo estaba en orden. "

"It was very handy spot at the airport but way above expectations as a hotel. "

"Modern hotel with fantastic view. Property has pool, spa, and gym. Staff very nice."

"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."

"The staff are all excellent. Very respectful and professional. The hotel is immaculately clean. "

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

"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. "
