Homestays in Izmir Province, Türkiye

Travelling alone stands and falls with hosts that welcome you and create an atmosphere, where you like to be. I work remotely to pay my travels, therefore I usually sit in the garden and worked on my laptop. The waterfountain, greens and people passing by created a sureal workplace. One day the owner connected me to someone who was going to Pamukkale. He knew, that I was waiting for someone who could take me there (my strategy to get around). That was a great daytrip! The usual things like, breakfast, cleanliness...all are excellent!

The location is good, right next to the museum, very close to St. John’s Church, Isabel Mosque, the castle, and 800 meters away from the ruins of Artemis Temple. The hotel garden restaurant is very flavorful. We live on the first floor. There is no window in the room, so I had to open the door that leads to the courtyard. When I first placed my order, the hotel’s facilities, bed sheets, quilt cover, etc. were a bit old, and the tabletops in the room were too limited. The prices in Selcuk are the lowest among the cities I have visited. When I placed an order, it was 304 yuan. After a while, the order will become 314 yuan, which is a bit expensive. The proprietress can cook Chinese food. But the portion is a bit small and the price is a bit expensive.

Zeer schone hotel. We zijn 2 nachten gebleven. Medewerker SERCAN was zeer vriendelijk. Meeste professioenele hotel medewerker die ik ooit heb gezien. Ik heb me echt thuis gevoeld. Ik raad iedereen aan om deze hotel te bezoeken. Ontbijt was heerlijk. Hotel is goed geschikt voor gezinnen of stelletjes. Je komt tot rust. Locatie is perfect. Het is 5 minuten loopafstand naar Alacati Centrum. Ik zal zeker terug komen 😊 ------ Cok temiz bir Konak. 2 gece kaldik ve cok memnun kaldik. Sercan bey cok cana yakin ve guleryuzluylu, onada ayri tesekkur etmek istiyoruz. Kendimizi evimizdeymisiz gibi hissettik! Sultan Konaki herkese tavsiye ederim. Alacati carsisina 5 dk mesefade. Cocuklarinizla veya cift olarak gidilebilicek bi Konak. Kahvaltiyida cok begendik. Kesinlikte bidaha geri gelicegiz ☺️

The location is on the slope in front of the main road, the boss is friendly, and we gave us two postcards before leaving, wishing us a smooth trip. The top dining room and yard are beautifully furnished. Many rooms have swallow nests outside the door, and the environment is naturally fresh. The room is a bit small, you can settle down, I hope to put a kettle in the house in the future, convenient for tourists who need hot water, haha. The picture is for the bird to fly into the house.

Hotel is new very sweet and clean. It’s nicely decorated, rooms with balconies. Close to marina and square. But need to climb stairs to reach hotel. It was good experience apart of breakfast. Extremely poor breakfast. When we checked in, receptionist (owner) told us that breakfast is very nice. We didn’t book hotel, we were door -customers and we had option to buy room with or without breakfast. So we chose with breakfast since she said “it’s very nice”. That’s was below below below expectations. For two persons 4 slices of cheese (seriously?!) fried eggs, olives, jams, chocolate paste, butter, tomatoes and cucumbers… little bit of bread. We asked additional bread and they brought to us mostly leftovers of bread. It was really disappointing. I mean it’s better to pay for nice breakfast outside enjoy it and stay full. Breakfast served in beautiful plates and cups though.

We checked in on Friday evening. The dinner is not included to the room rate but it is fine we had a nice experience, the food was delicious. Our room was on where the pool was, and located on the upper floor. The room was clean. On Saturday morning we had breakfast and it was good as well. We found out that the hotel part is rented and operated by some other people. In the afternoon we had the wine tasting which was again enjoyable. During the tasting we saw a police car and then when we asked about the situation we were informed by the waiter that some afgan refugees were seen in hotel area where our room was located. This was not a nice feeling for us and we felt a bit uncomfortable but not so suprised because it is not a gated community. At night when we returned from dinner we entered our room and as soon as we turned on the lights we saw 3 bats. We went crazy! Called the reception asap but it took minutes for someone to come to check the room. And when he came in he has informed that bat was seen in another room before which is totally not my problem!!! Then we asked for another room and again it tooks minutes for him to find the lady who deals with the reservations. Then he told us that they can find a room in one of their hotels in Selcuk-İzmir. We did not accept it and we found a place for ourselves in DoubleTree Hilton. When we were checking out the lady asked us to pay for 2 nights (we were going to stay for 2 nights) and of course we did not accept it and paid only for 1 night and left! They did not even apologize for the situation! It was very unprofessional! I will never again stay in this hotel and will never recommend it to my friends! If you want to go and taste the wine and have dinner that’s OK because we were tokd that the real owners of the YediBilgeler are responsible for those services! It was again very rude of the lady who is at the reception to ask for 2 nights fare and not even apologize for once!

4 yaşında ikiz çocuklarımız ile kendimizi evimizde hissettiğimiz sayılı yerlerden oldu Pergamon pansiyon. Sabah el emeği ile hazırladıkları kahvaltı hele mest olduk. Yediklerimiz yetmedi yanımıza aldık :) Pansiyonda değil de yakın bir arkadaşınızın yanında kalıyormuş gibi hissettiren, konumu harika, sahipleri güleryüzlü, ortamı şahane güzel pansiyon! Mutlaka tercih edin, pişman olmazsınız.

Pros: - Location is the main highlight. It’s next to the Basilica, where St. John, The Apostle was buried. Two hundred meters from the hotel are cafes, restaurants and souvenir shops. - Hotel has basic amenities such as shower gel, shampoo, towels (which were folded as elephants towel art), hangers, a hair dryer, and soap. - Split Type Air-conditioner works well - Authentic Turkish Breakfast (the best) - Friendly staff and kittens - Gorgeous atrium, where they serve breakfast. - Free Shuttle to Ephesus with free tips and guidebook (Thanks, Erdal!) - Free parking Cons: - WiFi is slow - No TV - No fridge, minibar Not a big deal. With a lot of places to visit and see in Selçuk, who needs it anyway? Amenities that can be improved: - No lotion or conditioner - The bedsheet is thin - Towels are old but were replaced when I asked.

The hotel is located on the hill, the room with balcony is very suitable for watching the sunrise and sunset night, the small market on Wednesday (Saturday Grand Bazaar), the fruit is cheap and delicious, it is recommended to buy more from this car. Traffic jam, navigation around a few laps, enthusiastic locals, help to contact the hotel to pick up the phone, the ramp in front of the hotel is also opened by the hotel waiter (not steep, just a little far away) the hotel is very beautiful, the boss is very friendly . The most satisfying hotel for friends in Turkey.

We booked 1 night but loved it so much we stayed 3! Breakfast is excellent and room was spacious and spotless. Would highly recommend. The young chap speaks English too. It’s a short stroll to most attractions and set in a very quiet area of natural beauty. Also only a shirt 15 min walk to Ephesus.

The location is about three kilometers away from the ancient city of Ephesus. We are very convenient to drive by ourselves. The car is parked on the road and it is very safe. The homestay is not big, there are five rooms in total, the first floor is the bar and the front desk. When we arrived, the front desk was two young handsome guys, English was very good, very warm and simple, helped us take the luggage upstairs and left immediately, this is the only waiter who has not asked for a tip in Turkey for a few days. The room is not big, there is no need to prepare slippers and toothbrushes, very quiet at night, you can sleep well. However, at 6 o'clock in the morning, you will hear the sound of prayer in the nearby mosque. The best thing is breakfast, rich in variety, reasonable match, this price, it is recommended.

The room is a bit small, the location is good, parking is charged

If you’re looking for a central place to explore Cesme this is a great hotel, which at a few minutes walking distance from the Marina and super easy to travel to many nice beaches & Alacati. Hotel is brand new, super clean, and the hosts Sipan and Comers are just amazing!!! As everything was closed at 9pm, we had awesome time together at the restaurant which I as a solo traveler super enjoyed. Sipan and Comerd, SUPER THANKS for your amazing hospitality and help, will definitely come back!

We chose this hotel for four friends for holidays. We realised that we were making the right decisions in the welcome stage. We were welcomed by a friendly and warm-blooded couple, they also helped with the beaches and places to go :) The hotel is very central as a location. The breakfast is very successful. He also scored full points from us on cleaning. We prefer to go again with comfort.

The store manager and the boss are gentle beauties and have free afternoon tea. Because of carelessness, when checking out, I forgot my mobile phone in the room, and then flew directly to Istanbul. After many ideals, the mobile phone finally returned to China. Thank you manager for your help!

This place more then what it looks like in pictures, perfectly located in heart of Alacati, everything just minute away, Hotel staff is very friendly and welcoming. Room are beautiful kept, clean and tidy, Staying at Maison d'Azur give you feel of Alacati character. We really enjoy every second of staying at this place. Plus the Breakfast they serve in morning top of the range, everything very authentic, hard to choose what is better then other and quantity for two people breakfast can easily eating by 4. If I ever come to Alacati, no doubt will stay at this place.

The experience of staying at Alacati La Vista was very pleasant, the owner was very friendly and welcoming, the rooms were clean, and for breakfast the food was very delicious, she's the good chef... really felt like at home with family. even my son really wanted to spend another night at alacati la vista. I will definitely stay there again when I go to Alacati.

A very cost-effective homestay The hotel is located at the entrance of Alachate, and the car is coming in. When we arrived, we were still cleaning, and the proprietress was very enthusiastic to change us to a room with a yard. Although the room is not big, it is very clean. Breakfast is at the door of the room, and the homestay feels like home. Alachat is not big, it is very comfortable to stroll around.

This hotel is to give a high score, that is, the homestay, the host is two old ladies, very warm and friendly. Because I came here during the low season in winter, so no one could burn the fireplace and drink tea. It was very warm and comfortable. Unfortunately, there are two aspects. If you sit in the yard and drink tea in the summer, it will be beautiful, but you can't burn it in summer. The second was to rush back to Fethiye for paragliding, so I didn't eat two breakfasts, and the old lady's craftsmanship didn't know how. This hotel has relatively few Chinese. I think it is recommended if you go to Alacati, after all, the small yard feels very good.
