Piano Hotel

It's too bad. It's like a prison cell. Don't book it.

I stayed in a superior double room, so the room was spacious and free mineral water was provided. There are many hotels in the area, but this Piano Hotel has a stylish feel. There are kebab shops and locantas on the main street, so you won't have any trouble finding something to eat. The hotel breakfast had a wide variety and was very satisfying. There seem to be various types of room available, so it's a good idea to take a good look around before deciding.

The worst hotel I stayed in Turkey this time, and the only one that didn't even provide a bottle of water. A small bottle of water in the mini bar costs 30₺, while you can buy 1.5 liters for less than 15₺ in the supermarket. The guest rooms go up to the fourth floor, and there is no elevator. The door lock is the kind with a round handle and a button, which I haven't seen in China for at least ten years. There is no sound insulation at all, and you can hear people talking and walking in the corridor clearly. The only thing is that the breakfast is okay, but if you go too late, there will be nothing. The hotel is less than ten minutes' walk from Basmane Station, and you can walk to Smyrna and the clock tower in more than ten minutes. I don't recommend any accommodation near Basmane Station, or it should be said that Izmir is not worth staying overnight. The transportation is convenient and there are many people, but it doesn't feel lively. Instead, it is messy like Latin America. You can run into several refugees when you go out to buy something.
