Top hotels in Old Town Izmir
ibis Izmir Alsancak
"The only downside is that room 305 lacks electrical outlets in the bathroom and by the bed. It was difficult to use hair accessories without access to a mirror."

Riva Hotel Alsancak
"I was happy with my stay. The hotel is in a very central location, most of the hotels they list here are far away from city center which is not Konak but actually Alsancak. The room was clean and the breakfast was good. Staff were smiling and helpful. I recommend this hotel."
