Riva Hotel Alsancak
I don't recommend it. It wasn't that clean. The breakfast was a 5-star one, I liked it so much.

Gran Via Alsancak
Viva La Vita Butik Otel
Stay was great. Lots of restaurants and bars just outside the hotel. My only complaint is the room to the door is quite thin and blocks little sound. With the elevator just outside my door, I could hear everyone walking past. I would stay again.
