Renaissance Izmir Hotel

The location is near the sea, just a few minutes walk from the harbor, the surrounding is very lively, the hotel service staff is warm and polite, very good hotel, the price is very affordable. The only drawback is that the parking lot may be a little far away, parking and picking up the car requires the help of the waiter, which is a bit inconvenient.

Compared with the movenpick near Istanbul Airport, this one is simply too good, there is nothing wrong with it, the location, service and price are all good. If I have to say a disadvantage, it is that the hotel here is too hot no matter how I close the windows... I always sleep with the windows open...

We booked a club room with a lounge. We were completely disappointed with the lounge. It is a small room on the second floor. The description of the lounge states that there is breakfast, afternoon snacks and evening snacks and drinks. Breakfast is served in the main restaurant, with a beautiful panorama and a wide selection of dishes, but nothing fancy. (You will not see red fish and soft cheeses here). The lounge has tea, coffee, Fanta, Cola, nuts, cookies, raisins and fruits. There were no afternoon snacks in the form of desserts, like in other lounges. The coffee machine was constantly out of order, as the water ran out. We tried to refill the tank ourselves, but we did not succeed. When contacting the reception, the staff did not respond, they sent standard replies to email. Evening snacks consist of one salad, three types of sandwiches, sometimes a meat dish, sometimes a vegetarian dish, olives, two desserts, fruits and local wine, beer. This was the poorest lounge I've ever visited and it was a complete disappointment. The spa area is not bad, but the locker rooms are already tired and there were workers constantly cleaning the premises, it was difficult to relax.

In the center of Izmir, you can see the sea and walk out to explore

The location is within walking distance to the beach and the Grand Bazaar, and the staff were friendly and very helpful. There is a hammam in the basement, and you can use the self-serve hammam for free, but it is unisex, so I was worried about not having a swimsuit. The room was Marriott standard and comfortable! I recommend the junior suite.

The service quality that started at the reception continued to increase. Everyone seemed to be mobilized to please us. The handwritten note from the General Manager was also very kind. It was a great experience.
