st945 Palas Otel

Good location - walking distance to the bazaar and konak square and absolutely amazing staff, so kind and helpful! I also really recommend getting the breakfast- it was delicious

Tottally recommended! The place was nice, the staff was really helpful and always there! The hotel rooms and bathroom was clean. The neighbourhood is pretty close to a metro station and close to the city center even on foot 15/20 min. The neighbourhood may seem little bit "sketchy" at first but do not be intimidated, even tho it's pretty diverse with Turks, Arabs, Africans, all of them are nice, just be careful on the narrow roads since the drivers arent paying much attention to the rules. Definitely try the local food shops and restaurants and cafes, which may not look fancy but the food and turkish kahve taste amazing! My recommendations Gaziantepli Orhan Baba which makes amazing meals and local soups known as corba. And also down the road a small coffee/tee house named Mardin Cay Evi, with traditional old style stools and tables, they make amazing turkish kahve and the prices are incredibly cheap!

Great location for exploring the old city. We chose this hotel primarily because of its proximity to the Kapalı Çarşı, and it was an excellent base for sightseeing. The hotel itself was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. While the immediate surroundings were not the most attractive part of the city, this did not affect our stay. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised by some of the local bakeries and small shops nearby, which gave us a glimpse of everyday local life. Overall, a good choice for anyone looking for convenient access to Izmir’s kapali çarşi.

The room was spacious however the shower was super inconvenient. While showering It wet the whole bathroom floor and the hot water wasn’t very hot
