Excellent hotel by the water in Izmir. Easily accessible to many parts of town.
Loved the cleanliness, front desk service and varied breakfast with a view.
Seeing as the lobby is undergoing renovations, it was a fair walk from the new reception to
The building with rooms.
Still has the feel of being an old luxury hotel, however it is maintained enough to still be comfy and nice.

Clean room ,great staff, great location. Good breakfast but little to no meat as common in Türkiye. Great emergency plan as I was lucky enough to have the 6.1 earthquake one night at 11 pm. Staff was directing us to stairs and directing us to outside. Dispensing water quickly to guests which indicated very good training and good leadership. Great job !!

I stayed for three nights on business. This was my first time in Izmir and I'm glad I booked at the Swissotel. My room was spacious, clean, and quiet. The breakfast was outstanding. I think this was the best spread of breakfast items I have seen in Turkey during my travels. I didn't have a chance to access the pool, but the grounds were beautiful and it had been warmer I would have spent some time outside by the pool.
The immediate vicinity didn't have a lot of restaurant options, but if you walk north and then go left at the first stoplights, you can enjoy a nice walk down a market street and then at the end of the market street is where you will see a lot of great shops and restaurants. I grabbed a great dinner and some baklava, which was vacuumed sealed so I could take it back to Canada.
This hotel is close to the water and only a 15 minute walk from the famous huge market in Izmir, which seemed to stretch on forever (I almost got lost).
If I visit Izmir again, I will definitely book this hotel if the price is right!
