Convenient for quick stay with long layover. Dated interior and strong smoke odor. Not many staff speak English, though all are friendly.

The term ‘from your home to ours’ comes true at Izmir Marriott where the staff are very friendly and welcoming and service at its best. Denis the guest relations manageress was perfect with warm welcome and gracious smile and the servitude of making our stay welcome. Very difficult to please my husband as he loves perfection and he felt at ease and happy which means the place and people made its mark. Would definitely recommend a stay here and walking distance to the iconic clock tower . The waterfront makes a peaceful walk throughout the day. Certainly recommend and we will be back soon.

The surprise upgrade to my room when I checked it was nice. The room and staff were nice overall, and the food I ordered for room service was amazing. The view of the ocean/sea from my room was beautiful. I really enjoyed the selections available for breakfast; that’s the best breakfast buffet I have ever seen at a hotel in Izmir. The only issue I had was with the water color in the shower/tub. It was a bit yellowish until you let it run a little while.
