Hotel Marla

  : This was our first time in Turkey and we stayed a week in Izmir based at the Marla Otel. We found it a great value hotel, the room was comfortable and clean. I have to say what really made our stay here was the staff. They are really genuinely friendly and helpful. Gne the bell boy particularly went above and beyond to be of help and gave us lots of tips and suggestions for places to see or restaurants to try. Gne English is really good and it added to our holiday experience to chat with him every day. Bersel was also ready with a smile to brighten your day and happy to help in any way and her English is also excellent.We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet every morning. There is a good choice of cheeses, salad, breads and cereal. There is also different specialty dishes that varied each day; fried eggplant in tomato sauce, potato dishes, sausage dishes ( I don't know what the dishes were called but the ones I tried were all tasty!). Look out for the hotel cat that usually makes an appearance at some stage before she's whooshed back out the door!The rooms were always clean and comfortable and ours had a great view of the city from the 9th floor. The location of the hotel is excellent for heading out on foot and we walked everywhere in Izmir.
  : There was nothing I didn't like. The facilities were as you would expect of a three star hotel, maybe not brand new but overall the price reflects this. There was some noise from the street especially at the weekend but it didn't stop us from sleeping.

  : This Hotel is the worst. Unfriendly front desk who has no heart. Rooms are old and full of smoke. Only the lobby shows some elegance.

  : Location
  : There are two bars right across from the hotel playing loud music all night. Also, one night, we heard screaming (DRUNK PEOPLE) coming from the street, and there were two people fighting. Our room was extremely hot, and the bathroom needs some remodeling.
