Nicea Hotel

Even though my flight was delayed and I arrived late at night, a staff member who didn’t speak English kindly greeted me with a smartphone showing hotel information in English, allowing for a smooth check-in, which I really appreciated. They also carefully checked the updated bus schedule to the Izmir bus terminal for me. The breakfast was simple, with limited options available.

People were very friendly there. They upgraded our room, we arrived very late from Izmir airport. Breakfast good!! Also, they let us to stick around for few hours, next day, before our trip back to Istanbul . Also, it is a travel agency connected with this hotel, reception area is their office, too. White Rock Big Travel, they arrange private tour for us in the morning and helped with securing bus reservation for trip back to Istanbul Stairs to get to the room, but is manageable

The carpet at the entrance Hall is very dirty.

Location was good. Close to restaurants for dinner. Down the street from the Efes Museum. We had a car and drove down from Izmir Airport. Staff was grumpy at first, but kind afterward by giving us a 2L six pack of water. Breakfasts were so-so, could have had more variety every day. We booked on two tours, one to Pamukkale and to Efes. Tour guide was very good. AC in the room worked, thank goodness. Parking was an issue. The whole place needs a facelift, stair carpets are worn and holey, the place needs painting, the bathroom had a lot of mould in the shower along the floor. The shower doors don’t close properly, so on the first night after I had used it, I found a big swimming pool on the floor beneath the sink. It’s the first hotel I’ve ever been in where I had to clean up the floor of the bathroom. Our room facing the back garden is not sound proof. Men talking until 12:45 AM kept us up until I yelled at them to shut up from my bed. Then they went inside. The place does not look like it’s been kept up and not as in the photos. Place needs a good clean. TV couldn’t turn on, too small. The bed was lumpy. I had back aches in the morning. Room was small. I overpaid for such a place. We stayed three nights, they only gave us towels and toiletries for the first night. We asked for towels, toiletries and toilet paper but nobody obliged. Also we were cold without a blanket and no blanket was given.

I would not recommend this hotel. My experience was far below expectations, and I believe some reviews on Booking.com may be misleading. It seems there may be efforts to encourage overly positive feedback, which doesn’t reflect the reality. - The pricing suggests a 4-star standard, but the quality and service fell far short of that. - Customer support was extremely poor. The staff member at the front desk was unhelpful and dishonest about the internet connectivity issue. The problem was only resolved after I directly contacted Mr. Ismail. - Cleanliness was lacking, and breakfast was very disappointing — both in quality and hygiene. - There is no direct vehicle access to the hotel. Guests must walk from the main road with their luggage, and no one offered assistance. - Upon arrival, the reception was unattended, and the entrance was poorly lit most of the time. - A staff member frequently smoked at the hotel entrance and showed a lack of professionalism and basic hospitality. - The overall management team, including Mr. Ismail, could benefit greatly from formal training in hotel operations and guest services.

Decent air-conditioned room with ensuite bathroom and TV. The bed is good size for solo traveler. Clean towels provided and changed upon request. Toiletry such as bath gel and small soap provided. There is also hair-dryer in the bathroom. A bit noisy and dark hallway light up by body sensing only.

Perfect location, excellent communication, friendly and respectful treatment and good air conditioning The sheets were old and small. There were no linens. There were also no trash or recycling bins.

The economy twin only has a window to the air shaft.

Only thing nice about the Hotel is the size of the room and the location Room smelled like smoke Wasn’t cleaned once in our 4night stay After three nights we had to ask for fresh towels We had to ask for toilet paper The breakfast was a dished up plate and not a buffet like advertised My child didn’t receive a plate of food and had to share with us

Very good

Everything was fine. Good location, comfortable and clean. -

Location is good, everything nearby. Moderate breakfast with helpful staffs and they allowed me 3 hrs late check out. morning wake up with outside noise, shower cabin was broken which results a flooded bathroom floor.

Location No elevator, not very comfortable beds, outdated.

Staying at the hotel was great. Although I checked in about midnight, the receptionist ,Mr. Serhat was energetic, friendly and helpful. He also helped me with a few special requests. Nothing

Pleasant

Internet worked only on the lobby, warm water only on special request

Very well maintained!! I liked everything

The location is perfect! You have the buses that brings you to ephesus and Sirince also the taxi station that will bring you to Mary's House. its walking diatance to the St. John's tomb,castle and archeologicql sights. Near the hotel there's a street filled with restaurants and also leads you to the train station. There's also a grocery store near the hotel. We have a simple and good breakfast. Our Room was recently renovated and has a beautiful view in the terrace. We will surely comeback again and recommend this hotel to our friends and relatives!thank you so much we have a pleasant stay! The bathroom needs renovation.but just for a night its just fine.

The locations is very central and all the staff is lovely and helpful

Cosy hotel close to bus station. There are cafes, restaurants nearby. Delicious and diverse breakfast. The Owner was very kind and offered his home-made jam to taste. The room was small but comfortable. There was a small balcony too.
