Nicea Hotel

Located next to the Ephasis museum it's a short walk to the restaurants in the old town.

The staff was friendly, they spoke english, they¿re right in the middle of the action in izmir, they have tours available at the hotel that you can take part in. They served breakfast.

The hotel is basic there isn¿t ¿Views¿ but i knew that going in. It¿s in the downtown so its location, staff, and easy tour access make up for it.

Location was perfect for our Selcuk / Ephesus adventures.

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 room was confortable, the breakfast was good and the location is fantastic!

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.

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.

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.

Great location. Easy walk to bus or train station. Across the road from dolmus to Ephesus. Breakfast is great for a vegetarian/vegan. In addition to normal items there were always 2 cold veggie dishes. The ladies that worked there were very nice and welcoming. There is a tree lined sidewalk to Temple of Artemis and most of the way to Ephesus. Ephesus is not that big and dolmus drops you off at lower north entrance. If you get there first thing, you can beat some of the tour groups to the library as they seem to start at the upper south gate. There is no reason to take a taxi.

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 smokeWasn’t cleaned once in our 4night stayAfter three nights we had to ask for fresh towelsWe had to ask for toilet paper The breakfast was a dished up plate and not a buffet like advertisedMy child didn’t receive a plate of food and had to share with us

Everything was fine. Good location, comfortable and clean.

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.

The bathroom needs renovation.but just for a night its just fine.

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.

The location is great, the staff were super friendly and helpful. The breakfast was excellent.

Location and Staff was amazing, breakfast was good, we also got a free room upgrade

The air-conditioning wasn't good enough for the size of the room

Great location, room was decent, breakfast was decent, AC worked great. Would recommend for a comfortable night or two if you are looking for something more budget friendly.

A bit older and dated, could hear everything from the outside at night and the very loud early morning prayer time.
