Crowne Plaza Izmir

Have stayed one week at Crowne Plaza İzmir. As İ just recently stayed at leading hotels such as Brown's, The Berkeley and Claridge's (London), I would dare to say that the standard of this hotel is, actually, on the same level. İ have never before been so positively surprızed as regards to a hotel. This is one of the few hotels in Turkey which can be compared to Çiragan Palace in İstanbul - although this is more for relaxation. My room remınds me of the new rooms in the new Four Season Hotel Cairo. My bed is 2,5 meter... more

We were a little leery as the reviews had been a bit mixed, but, wow! We loved this hotel and the location. It isn't the best location for sight seeing around Izmir, but it is terrific for a beach vacation. The area is still predominantly used by locals and other Turks, not tourists from all over. The pier and the waterfront park were delightful. There were no expensive luxury yachts moored in the area. Most of the boats were working fishing vessels. The service at the hotel was courteous and top notch. We had a suite which had... more

We were pleasantly surprised with this hotel. Although it is in an out-of-the way location, it was wonderful and quiet. The service was execeptional and the sea views are wonderful.

I am glad that I read about this Hotel through TripAdvisor.com, as my travel agent was pushing heavily the Hilton. The Hotel was as good as described--very clean, modern and truly top-notch spa facilities. (Warning: make any massage arrangements in advance as my wife could only sit their being envious when told that there was only a spot available for a massage for a male that evening). Heartily recommend this location.

Tip-top hotel! Facilities are very clean, spruce, and modern. Rooms are extremely spacious with a fashionable and luxurious twist. Quite a newly-appointed hotel. Food is great too--well-stocked buffets with tasty cuisine. It is near an amazingly huge and well-equipped shopping center, also. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Crown Plaza Izmir is a real gem! Swift Check-In and beautiful curvy rooms (their chair in the room was one of the most comfy i've ever sat in though their bathrooms were a tad dark) Dinner and breakfast was a great spread of east-west (much expected from properties chosen by Insight) with very good lentil soup! The adjacent target type hypermart (open till midnight) has a good array of foodies & clothes (Mavi Jeans). An because we checked in at the end of ramadan, crown plaza was giving away ferero rocher chocolates (not... more

I visited the hotel on more than one occasion, and would definately return. I arrived in Izmir, and began initially seeking hotels in the city centre. Most of them were way overpriced, and there was alot of surrounding noise. I then travelled on to the Crowne Plaza, and was delighted that it was just out of town, enough for peace and relaxation, but close enough when I needed it. The staff were all very friendly. The hotel had been built a year at that time, and is very modern. The sea view rooms were outstanding, and if you are unable... more

After travelling for about 26 hours, I thankfully entered the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Balcova, Izmir - Turkey. The warm welcome and excellent service is what a tired traveller needs. At once, after entering a room, so luxurious and cosy it was very easy to forgot the ardious journey and relish in all the creature comforts. Afer a refreshing shower in the ultra modern bathroom, I was ready to set out to experience the sights and sounds of Izmir. The hotel is equipped with a fantastic gym and spa which has extended hours so if you are an early... more

Very nice, modern, tastefully decorated hotel. Also I like the fact that there was a shopping mall very close by which had great deals. If you happen to go there don't forget to check out one of the Turkish department stores called Ozdilek. Great prices, best quality Turkish towels and robes etc. Back to the hotel, the service was great and the staff was very helpful. The hotel was spotless at all times. I would definetely recommend it to everyone who wishes to visit Izmir. Traffic may shock you at first but... more

The Crowne Plaza in Izmir is 20 minute driving from the city center, but it is definitely worth the drive. Situated in the furthest extreme of Izmir's bay, this very modern hotel has VERY good service and VERY nice rooms (especially if you have a view to the bay). Additionally, as a guest, you can enter the spa (one of the best spas in the region) for free, which has two pools, a Turkish bath, Jacuzzi, sauna, hydropool, etc. Try getting a weekend deal, where the prices go considerably lower than during the week.
