Urla Hotel with Pool

"This is a very beautiful hotel. Very high class definitely a 5* Clean and well maintained. Staff are not very good at communicating with each other. I enquired about a breakfast, didn’t end up having it then they tried to charge me for it. Saying I signed for it, I didn’t took them 48 hrs to look into this and they said they would call me to let me know They didn’t I had to keep going back to reception to ask. Then there’s the €100 a night deposit they ask for either in cash ( their own currency) or credit card I guess to make sure you’re not using the mini bar and breaking anything. To get this back you have to have a member of staff check the room before they allow you to check out ! The biggest problem I had was the fact I booked the Izmir Swiss otel for the outside grounds. Izmir doesn’t have any other otel with an outside pool with garden No where on their site does it state or through any other booking partner that the hotel grounds, reception and pool where under construction. I booked this hotel for the pool and when I asked all they could say was yes it’s not ready yet to use. Well I know that because I could hear workman digging up the grounds from my balcony window ! The vibe here is also off, maybe it’s ok if your face fits and you pull up in a flash car but myself and my daughter didn’t really feel welcome. Only really genuine nice person here was the room cleaner lovely lady called Özul Nothing was too much trouble for her. Definitely wouldn’t stay again"

"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."
