Key Hotel, Izmir, Turkey - a Review

Loving this little hotel.

It is a former bank building right on the harbor. The inside is all grays & blacks, hard surfaces and reflective materials. Perhaps you would think it unwelcoming, by the colors, but in fact the atmosphere feels great.

Room 308 is lovely with all the amenities - huge, harbor view, coffee, minibar, desk space, couch, huge bed, motorized black-out blinds, strong wifi.... all the good things.

The service is very attentive and kind. Top notch.

The breakfast was quite an elegant looking spread of both European and Turkish breakfast foods. Dinner was excellent with exceptional service. I had a wonderful conversation with the bartender about the local wines and he even exposed me to some new grape varietals.

The one downside I can see so far is the lack of a driveway and obvious entrance. Very strange - we drove around the hotel several times looking for the entrance. We finally had to ask for directions and cross our fingers.


Room 308
So many windows!
On to the nitty gritty -

Toiletries - everything and displayed beautifully in a box
Coffee & Tea - nescafe and powdered creamer
Robes & slippers - yes
Hairdryer - yes

I would highly recommend the Key Hotel in Izmir.
