Hotel 86 By Katipoğlu

When booking my trip to izmir I wanted a hotel that was in a good location and a balcony with a nice view. At first after reading the reviews I was a bit skeptical about if I was going to get the balcony that I wanted as the information on the reviews and listing is not very clear but I took the chance anyway. I'm glad I took the chance and booked hotel 86 I cannot stop singing the praises of this hotel. The location is amazing right outside is the metro and right opposite is a huge bazaar that has pretty much everything in it. You could also catch a taxi outside or just walk a couple of mins to use the tram. The staff are lovely and the facilities are great. The room was lovely and clean looked exactly like the listing pictures. breakfast was your standard turkish style buffet breakfast (cold meats, veggies, tea, cheeses etc) which is not my kind of breakfast but my husband went everyday and loved it. I can't fault this hotel the balcony was stunning the perfect place to just wind down after a long day of exploring. The balcony was a small balcony but it was big enough for me to take the 2 chairs and small table from inside of the room out and sit comfortably to see the view of the city. I was given a baby cot on request which my son loved to play and sleep in. There was room cleaning everyday. The staff spoke limited english but made the effort to communicate and meet your needs. There was complimentary biscuits at reception and a complimentary soup that was served everynight which my husband loved. The rooftop restaurant views were stunning which is where breakfast was also served. The location was brilliant with everything within walking distance the pier, clocktower and bazaar all being within a 10-15 min walk. I would recommend to anyone staying in izmir to stay in this hotel it's one of the best I've stayed at so far in Turkey. I look forward to visiting again and staying at hotel 86. Thanks for making my birthday this year one to remember!

The rooms were very clean! The cleaning staff did an exceptional job for my two week stay, I always felt very comfortable. The breakfast was great, I would have liked some more vegan options for sure, as a lot of the food was cheese, meat or egg. But it was still very enjoyable and I could always take some fruit or little halva bars for snacks during the day. The free soup in the evening (22:00) was almost always vegan, so that was a nice bonus. The staff speaks good English and they quickly responded to any request I had.

I was there for paperwork & shopping so the location was my favourite. The staff make this place even better, very accommodating & helpful. They held on to our bags on last day run around & called us taksi whenever we needed one. As it was my partners first time around the area, we choose to eat out for lunch & breakfast so cannot comment on restaurant but we got breakfast as room service and it was more than enough topped up with fruits.

This property is in a very good location. Very close to buses, taxis, the ferry was a short walk about 10 mins and the metro is right outside the hotel door as well as bus stops. The Bazaar is right across the street and lots of food around. The house keeping changed my sheets daily and cleaned my room very well. I was very pleased with the service! Very nice for the price.

The overall modern layout of the hotel, it was literally right in front of the metro station, friendly and helpful staff and good breakfast. Room and beds were comfortable too! Great location and felt pretty safe too. View from the top floor (restaurant) is pretty great too
