Hotel Baylan is a three-star hotel at 1299 Sokak No 8 in Basmane, in the Konak district, and it offers a free breakfast buffet, free self-parking and valet parking, free WiFi, a restaurant, a terrace and garden, air conditioning, a 24-hour front desk and room service, laundry and dry cleaning, car rental, a concierge and in-room safes. It is pet-friendly, and an airport shuttle is available on request for a fee per vehicle. Reviewers praise the cleanliness, the friendly staff and the breakfast, while some note the hotel is a little dated.
Location and getting around
Basmane Station is a three-minute walk, which makes the hotel ideal for travellers arriving by train, including the airport train, and Kemeraltı Market is about twelve minutes on foot. Konak Square is about seventeen minutes away, and the Agora of Smyrna is a short taxi ride away. The district around Basmane is a working neighbourhood of small hotels, shops and tea houses rather than a polished tourist zone, so it is lively by day and quieter at night, and a taxi to the Kordon takes only a few minutes.
Rooms and who it suits
The hotel offers seven room types, so ask for the one that suits your group, and request a room away from the street if noise matters to you. It is a good fit for budget-minded couples, solo travellers, backpackers and families who value free breakfast and free parking.
Expect comfortable, clean, straightforward rooms rather than design flair, and a terrace and garden where you can take tea in the evening. It is a sensible base for the bazaar, the Agora and the food walk, and for early starts on the day trips to Pergamon or Şirince.
Good to know
The free breakfast buffet and free parking save real money compared with the city's pricier hotels, and pets are welcome. The airport shuttle costs extra and is arranged on request, so book it in advance if you want it. The street outside is not the prettiest, and one reviewer called it not the greatest, so arrive in daylight if you can and take a taxi after dark. Rates are among the lowest in the city centre for a hotel of this class.
