8:19:00 PM JustMom 0 Comments


If you're traveling to Izmir, Turkey, and looking for a comfortable and convenient hotel, IBOŞ Hotel might just be the perfect choice. My family and I stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights while attending the WRO 2024 Robo Sports Competition, where our sons represented the Philippine National Robotics Team. Here’s our detailed review of the hotel experience that might help fellow travelers plan their visit to Izmir.

Arrival and Location
We arrived at IBOŞ Hotel around 10 PM, thanks to a reliable van service from Izmir Airport. Despite the late hour, the staff welcomed us warmly. The temperature outside was a chilly 5°C, making us appreciate the cozy ambiance of the hotel even more. Located in a prime spot, the hotel provides easy access to nearby attractions and has a charming coffee shop for quick caffeine fixes.


Rooms and Amenities

Our group booked two triple-occupancy rooms—one on the 3rd floor for my husband and me, and another on the 6th floor for our two sons.

Room Comfort: The rooms were clean and well-maintained. The beds were plush and cozy, although we would have appreciated thicker blankets, especially for those accustomed to warmer climates.

Bathroom Features: The bathrooms were modern and spotless. A highlight was the built-in bidet within the toilet bowl, which added to the comfort and convenience. The shower provided excellent water pressure and warm water, perfect for the freezing weather outside.

Wi-Fi Connectivity: The hotel offers free Wi-Fi, accessible with a login linked to your passport and room details. The connection was stable and fast, making it easy for us to stay connected during our stay.

Dining Options
The Olympos Restaurant serves a hearty breakfast buffet daily, offering a mix of local and international options to suit diverse palates. We especially enjoyed the freshly baked bread and flavorful Turkish spreads. For coffee lovers, the nearby coffee shop is a great spot to relax and savor a cup of authentic Turkish coffee, “Turk Kahvesi”.

Climate Considerations

Given that the temperature outside was near freezing, the rooms didn’t have air conditioning, but it wasn’t necessary. However, for travelers from tropical countries, like us, additional warmer blankets would have been a welcome touch.

Final Thoughts

IBOŞ Hotel offered us a pleasant and convenient stay during our time in Izmir. Its strategic location, excellent bathroom facilities, and friendly service made it a memorable experience. If you’re planning to visit Izmir, whether for leisure or events like the World Robot Olympiad, IBOŞ Hotel is a reliable choice for comfort and accessibility.

Tips for Travelers:

Bring warm clothing if visiting during colder months, as the temperature can drop significantly.

Don’t miss the breakfast buffet at Olympos Restaurant for a taste of Turkish cuisine.

Book rooms in advance, especially during large events like WRO, as the hotel can get fully booked quickly.

For a hassle-free stay in Izmir, IBOŞ Hotel checks all the boxes for comfort, location, and service.
