Tav Airport Hotel Izmir

Tav Airport Hotel Izmir

10/10 Excellent
"Nice stay at Tas Hotel located inside the airport. Has a quick security check to enter and helpful staff. We had the suite which with a seating room separate from the bed area. Bed was comfortable and climate control for each room. Windows do not open and view is not great but remarkable quite for being at the airport. International or Domestic gates are a couple minutes walk. Big breakfast with hot items and gluten free options. Mystery Foods gluten free restaurant is 10 min away and Ofuro hotel has great massages in the same area. We spend an extra day to decompress from our trip and enjoyed it all."

"Check in was fast and staff friendly. Breakfast is very good, varied and fresh. My only criticism is the pillows aren't soft or fluffy; the AC turns on from a wall switch and you have to get up to regulate. Further, the bathroom mirror lights don't turn off, so I slept with a face mask. Those things keep it from being a great hotel."
