Ilayda Avantgarde Hotel

We went to Ephesus during the day and booked this hotel for the evening. It is 23 mins drive from Ephesus. After checking out the hotel and surroundings, I wish we had booked here for longer. The hotel is across the road from the sea. There are plenty of nice restaurants around. Highly recommend Bottarga restaurant, it is 5 mins walk from the hotel. The hotel has a really nice roof top swimming pool !!! The view is amazing from the roof top. You can see multiple landmarks from Kuşadası at here. The room is really clean and the staff is helpful. The hotel has its own parking lot, we just drive the car to the front of the building and the staff will park it into the parking lot. There two things could be better though: * Breakfast, the options are a bit limited. * Balcony: the room we stayed in does not have a real balcony, but it has a small outdoor space to dry the clothes. However, the drying cord was missing. So we had to dry the swimsuit in the bathroom instead. In the evening, we take a walk along the sea after diner, there was a live music festival. We love the lively feel here.

I really enjoyed staying here and wish I'd booked longer in Kusadasi, the hotel is right in the centre, the staff a super friendly, the breakfast was excellent with amazing views over the harbour.

Good location Clean rooms
