This house is super clean! The host is extremely helpful. He speaks English very well and if you are not sure about something, he immediately calls his friends in another part of the city to check the reliability of information from the Internet. You can count on an exceptionally good breakfast.

Well located, a short walk from main town facilities and the basilika. On a pleasant, quiet "backstreet".
Host very amenable, giving us a wi-fi router to put in our rooms to maximise signal
Shower facilities in our rooms very good, but watch out for the extremely hot water - run the tap first before switching it to shower and standing under it.
Very accommodating with breakfast, which was one of the best we had during our stay (generally, Turkish breakfast is not similar to, or to the taste of British tourists)
Room clean and bed comfortable.

Good buffet dinner and breakfast. Willingness to change our room when it was found that there was a bird nest right by our AC outlet - the babies WOULD HAVE DIED if the AC had been used. I communicated with the management, and they assure me that the pipe will be deflected, or the room not used until the baby birds have flown.

The hotel was amazing. The Host is very kind and friendly, available to give us directions and advice, such as where to dine (really good suggestion!). The room was spacious and characteristic, very Turkish style hotel. No parking problems. The hotel is located in an area with many restaurants, bars and other facilities. Breakfast is with fixed dish (no possibility to choose from a buffet) with bread, olive, cheeses (yummy!), eggs as you want... so we didn' starve! :-) recommend

Smaller and less touristy with locals attentive to your need and willingness to help. Ephesus Archeological Park was the highlight of the visit. There is no dearth of choices for eating - from local Turkish dishes to Burger King. Selchuk is more convenient to stay as beginning from morning you can at your leisurely pace cover St John's Basilica, Artemis Temple, Ephesus Archeological Park and Virgin Mary's House all in one day.

we stayed in Sirince.
we stayed in Sirince. An antique village in the mountains outside of Selcuk. A 19th Century experience in small town Turkey. Bring good shoes for steep hills and uneven ground. Good natural foods from local farms. Expect an authentic experience.

I’m not sure why anyone from away would come to Selcuk unless they were there to see the antique ruins of Ephesus. That is certainly why we came. If you are in Turkey- I suggest it is a must see.
Ephesus is one of the most excavated sites in the world. It is humbling to see how much as a civilized culture we have forgotten- or forgot and have had to rediscover over the millenniums.
That said, Selcuk had decent dining options, and other attractions like the Ephesus Museum (where the artifacts are housed), and the Saint John Basilica which are fantastic. Both are blocks from the Akanthus hotel (which I reviewed separately and highly recommend .

Amazing place in order to visit not only Ephesus but other ancient greek cities nearby too. The city in itself has also many touristic spots in itself (like the lonely column that remains ot the ancient Artemision).

We visited Selcuk for one night to visit Ephesus and a friend staying locally. The town was lovely to walk through and easy to navigate. Ephesis was easy to get to, but the tour guide options were more challenging to navigate (beforehand).
There are a couple of beautiful restaurants, so do your research.
The taxis are a drag. Most have fixed fees but unclear what they include. One time we paid 100TL to go from Selcuk to the hotel, and the next taxi driver charged us 400TL to return. It was a 10-minute drive. Be aware that if you order a taxi to Ephesus, they may include the 'whole trip', whatever that means...
Ephesus is worth the visit if you're into ancient history or faith-based movements. You will want to get the audio guide, a guided tour or look up a DIY one online.
The Ephesus museum can be done in 45 - 1 hour if you are not a details person. Lots of well-curated objects but narrative and contextualising could do with some work. You might want to brush up on your periods before visiting.
Everything was amazing. Wish we had time to stay more here. Very friendly and courteous owners. They even provided a big water bottle and 2 cups of tea when I asked.
We had laundry and we only stayed one night. So we gave dirty clothes in the morning of our check out. Went exploring. And took the clean dried clothes in the evening. So far the best hotel we stayed in Turkey for the best price.
Good internet. Hot water. Elevator. Parking. Location by the Bazar. Such a delightful stay.
A truly family run and family style small hotel in Selcuk, near Ephesus. We really enjoyed the helpful and very friendly welcome and all the small, honest, personal touches that we experienced during our stay: an unexpected glass of white wine while we were swimming in the refreshing pool in the courtyard, a just in time cup of Turkish Coffee when I was working on my laptop in the dining room, and also the very delicious and plentiful home cooked breakfasts. Very well done.
A very charming boutique hotel in Selçuk in a small portion of the town just below St John the Baptist church ruins (easy walking distance). It is an owner run and maintained hotel, named after the owner’s spouse. The care for the hotel shows in the pristine look of the rooms. There is a courtyard in the entryway and charming woodwork throughout the hotel. The staff were outstanding. The hotel is very close to Ephesus and and other sites such as the House of Virgin Mary.
Nilya Hotel is a beautiful designed boutique hotel situated within a 5 minute drive of the magnificent Ephesus historical site. As soon as we arrived a co-owner of the hotel welcomed us with delicious apple tea, a detailed overview of the area and restaurant recommendations. The rooms were comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was the best we have had in Turkey with an abundance of fruit and eggs served in the peaceful outdoor courtyard. Great value for money.
Villa Dreams claims to have the best views and it does! Our balcony overlooked the town of Selçuk, the fortress and the ruins of St. John's Basilica. Every evening, we looked forward to watching the sun as it set and, later, the moon along with Venus above Ayasoluk Hill. The staff was helpful in recommending restaurants and how best to visit Ephesus, and breakfast was wonderful! Instead of a buffet, it was served to us at our table.
In Ephesus Hotel and Art Gallery is a homely,friendly clean and welcoming place. Nur and her staff were outstanding in their hospitality and were ever eager to help. The breakfasts were generous and very delicious. Nur went out of her way to get us a cable to connect our phone to our rental car and was ever ready to help us with our visit to Ephesus. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to Selçuk.
One of the best stays during our long Turkey trip. The location is beautiful you almost feel like you do not want to leave the premises, the pool is inviting and clean. The apartment is clean and we'll though out, it has everything you might need. The breakfast was enough to feed a football team and as a bonus: my kid and I could not get enough of the friendly dog. Come and see for yourself!
We are taking a trip around Turkey and so only stayed one night but the hotel was absolutely exceptional. The owner/manager was amazing and the hospitality he and his team offered was incredible and really helpful. The level of service provided was far above our expectations, particularly given the modest price of our stay. Bravo and thank so much for everything. Aaron & Mariam.
Beautiful hotel centrally located in the heart of Selçuk, few steps walking to Basilica of St. Johns and few minutes driving to Ephesus, Temple of Artemis and other attractions. Very friendly owner, good breakfast, clean and comfortable room/beds. I wish we could have stayed longer. Highly recommended.
It was one of the best hotels we stayed in Turkey. The location is great being close to both the town centre and the historical Ephesus site. The room was clean and comfortable. The owner and people working there were very nice and helpful and the traditional Turkish breakfast spread was very tasty!
this was probably the best place we visited during our 2 weeks long roadtrip through Turkey. The place is cosy, the house is built in a traditional style and rooms are very clean. The breakfast is various and also the host is very nice and helpful.
I highly recommend you to stay at this place.
Ayasoluk Hotel exceeded our expectations! The staff was incredibly nice and helpful, the room was very nice with multiple windows and a comfortable bed, and the restaurant served some great food (we had dinner there two nights in a row). The view from the patio was excellent.
This family-run guesthouse is perfectly located. The room was simplistic as advertised and described and I didn't want or need anything more. They were helpful and considerate. Their friendliness was a warm welcome to Turkey. Loved the breakfast.
Me and my Friends in love 🥰 with Vinifera Ephesus Hotel , and the reception staff guy named Umut very kind guy and thanks for the best Turkish Coffee 😇❤️ we loved it ) the breakfast ✨ Top !
personally my self i’ll definitely come back🙏🏽
Anz was one of our favorite stays on our western Turkey trip. Cozy, clean, and more than helpful staff. A true family run business. We enjoyed that we could walk everywhere. The included breakfast blew us away — amazing value for money.
Well maintained, very clean, modern place. Staff taking good care of the guests. Short distance from city centre. Best accomodation we have had this year in Turkey 🇹🇷
The hotel and owners are charming. The property is so unusual and well done. The breakfast is by far the best i have had! The fireplace in the lodge was excellent too!
