Location is amazing - on a hill, in a peaceful area next to a nice village. Accommodation is perfectly maintained, all authentic vintage furniture is in great condition which creates a sense of time travel in this hotel. Food was good and the view from the restaurant is breath taking. A great place to spend a couple of days away from the hassle and enjoy the nature.

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.
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.
The location is far from the hustle and bustle of kusadasi. It is a boutique hotel with 3 star amenities set in a quite location. The room are good and come with all the basic amenities. It would be nice if they can replace their TVs with smart TVs. The staff is very accommodating and courteous. They went out of their way to furnish our requests. It is also walking distance to a few good restaurants in Selcuk.
The view over Selçuk and Ayasuluk Hill were absolutely extraordinary. We asked our lovely hotelier Okyay where the best place to watch the sunset was, and he simply said 'Here'. He was absolutely right. The breakfast was lovely, the pool area was great, and the staff were very friendly. A special thanks to Okyay, who helped us book our car hire and was really helpful in facilitating our various activities.
For my wife and I this hotel was perfect. The owners and staff were incredibly obliging. Most importantly the bed was very comfortable, not something you find often in Turkey. The breakfast was really good which you had sat in a very private, shaded courtyard, very chilled atmosphere. Location could not have been better for visiting all the sites around Selcuk, most of which are within walking distance.
My husband and I toured all over Turkey and stayed at some fabulous places, but this was my absolute favorite!! I so wish we could have stayed longer, but we booked it only for our last night.
It felt like a REAL authentic Turkish experience. The food was delicious, and the aesthetic couldn’t have been more romantic. The photos really does the place an injustice. It’s SO much more fabulous in person.
The location is excellent, being a few minutes walk from the train station. Excellent staff who were friendly and helpful both with hotel matters and travel / tourism / train advice. The breakfast was delicious! Also, there is a really good coffee shop at very affordable prices at the front of the hotel. Walkable to everywhere in Selcuk from the hotel. Room and all linens were clean.
So far, an excellent stay of our trip in Turkey! strategic location near bus and train station, linked us to many interesting historical sites. Great hosts that made us feel at home, experiencing a healthy Turkish breakfast and beyond just a usual hotel we ever travelled! Many thanks to Nurcan & Ilahe for their kindness - unforgettable stay in Selcuk :)
We stayed just one night to visit Ephesus. The room was very comfortable, location is perfect to reach the site and the staff is extremely friendly. Room has air conditioning, but also large windows with mosquitos’ nets. Bed and bathroom are comfortable. Good breakfast with both sweet and salty food (rare in Turkey).
The owner helped us to have a perfect experience in Selçuk (gave us very helpful tips on touristic spots and cheap, delicious restaurants, called cabs for us). He allowed us to store our bags in the hotel after check out.
Swimming pool area is very nice.
Breakfast was good and filling.
Overall a really great stay.
One of the best places on our itinerary! Postcard perfect little house, tastefully decorated with local crafts. The best view. Incredible breakfast. The town itself is definitely one of the highlights of Turkey. Make sure to take a walk to Mathematical village if you have a couple of hours to spare.
The garden is beautiful and hotel interior gives you antique yet authentic feel. The best part is the staffs, the manager Mehmet and chef Abidin are always welcoming you with enthusiasm and big smiles. Would definitely come back and stay here if I’m around this area again.
We arrived to the hotel and was greeted by a vary friendly man namned Mr Erdem. We have been to Turkey many times but this hotel was something extra. We wanna thank Mr Erdem for his kindness.
The breakfast was more then you can expext. The beds as well very good.
Everything was wonderful! The location is on the top-of-the hill with the best view, air and breeze.
Beautiful hotel with exceptional hospitalitizes from both Melih and Okyay who went above and beyond for their guests. Nice and healthy breakfast served daily.
The staff was always in the best disposition to help and recommend activities, without pressing for one to accept them.
The place of the hotel is unbeatable.
Very clean.
The restaurant is in a large courtyard, very nice and with good service and food.
Amazing vineyard location, not too far from Ephesus. Felt very exclusive and not like anything else I’ve experienced in Turkey. Hotel staff were very honest when we left some belongings in the room by accident.
This is a great hotel near Ephesus. The staff was very helpful. The owner of the hotel was very nice and was interesting to talk to. He recommended nearby sites, beside Ephesus, that I would have missed.
Staff were exceptionally nice and very helpful. Our stay was comfortable and very good value. The experience made our holiday in Turkey so enjoyable we are already planning a return trip.
Super lovely place with a nice view of Sirince. A warm welcome and friendly and attentive people. Breakfast was one of the best in turkey. Everything was perfect. Thank you
