    We got off to a good start in this beautiful hotel when we got a free room upgrade! We had an amazing three nights in Selçuk in this cosy boutique hotel. The staff were helpful , knowledgeable and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant for evening meals but directed us to some excellent restaurants nearby. The beds were supremely comfortable and the room was airy and bright. Reception organised a wonderful tour for us to nearby Ephesus.

    Absolutely beautiful property. A haven after a day of sightseeing to unwind and avail of the hospitality. We were upgraded and the Manager, Soner could not have been more helpful and attentive. The breakfast was true Turkish style with a selection of freshly cooked eggs in various styles. A small boutique hotel with every attention to detail. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    This is a beautiful and comfortable boutique hotel, owned and run by the nicest people. It is stylish without being overly precious. Look out for the beautiful textiles used in the decor, some from Muharrem’s parents’ collection. Our room was comfortably appointed, with good quality bed linen. Breakfast is a wonderful, typically Turkish spread with all manner of fruit, greens, cheeses, olives, breads and preserves. Tea and coffee are always available, as is fresh homemade cake. Soner and Muharrem gave us good tips on where to eat, and were just very welcoming and hospitable generally. Selçuk itself is a charming little place, good to explore on foot. So glad we stayed here, and not in resort-y Kusadasi, although we did go there for an excellent meal and beautiful sunset one evening.

    Fantastic property. The attention to detail is outstanding. Muharrem takes care of everything. They offer beer and wine service, individual containers for breakfast items. Fastidiously clean. They arranged a private tour and since we had a car saved 80% off the listed price. The property has wonderful views over the rooftops by the pool. We would definitely stay here again.

    There was nothing that I didn’t like. I was traveling with family. They were in adjacent rooms and they were also very pleased.

    The property was beautiful and calm. Felt like we were in sanctuary with a pleasant courtyard with a swimming pool and a view overlooking the city. The city was not skyscrapers but red tiled roofs and palm trees. We opted to have breakfast included and it was a wonderful non American breakfast. There were egg choices, a variety of cheeses and yogurt and bread, as well as fruit. They offered American coffee as well as Turkish coffee and tea.They also kept cake on a cake platter so if you wanted a slice in the afternoon, you could easily get an afternoon snack. Also beverages were served in the courtyard by the pool, if you desired. Options included coffee, tea, wine and beer.

    I wish they served food in the evening! That's probably my only qualm. But we were recommended a place that was local.

    Everything! It was very cute, and a really nice place to stay! I'm glad we chose this place, it was very close to Ephesus. The staff were very friendly, the room was lovely, the courtyard and breakfast area were also great! Nice large bed and the breakfast was delicious! They also had an area with coffee and traditional cake which was nice. I would definitely stay there again, and I recommend it I'd if you are a couple and looking for something rustic and traditional but modern.

    Nothing. The place is perfect

    This property deserves 10 stars 🤩🤩 From start to finish they catered to our every need and made sure everything was to our liking. No ask was too big or too small. The property management takes pride in their work and it shows. Thank you so much to Soner and Muharrem for your hospitality and making us feel like family. We truly enjoyed your amazing property. Situated on a quiet local street away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to local attractions, this gem of a property is the best place to stay if you value peaceful evenings and mornings but want to be close enough to the ephesus ruins. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. Breakfast served daily with fresh eggs made to order was tasty, and we appreciated the afternoon/evening tea/coffee service with local fresh baked goods. The outdoor courtyard felt like our own private oasis, complete with chirping birds, blooming trees and flowers and peaceful music to welcome us every evening after our tours. They went above and beyond every day that we were there and asked if there was anything they could do to improve our stay on a daily basis. We were never lacking in anything. They even gave us passes for our tours so that we could enter the ruins and the many museums of the wonderful city. Once again, thank you all so much. We look forward to spending another stay with you soon!

    You cannot believe how clean this hotel is, and how relaxing it is to sit in the yard watching the sunset. The hotel is very well-located with a view of the Temple of Artemis, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, and within walking distance of Ephesus ancient city. The cakes and drinks are always available for guests, with lots of choices for breakfast, all of which are delicious. The staff is very attentive and takes excellent care of the guests.

    All are beyond my expectations.

    I highly recommend staying at the Akanthus Hotel near Ephesus. Not only do they serve a mouthwatering Turkish breakfast, but their staff goes above and beyond to make us feel like a part of their own family. The facilities are top-notch, with everything being new and well maintained. It's the perfect place to relax and explore the wonders of Ephesus while enjoying the warm hospitality of this wonderful hotel. I will definitely visit it again in the future.

Thank you for a fantastic couple of nights.
