The room (3 beds) had no space for the two of us to open up our big suitcases. Some of our room windows faced the common sitting area and could not be locked, so we made sure to bring all our important belongings out with us. The common sitting area felt dusty. The stairs were also a bit tight and we had some trouble manoeuvring our suitcases up and down the stairs. The toilet/bathroom could do with hooks for towels and clothes. Black-out curtains and a mini fridge would have been great too. We were aware from other reviews that the room did not have tea and coffee-making facilities (i.e. an electric kettle), but it would have been good if a common hot water facility could have been provided at the breakfast area.

The location was fantastic - near the town centre and bus station/train stop as well as the in-town attractions like the museum and the castle and basilica, but on a quiet street. There is a Sok supermarket nearby where one can buy bottled water and other necessities. The catch however is that one has to walk up a steep slope to get to the pansiyon - best to have backpacks rather than heavy wheeled luggage. The room and toilet/bathroom were clean enough, and the shower had good pressure and hot water. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was very decent; coffee seemed to be brewed rather than Nescafe! Excellent views from the terrace which has tables and benches for chilling out.

I did not have hot water in the morning, unfortunately. I had hot water in the previous afternoon however, not sure what happened. No credit card is accepted, so don't forget to have cash with you to pay for the stay. There are plenty of atm's just a couple of minutes from the hotel so it's not a big problem.

Lovely small hotel (5 or 6 rooms, maybe?), I assume it used to be a house, and it was converted into a hotel. The decor of the rooms is very traditional, makes you feel you're visiting Turkey 100 years ago! Yet everything is super clean and taken care of. The bed was firm but comfortable, and the wifi worked great! The hotel is located in the old part of town, with its tight cobbled streets, old houses and mosques, very quiet (woke up to the sound of birds) and very quiant. Feels like you're staying in a small village while you're there. The hotel is, however, only a 5 or 6 minute walk to the busier, main part of town with all the shops, bars, stores, and restaurants. It was a 10 minute walk from the train station so it's very convenient; the museum and the bus stations are very close too. The view from the terrace is lovely too! Breakfast is included, I had a boiled egg, salad, bread, cheese, and tea. It's plenty and more than enough to get your day started ! I paid 200 liras to get to Ephesus in taxi (may 2024, prices change quickly due to inflation).

The decor was absolutely beautiful. The woman who ran the pension was so sweet and very helpful. Breakfast was delicious and perfectly simple. The location was a great starting point to explore the town and Ephasus. I would recommend this place over and over!

Only thing was there weren’t any hooks in the shower but that’s pretty minor.

Great location, eclectic style, hosts were super friendly and accommodated an early breakfast for our departure.

All. This house run by a very sweet Turkish family that you will feel at home when staying here. The room was lovely and beautiful. The breakfast was tasty and served beautifully. The host, Saziye and Dervise were so nice and helpful. It’s so easy to communicate with them and they are always ready to help you if you need them. The location is also near to some cute resto and coffee shops, and Ephesus museum. I really recommend this place whenever you are in Selcuk.

Lots of stairs (not for people with disabilities).

The hotel has a very unique turkish decor with some antique furniture (not for everyone, but I liked it). This puts you in a bit of a exotic atmosphere (which I think is desirable when travelling in Turkey). The breakfast was one of the best experiences I had in the whole country. Not a buffet, a beautiful table of assorted dishes is served. The manager and his wife are extremely kind and friendly to everyone. They are perfect hosts.

None.

The staff and the owner are friendly and helpful. The breakfast is good with real materials, like good olive oil, pomegranate jam. Close to St. John Basilica and Ephesus archeology museum, is about 3-5 minutes walk. Close to Selcuk train station, 5 minutes walk. Bus stop is about 5-7 minutes walk, to other cities. About 3.5 km to Efes ruin, I walked there. I suggest to if drive to Efes ruin, do it before 7am to get parking space, and wait there to open at 8am. Driving to Efes ruin is not recommended after 8am, No parking space, the line will last at least 1km to wait for parking space, unless you're in bus tour. Walk 3 mimutes, lots of cafe and markets. You can eat or buy grocery. The room is very traditional , old, cozy, quiet, clean and comfortable. If You want to buy any staff, owner will suggest to go to real materials and more honest store with reasonable price, but you still judge yourself. Don't overpay what you like to buy, just go around and check out the price, and negotiate the deal. If no hot water, just ask owner everything, he will improve the facility the same day.

Nothing not to like but be aware it is cash only

As many of the other reviews note, Homerus Pension is a fabulous place to stay and everything about it makes for a totally wonderful time here. It is ideally located for public transport, seeing the castle and basilica, and wandering through the tiwn. The owners are extremely pleasant, the breakfast is tasty and it has great views from the rooftop. If I ever find myself back in Selcuk, this is where I'd choose to stay.

The pension is at an excellent location, conveniently situated near the bus station, restaurants, and cafes. The breakfast was outstanding, served by delightful hosts. The serene surroundings are perfect for leisurely walks, and the place's strategic positioning allows easy access to transportation options for Ephesus and Şirince, via taxis and dolmuş. The pension features beautifully furnished rooms adorned with unique antiques, making for a charming stay. Furthermore, the hosts surprised us by being kind enough to wash our toddler's feeding bottles.

This guesthouse is a gem, it was a really charming experience staying here. The owner is really welcoming and a lovely lady. We also loved the little town where it is situated, Selcuk: very delightful place where to find some peace from the really crowded and touristic places. Very recommended.

WiFi wasn't 100% reliable in the rooms - best reception was actually sat outside the front door.

Charming guesthouse in a great location in the centre of Selcuk. Walking distance to the bus station. Rooftop terrace with fantastic views. Friendly and accommodating owners.
