The homely character of the hotel was superb and service first class and will visit hotel again 🙏
Pros:

The breakfast was wonderful and plentiful supply of fruit. Cooked breakfasts were exceptional and brilliant flexibility for early morning breakfasts before the scheduled time. As our coach was scheduled to leave at 530 pm the owner and management allowed us to check out at our leisure. Also the gardens were well maintained and the close proximity to the town centre was very advantageous for myself and my 88 year old father in law. Also wonderful service throughout and the owner of the hotel made us feel welcome.

Cons:

The breakfasts were tremendous but I thought the dinner ( Cretan ) was not very enjoyable. However the major drawback was the cost of taxis in Selcuk as compared to Bodrum ( where I have a holiday home ) was very excessive. For example on this visit a 6 mile journey in Izmir cost 800 lira whilst in Selcuk a two mile journey cost 500 lira. The difference between Izmir and Selcuk was astonishing. In Bodrum a 6 mile journey cost me 600 lira and all these journeys happened this week. Just felt there was a scam being operated in Selcuk by the taxi owners or a taxi cartel, for example we were dropped off at Virgin Mary house there was no way we could get back with a different taxi and that taxi driver ( for both journeys ) would wait for an excessive cost. The journeys between Selcuk and Virgin Mary house and Ephesus were not long journeys but after hotel costs being the biggest expenses the second biggest cost was taxis. There is no suggestion that the hotel profits in any way with the high level of taxi fares charged but maybe the hoteliers can have a discussion with the taxi owners to make sure that taxi fares are reasonable but not excessive.

Foarte frumos
Pros:

O oaza. E ca o grădină botanica.

Cons:

La parcare, facilitati e trecută statie de încărcare mașini electrice. In realitate lipsește. Nu e ok sa se induca in eroare. Rog sa se scoată aceasta facilitate sa nu fie si alții păcăliți.

A really friendly family hotel
Pros:

A really friendly family hotel. They treated us so friendly and were very helpful with all the information we needed.
The pool area is really nice and the pool itself was great. There are turtles roaming around in the backyard to my kids’ delight.
There is antique technology standing around on display, which was really fun to get to study, like the old equipment they used for wake-up calls at the hotel until smartphones made that need disappear.

Pros:

Petit coin de paradis, cet hôtel est décoré avec beaucoup de goût, confortable, propre. Le personnel est très accueillant, le petit déjeuner délicieux avec des produits locaux, et la piscine entourée de végétation est très agréable en fin de journée après la visite du site antique d’Ephèse. À recommander!

Ett mycket prisvärt och bra hotell i Selcuk. En riktig pärla med atmosfär
Pros:

Riktigt fint och mycket prisvärt hotell i Selcuk. Vacker och historisk byggnad med en avkopplande innergård (med pool). Fantastisk frukost. Trevliga och professionella medarbetare. Jo, detsamma gäller också ägarna. Vi stannade 3 dagar och hade hotellet som utgångspunkt för att besöka Effesos, S:t Marys House och andra besöksmål. Jo, vi tog en minibuss (Dolmus) för några timmar på stranden. Selcuk var också en trevlig stad med restauranger, historiska sevärdheter och ett fint museum. Selcuk nås enkelt med tåg/buss från flygplatsen i Izmir.

Hotellet överträffade absolut alla våra förväntningar. Om vi kommer tillbaka till den här delen av Turkiet, så vet vi vilket hotell som vi kommer att boka. Rekommenderas starkt! Paul och Annica

Cons:

Inget. Väldigt trevligt hotell.

Приятен престой за 2-3 дни
Pros:

Много автентичен и приятно тих двор. Зеленина, тишина - въпреки, че е до главен път. Има спокойно място за паркиране. Близко е за пешеходно посещение на крепостта и джамията под нея.

Cons:

Закуската е сравнително бедна.

Super ervaring!
Pros:

Zeer vriendelijke mensen! Mooi nostalgisch hotel. Alsof je in de tijd van Agatha Christy zit! Avond eten was heerlijk! Ontbijt erg uitgebreid! En lekker nabij Efese en de basiliek (ruïne) van apostel Johannes. Aanrader!!!

Cons:

Niet van toepassing.

Hotel Kalehan provided a garden oasis retreat for a travel weary family.
Pros:

Our family of 4 stayed in a separate villa/cottage in the spacious garden right beside the pool. The pool was a wonderful respite from the heat and the garden was a beautiful extension to our room where we ate lunch each day. We loved the garden atmosphere and all the animals in the garden (turtles, frogs, cats & a dog!)

Cons:

There was nothing to dislike.
