Pros:

Accueil , petit déjeuner varié, décor soigné ,tableaux en faïence dans les couloirs , proximité avec le centre . passer dans la rue où vivent les locaux .
Partant très tôt le lendemain matin, on nous a préparé des sandwichs avec boisson et fruits frais pour emporter

Cons:

Ce n'est pas que je n'ai pas apprécié, mais c'est plutôt pour informer des clients : l'emplacement : Cela pourrait impressionner un peu des personnes qui veulent se sentir "en sécurité "car on côtoie les locaux ,le soir c'est faiblement éclairé . Ceci dit, il n'y a eu aucun souci

Quirky comfy hotel.
Pros:

Friendly, helpful staff. Nice decor, and a really great breakfast. Bed was very comfy. Room was clean.

Cons:

Like all small, family run hotels, this place definitely has a few quirks. My biggest issue was the large number of cats that congregate on the doorstep of the hotel, making it hard to get in without A stepping on one (I did by accident), and B not letting any into the lobby. There were literally 6-8 cats there most of the time. The other issue, which is clearly related, is that the lobby and upstairs common areas of the hotel smelled quite strongly of male cat pee.

The unheated pool is nice if rather cold, and overly chlorine smelling.

If you want a safe fir passports etc, and tea making facilities in your room, you can request them. They don't come as standard.

Bathroom is tiny but functional.
Terrible hair dryer.

Sound proofing is not great.

We loved this place! Very special!
Pros:

The Saint John Hotel is a gem! The place is impeccably clean and well-appointed, quiet, and as mentioned in other comments, the breakfast is a delicious feast.
Although it is in an unusual part of town, that was irrelevant for us. We had a rental car and did not feel unsafe parking it.

Se eu voltar para Selçuk, ficarei aqui novamente.
Pros:

Tudo! Kkkk
Melhor café da manhã de todos hotéis que ficamos na Turquia.
Funcionários extremamente preocupados com nosso bem estar.
Limpeza dos quartos excepcional, eu nunca tinha visto algo igual, nem no Brasil.
Área externa, perto da piscina, onde pudemos ficar tomando vinho e conversando. Quando chegava algum fumante por perto, os funcionários pediam para o fumante sentar mais afastado da gente, pois não éramos fumantes. E isso é algo muito legal e importante, pois na Turquia pode-se fumar em qualquer lugar, inclusive ambientes fechados.
O hotel também fica muito bem localizado e silencioso.
Fomos a pé para Ephesus (aprox 3 km). O Centro (com lojas e restaurantes) fica a cerca de 3 ou 4 quadras, muito fácil para ir almoçar ou jantar. O museu e as ruínas da Basílica de São João também são possíveis de se fazer a pé (cerca de 1 km).

Cons:

A rua onde o hotel fica parece estranha, mas a cidade é bastante segura, e fica muito próximo do centro. Voltávamos depois de escurecer e sempre foi tranquilo.

Great location as a base for Ephesus, Kusadasi and Sircine
Pros:

This a is a cute boutique hotel in Selcuk which is only a 5 min drive from the ancient town of Ephesus. You needed a car to be here to drive to Kusadasi or Sirince for sightseeing. Well with it.

Cons:

Nothing

Pros:

The hotel is as beautiful as a porcelain tea cup.
The rooms, beds and bathrooms are very clean and lovely designed and decorated.
The breakfast is very good and the staff are friendly and very helpful. They arranged a tour to the archeological sites that was fantastic. We paid 100 euros for the tour and it was worth every penny.

Pros:

The breakfast was lovely, typical Turkish breakfast and our location was perfect for what we wanted to do. Close to Ephesus and cafe's and eateries in a quiet backstreet. Our balcony overlooked the beautiful swimming pool !!
