A stunning little hotel that made our stay in Selçuk memorable.
Pros:

We liked everything about the property. It is in a quiet area yet close to restaurants and the town centres d to the St. John Basilica, a Beal oval mosque and art centre. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The pool area is lovely for a swim or just to sit around over breakfast or to watch the sun set. Our room was spacious, light and the bed very comfortable. The decoration throughout the hotel is very traditional and very tastefully exquisite.

Cons:

Only one small thing - the internet connection kept on dropping out. Not the end of the world!

Peaceful and elegant
Pros:

Exquisitely decorated with emphasis on simplicity and aesthetics, it was such a soothing and peaceful experience. Hospitality (front desk staff), breakfast (nothing frivolous but everything tasty), and overall management were all top notch. Its proximity to city center and Ephesos are obviously the other advantages. Strongly recommend.

Cons:

Nothing.

Absolute perfection
Pros:

This is genuinely one of the nicest hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff were super helpful and friendly, the breakfast offering was amazing, the room was beautiful (I was upgraded for free on arrival) and the pool was stunning. The location was superb as well, in a beautiful quiet and old pocket of Selcuk that is nevertheless close to everything, including Ephesus. I want to go back there already!

Cons:

Everything was perfect.

A romantic getaway, with a nod to the history of Turkey!
Pros:

As they say - “It’s all in the details”. The beautifully designed courtyard was so inviting and you did not feel like leaving. Lot of us guests just enjoyed lazing there. The complementary tasty cake and the music added to the romance! The co-owner being an architect has really created a feeling of tasteful warmth. From the rooms curtains to bed- spreads to the bathroom fixtures…such a labor of love… and we were lucky to enjoy the warm opulence and romance of this place.

Absolutely perfect, an oasis of calm and tranquility
Pros:

This is a beautiful hotel, the furnishing in the rooms including the ceramic tiles are simply beautiful, its feels luxurious to be there.
I was leaving early to Ephesus and they offered to start the breakfast earlier, they could not be more accommodating.
The owner has designed the whole place and his passion to make this a home from home is clear.

Cons:

Nothing, everything was excellent

DIVINO Y SÚPER CÓMODO
Pros:

El hotel es súper bonito, limpio, cómodo. Bonito ambiente. De verdad que es boutique.
Súper bien presentado el desayuno y hay buena variedad. Es más si deseas huevos te los preparan en el momento.
Tiene una piscina deliciosa. Ese árbol de oliva divino. Y hay café y té todo el tiempo.

Las ruinas de Efeso son divinas. Y el mejor restaurante de pasta y pizza se llama Ozzy.

The hotel is super nice, clean, comfortable. Nice atmosphere. It's really boutique.

Super well presented breakfast and there is good variety. It's more if you want eggs they prepare them at the moment.

It has a delicious pool. That divine olive tree. And there is coffee and tea all the time.

The ruins of Ephesus are divine. And the best pasta and pizza restaurant is called Ozzy.

Cons:

La habitación que nos tocó era en un segundo piso y la decaaleras altas. Cómo iba con mi mamá que es mayor pues hay que tener cuidado, además la subida de las maletas es tedioso.

The room we got was on a second floor and the high decaaleras. As I was going with my mom who is older because you have to be careful, besides the climb of the suitcases is tedious.

A relaxing, cultural stay near Ephesus
Pros:

A really lovely hotel. We had the pool to ourselves most of the stay and the staff were super lovely. They even arranged a birthday cake for my partner. Really close to the main centre but on a quiet street. The room was nicely decorated, clean and comfortable. There was a good selection for breakfast and I liked that it had a bar you could help yourself to & pay for at the end. Very trusting! It meant we could have a bottle of wine outside after our dinner and just relax.

Cons:

Nothing!
