Hotels with Breakfast in Selcuk

One of the best - if not THE best - hotel experience/s we ever had!!! ❤️ This small and cute hotel is something like a jewel! The one staff we met was adorable and so kind and caring that we felt right at home and even felt sorry that after only one night we had to leave for our next spot to visit! The hotel is gorgeous, the service impeccable, the breakfast!!! OMG!!! Just look at the pictures and you'll know what I mean! The breakfast was a piece of art made with love 💕 But, originally, the hotel is called Ephesus Hotel and Art Gallery, because all the sculptures you can see on the pictures were made by the owner - it vibes so well with the whole Ephesus area and it's beautiful ancient buildings, ruins, ... We got a nice upgrade to a bigger room that we could directly leave through a door to the inner courtyard where breakfast was served - super convenient! The courtyard was so peaceful that we felt like hearing ancient whispers coming from all around us... So much history!!! So much to see and having this wonderful hotel as the base to discover from was the best choice we could make! No need to mention that the room was simple but very nice and clean, comfy and big bed, nice lighting, spacey bathroom with very modern standard. Aircon as well, but we preferred to use the big fan on the ceiling instead ... There was a little fridge in the room and the beverages inside were free to take, so we were happy about the water after a hot and sunny day ... ☀️ Also, whenever we were on the way in or out, we were offered coffee, tea, water, juice, fruits ... you can see the fruit plate that we happily enjoyed as a mid-day snack ... If you ever visit Selçuk and Ephesus Ancient Town - and you should because it's ABSOLUTELY AMAZING - you should definitely book one, or even better two or three days at Ephesus Hotel and Art Gallery!!! Btw, it's also in easily walkable distance to the Ephesus Archeological Museum, the İsa Bey Mosque, St. Jean Church, the Ayasuluk Citadel, ... Another great plus was the fact that we could park the car right in front of the hotel. Last but not least, we received a beautiful little gift from the hotel employee who was taking care of us so kindly - she had sculptured the little elephant that you can see on the last picture by herself! A very special gift for us! 🎁 ❤️

The hotel is conveniently located. The villa is a two-story, stand-alone building with four rooms, two on the ground floor and two on the second floor. The downside is that the small living room on the first floor doesn't have air conditioning. It was incredibly hot midday and in the afternoon, so I had to retreat to an air-conditioned room or the small living room on the second floor (Figure 1), but the air conditioning wasn't very effective. For this type of hotel, you need to bring your own daily necessities like disposable slippers, toothbrushes, and towels, otherwise getting them from the hotel isn't easy. The entrance to our small stand-alone building is right outside a scenic spot (Figures 4-6). Figures 7-11 show the hotel's small restaurant, which offers beautiful sunset views.

The hotel itself is exuist, and the views and nature are simply breathtaking. Our room was spacious and well furnished with huge balcony. Spending evenings on the pool to observe sunset was very pleasant experience. Breakfasts are very tasty and each day you can find something special. The only thing is that once we checked in apart from the key to the room we haven't received any information about the facilities also even about the meals rules (breakfast even!) and we had to seek that info from the restaurant staff (not everyone speaks English). It is not hard to get to the hotel if you simply follow the instructions they've kindly sent us via WhatsApp.

The owner was incredibly warm and friendly! We kept getting extra Turkish tea, and the breakfast was a very generous traditional Turkish breakfast. The hotel's location was fantastic—a five-minute walk from the train station, and right next to the Selçuk Castle ruins 🥺. Thank you, Turkey is truly a very romantic place; I met so many wonderful people, and the cats in the courtyard were super affectionate—they practically kept me entertained for three days!

The holiday price is more serious. The hotel location is not very close to the ancient city of Ephesus. The 240 meters given on Trip.com is even more nonsense. According to this 240 meters, you can't reach the ancient city of Ephesus. You still need to take a long way to the station to take the minibus. I personally suggest that it is best to live directly in Izmir. In the morning, you can take the train or take the minibus to Ephesus in Izmir. In the evening, you can also take the minibus or train back. The minibus is very convenient to leave the water. Izmir has a standardized hotel like Marriott and Renaissance, which is much more comfortable than living here. In addition, the hotels in Selcuk are basically changed from their own houses. The religious color is relatively heavy. The living is a bit strange. The road is not very good. There are many uphill and downhill. There are many stone roads. It is particularly tired to walk. You can occasionally see a taxi on the road. It is very inconvenient for people with luggage.

The hotel is on the top of the hill in the small town of Xilinjie, driving past by car, there is a parking place, but the road up the mountain is very steep and narrow. The hotel is very classic, the rooms are small, and the consumption is not cheap, but the food and beverages are all freshly made. The overall decoration of the hotel feels very European and lifelike. The restaurant can see the view of the town. I like it here.

First of all, the place in Selcuk is really small, so no matter where you go to the hotel, it is not far from me. I came from the bus stop and walked for about 15 minutes, but pay attention! Take the road, the navigation will recommend the country road, no lights at night or scary. Secondly, I got to arrive at nearly nine o'clock in the back. The boss was very good. Waiting for me at the door. The next day, breakfast was very suitable for Chinese people because there was a tomato scrambled egg. It was delicious. Finally, I went to Ephesus to check out early. The boss can also store luggage for free. In short, the boss and the proprietress are very good people. In addition, the key is quite interesting ～

It's right from Selchuk station, so you won't get lost, and the bus to Ephesus is nearby and the location is great. There were many restaurants and supermarkets around. There is no elevator, but the staff helped me carry it. Do you have a family? It was very kind. ３ The room was small because I stayed with people. But the breakfast was also volume and very delicious. It is a hotel that I want to stay if I have another chance.

The location is about three kilometers away from the ancient city of Ephesus. It is very convenient for us to drive by ourselves. The car is parked on the road and it is very safe. The B&B is not big, with a total of five rooms. The first floor is a bar and front desk. When we arrived, there were two young handsome guys at the front desk. They spoke good English and were very friendly and down-to-earth. They helped us take our luggage upstairs and left immediately. They were the only waiters who didn't ask for tips in the past few days in Turkey. The rooms are not big. You don't need to prepare your own slippers and toothbrush. It is very quiet at night and you can have a good sleep. However, at 6 o'clock in the morning, you can hear the sound of prayers from a nearby mosque. The best thing is the breakfast, which is rich in variety and reasonably matched. At this price, it is worth recommending.

Note to my ladies : do not go alone on free rides with the owner, Mehmet Mehmet, this review concerns you and only you since you were not here during my checkout I want to point out that your behavior is inappropriate and disrespectful. I felt insecure from the moment you told me, and I quote, ”if you were single, I'll show you more places.” I replied that I wasn't, and you knew that, and you added, laughing, ”No, but when you come back to Turkey and you're separated”. You're crossing three boundaries here. The first is as a guest at your hotel. The second is because of my age. I'm the same age as your son. Imagine if you had a daughter, would you like an older man to behave with her? And the third is as a woman, do you even know what goes on in a woman's head when you receive this kind of remark, even though you weren't suspicious? As a woman, you feel scared and you're measuring the level of danger that the man in front of you represents, because you are alone, vulnerable, not in your country. When you criticize truck drivers who only want to pick up female hitchhikers because they are interested in sex with them, you are no different from that kind of person by behaving like that with me. It's 2025, I'm a woman, and I no longer accept this kind of inappropriate and disrespectful behavior from men. You must NOT do this, whether it's with your clients or with young women, any woman, and even if you say this as a “joke”. Just DON’T.
