3-Star Hotels in Izmir Province, Türkiye

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! 🎁 ❤️

Beautifully refurbished, can’t fault it. Rating for location may be lower and amenities in that no bar or pool - but I didn’t pay for a bar or pool. It was excellent service and everything for what I paid for. So it is difficult to choose a 1-5 rating for the break up. I had a single room which was great - I could have done with an extra blanket (only because I’m a bit of a fussy sleeper) but I didn’t ask for one, so I can’t complain as they have given me one (so obviously wasn’t that much of an issue, I used the runner vertically on me instead).  Shower was excellent! Breakfast really great! Style was superb and the lift was regular & effective. Oh, and the air con was very effective indeed! It was all a pleasure (just very citified at night, which you should expect in a city anyway).  I did see into a family room when at the lift and I had a little nose around the corner as it was vacant - it was spacious and very impressive, with what appeared to be a larger bathroom too to accommodate. Definitely great value for money!

The hotel's location is ideal for exploring Selçuk, with easy access to the ruins of Ephesus, the Temple of Artemis, and other sites. It is surrounded by many restaurants and cafes. The staff is friendly and exceptionally helpful 👍

The rooms are old, repairs have not been done for a long time. In the rest of the facilities are.

The front desk staff was friendly and welcoming. The price was reasonable and breakfast was included, so it was a good deal. However, don't expect too much from the room. The Wi-Fi was very weak and there was no daily cleaning. This hotel is good for people who want a cheap place to stay.

Well for a couple the bed is quite small , we were feeling that we are slightly sliding on the sights all the time. I hope the internet being fixed already but i had difficult time to work online because wifi were only reaching to the hallway in the room and bathroom. Staff was not so welcoming seem just doing their job check in check out.

I recently stayed at a quaint hotel superbly located near the vibrant Art Street, perfect for those keen to explore local art and culture. The hotel, housed in an old mansion, offers a charming, historical ambiance but comes with several trade-offs. The lack of on-site parking necessitates paying for nearby private parking, which can be inconvenient and adds an unexpected expense. Additionally, the absence of food services within the hotel could be a drawback for guests looking for mealtime convenience, though unlimited free coffee and bottled water are pleasant perks. One should note that the reception closes at 6 PM, which could pose challenges for late arrivals or those needing evening assistance. The rooms, while clean and maintaining the property's antique charm, do not have TVs and the old mansion’s thin walls mean sounds carry easily from room to room. Despite these issues, the hotel's cleanliness and prime location make it a compelling choice for travelers, particularly those interested in the arts, who don't mind a few inconveniences during their stay.

We stayed in Ayasoluk hotel for three nights. We are very happy that we chose this hotel as our base hotel for traveling around Selcuk. The location is perfect. It’s less than 10 minutes walk from train station, bus and taxi station. You can walk to St. John Basilica and Ephesus Museum .  Also you can walk to bus station and take a mini bus to Ephesus Archaeological site for less than 10 minutes and TL30. A half day trip to the beautiful village of Sirince is highly recommended. You can take the morning bus from bus station in less than 20 minutes. You only pay TL 40 for one way. The hotel is very nice decorated, clean and comfortable. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. There’s a restaurant in the hotel and the view from the terrace is pretty nice. Breakfast is typical Turkish cuisine and is very healthy. I would come back for my next visit in the region.

Initial thoughts were apprehensive as we walked through the fish market but as soon as we turned the corner there was no smell at all. Very handy to all shopping. The hotel has a lovely atmosphere with rooms upstairs fronting a balcony that you can sit on and watch the inner courtyard. Lovely ambient non-intrusive music during the day with a live three piece band playing in the evening. Again we did not find the music intrusive. Staff were very professional and obliging. Would definitely stay here again. An easy and flat 15 minute walk to train station and an easy flat walk to Konak pier and clock tower.Basmane train station takes you right to the airport train station in approx half an hour then it is just up the escalator and turn right for a minute or so.

The hosts were excellent from first point of contact to us checking out and leaving our luggage while we did some last minute sight seeing before our train departure. Breakfast was wholesome and filling and the lady in the kitchen was delightful. The patio area was beautiful, the room tastefully decorated and well maintained, as was the rest of the property. The owners made reservations for us at a restaurant nearby (Sofas) where we were treated to Turkish music and the best meal we had experienced in Turkey. We were given tips to enhance our visit to archeological sites and were even chaperoned to Ephesus at no extra charge. I did not want to leave but our onward travel was already organised. I thoroughly recommend Nilya and would gladly return on any future visit to Turkey. 11/10. thank you for making our Turkey experience that much better. Katrina
