What a sweet little place - it was pouring rain when we arrived but the staff was helpful and cheerful - grabbing our wet bags out of the car and showing us where to park in the rain. They made us feel so welcome without hovering - I can highly recommend this place.

My only complaint is that I felt a bit rushed to end my breakfast and to checkout. Let me fair, from the looks of things , I was the last guest at the place from day before. I can’t say that for sure but the place looked pretty empty with the exception of the staff and alot of the vehicles and people seen during of breakfast were no longer around. Breakfast

We had an excellent stay at this charming boutique hotel in Selcuk and we are glad we chose this hotel to base our visit to Ephesus and Pammukale. A wonderful breakfast buffet fueled our start every morning, and the complimentary coffee and cake was the perfect welcome back from our tours!! The staff were so nice and friendly and made excellent dining recommendations that we enjoyed very much. Absolutely recommend this hotel to any discerning traveler who is looking for a top notch experience.

The hotel proactively confirmed my check-in time via WhatsApp, which was very thoughtful. Upon my arrival, the front desk staff provided me with all the essential information I needed. I loved how tidy the room was, with its beautiful Turkish-style decorations adding a charming touch. The hotel offers complimentary coffee, tea, and snacks in the restaurant throughout the day, which was perfect for someone like me who enjoys coffee at any time. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the breakfast was fantastic. My stay at this hotel was truly relaxing. Additionally, the hotel is conveniently located about a 15-minute walk from the train station, allowing me to explore the surrounding areas and discover local restaurants.

We chose this hotel because the pool area looked great and the rooms looked comfortable. Both lived up to our expectations. The hotel is up a very small laneway and a little hard to find, but very well located in Selcuk. Parking is on the street, but there's enough. Check in could not have been easier or more pleasant. Our room was very comfortable, with enough closet space etc. for our clothes, and a very nice bathroom. Breakfast was served on the poolside patio or in a modest dining room. The pool was terrific with views out over the surrounding countryside. We would definitely stay again.
