Nilya hotel is a cute little family run hotel. The breakfast is amazing, the rooms are small but pretty and clean. The location is great, walking distance to interesting sights and delicious eats. What makes this hotel special is the excellent hospitality of its owners. They went above and beyond to help our party sort out different things: they haves us free shuttle rides to and from Ephesus, they helped us contact a great and knowledgable guide, they got us a taxi to go to virgins Mary house. They lent us their backgammon and showed me and my sister Joe to play. They constantly offered us tea and coffee. I left my kid le behind and they texted me and offered me to send it on DHL at no extra cost. They are really experienced and helpful hosts. I would come back again!

Ayca, Tempe

We stayed in their suit room for 3 people. Rooms were very clean, elegantly decorated, had A/C, rain shower head in a large shower area. Healthy breakfasts were served in the garden under green canopy. The hotel is run by two families, very safe and high quality establishment. Hand carved wooden furniture everywhere, hand-woven woolen ornaments and hand painted Turkish tile artwork, miniature pictures on the walls in the rooms. Owners are very helpful from giving information about the area, calling taxis as needed, to dropping us to Ephesus city entrance, even thinking about providing us cushions for the opera night at the Ephesus antique amphitheater for the Ephesus Ballet and Opera Festival. They served us tea in the balcony when we arrived from road all tired. Location is walking distance to St. John's Basilica, Selcuk castle and Arthemis Temple (one of the ancient seven wonders site). three km. distance to Ephesus antique city. There are cafes a ND some food options around in walking distance. Definitely our stay in Selcuk for all next time!

Nice character property, on a quiet street. Very close to St John's Basilica and the Castle. 10 mins walk from the train or bus. Friendly place, nice breakfast, in a shady courtyard garden. . Really helpful to get a lift to Ephesus top entrance after breakfast. Only a white curtain at the window meant it was very light for sleeping unfortunately.

The staff was Great and hotel patio beyond beautiful with trees and plants and well lit at night. The extra touches in decorating was very nice and reflected the area nicely.

Another great choice on my recent travels. From the moment I was greeted with tea and information on the area until my last sip of coffee in the delightful courtyard, it was so enjoyable and exactly what I’d hoped for. Windows in room, slightly ajar, Arabian Jasmine fragrance permeating the air. Experienced owners are dedicated to their hospitality and managing their property very well. They even share their affiliated Turkish carpets gallery. Excellent breakfast served in the courtyard. Delightful staff. Perfect location for old town. Hope to stay again and enjoy more this wonderful place and people!!

LOVED the authentic Turkish furnishings and artwork. The courtyard is lovely, the room was very comfortable. It was a welcome immersion into the culture. No TV was fine. I would like to have been able to make coffee or tea on our own in the room itself... But - it would have been available if we'd requested. VERY nice breakfast. Helpful recommendations about Efes, And walking distance from the ruins of St. John Basilica, which was amazing!

Comfortable hotel with a great location

Perfect location; a 2-minute walk from St. John Basilica and a few minutes drive from the ancient city of Ephesus. It’s quite conveniently located in the middle of the city. Pamuçak beach is a 15-20 minute drive away. The hotel is well kept, clean, and beds are comfortable. The staff are pleasant and helpful. Three parking spots are available outside though if you have some idiot American park his car in a way that takes up two spots, it reduces the parking space available. Breakfast is pretty decent; tasty, but somewhat limited (perhaps understandable given the economic situation in Türkiye). But for comfort, location and service, this is a wonderful hotel. We had a very good stay.

Our stay at Nilya hotel was lovely. Nazmi and his team are super friendly. They even drove us to and picked us up from Ephesus, which was much appreciated. The location was excellent – it's only a few minutes walk to the main shopping area, and there's some great restaurants nearby. Highly recommend Sofas for dinner and Stairs coffee for the morning/afternoon coffee. It's also about three minutes to St John's Basilica. The included breakfast was delicious, especially the eggs! The only nitpicks would be the curtains don't do the best job of blocking out the outside hotel lights and the WiFi wasn't the best.

Hotel Nilya was my favorite stay on this trip. The hotel was tranquil and quaint. The beds were so comfortable. I absolutely love the sauna like showers that washed all my fatique away after the endless exploring of Ephesus. The host Nazmir was so helpful in making recommendations of what we should see first and where to eat. Trust his advice. We stayed here for 3 nights to see Ephesus, Pamukkale, Sirince, and House Mary. The hotel was easy to get to. Four of us took a flight from Istanbul to Izmir, then 1 hr train to Selcuk. It was a 10 min walk to hotel. Note to all travelers coming to Turkey, bring cash. Almost all restaurants, tours, transportation will ask for Liras or Euros. Some will take your credit card reluctantly.

We checked in late at night and without any hesitation he prepared us a nice meal knowing that we were probably hungry at that time. At the time of checkout which was very early in the morning, he was there to take care of all our needs. Truly a wonderful human being and an invaluable asset to the hotel!!
