Hotel was beautiful, staff wonderful, owner is excellent and very friendly. If you’re thinking of booking this place, just do it!

very good breakfast, complimentary cake, coffee and tea throughout the day. plastic-free, water comes in glass bottles and water jars available all day. an oasis in proximity to key sites and restaurants!

Everything at this stunning boutique hotel has been carefully thought out. I loved the outdoor pool area with delightful views, Turkish towels and to spend the late afternoons having a glass of wine and a cheese platter whilst reading a book and listening to soft music. I loved the delicious breakfast in the morning with fresh local ingredients. I loved how comfortable and beautiful the rooms were, with huge beds, fluffy pillows, beautiful decor and furnishings.

I loved every inch of the hotel.

We truly enjoy our stay at this cosy place ! Everyone was extremely nice and helpful. The breakfast was very nice and lots of food variety🥰. Thank you so much for a beautiful stay!

Nothing

Beautiful, quiet, clean boutique hotel. Breakfasts were delicious. Lovely pool in the courtyard. Room was well appointed, plenty of closet space. Staff was very pleasant, professional and accommodating. A special thanks to Soner and Murat who were helpful and informative on any request and who woke up to say goodbye and help with luggage for our 3am car to the airport. I highly recommend.

Delightful boutique hotel nestled on a quiet street

We liked everything!

We loved everything about this hotel. Good breakfast, lovely pool, great position. The room was spacious and immaculately clean. Run by the most wonderful people. We wanted to stay for longer.

Very good breakfast excellent staff, very helpful would come again

Dinner suggestion was not as good as we thought

As you arrive at the unpresumptious wooden door of Akanthus Hotel Ephesos, in a charming narrow street of Selçuk Turkey, nothing will give away what you are about to experience. When you open the door, you not only step into a beautiful courtyard with pergolas, a small swimmingpool, and various little seeting areas, you step into a breathtaking piece of ancient Turkish history.  This small family owned boutique hotel is built with a rare love for Turkish architectural tradition and an exceptional eye for details both in the interior and the exterior designs, and the result is stunning. The rooms are very spacious with lots of light and tastefully decorated and the bathrooms are beautiful. Beds are comfortable, air condition working impeccably and no noise can be heard from anywhere. Breakfast buffet is delicious with fresh food and a variety of Turkish homemade delicacies and several choices of eggs cooked and served on demand, and can be enjoyed either in the cozy dining room or in the courtyard. Coffee, Turkish tea and fresh homemade cake is complimentary available all day. Several interesting and historical sights are within walking distance and the owner and staff is more than happy to give you suggestions and arrange guided tours if you prefer that.  The staff and owner are very professional, always smiling, friendly accommodating, and attentive to your needs without being intrusive or pushy. It is a place where you immediately feel safe and at home. I can in good conscience say that this is the best hotel I have ever been to, and I have been to a lot around the world. A British idiom says "The world is your oyster" In my opinion the Akanthus Hotel is one of the rare pearls you are lucky to find.

I

it was near the town centre ~ the bus station, the ephesus museum. walking distance from the temple of artemis and the basilica of st. john.

i loved everything about it.

Makes you feel welcome and at home, unlimited turkish tea, very friendly

For my wife and I this hotel was perfect. The owners and staff were incredibly obliging. Most importantly the bed was very comfortable, not something you find often in Turkey. The breakfast was really good which you had sat in a very private, shaded courtyard, very chilled atmosphere. Location could not have been better for visiting all the sites around Selcuk, most of which are within walking distance.

There really was nothing you could find fault with. The hotel does not serve meals in the evening but that is really not a problem as there are some quite good restaurants within walking distance as you are literally five minutes from the town centre.

A beautiful boutique Hotel in the quiet part of the city and yet a few min walk away to the Train station., Very friendly staffs and owner, makes you feel at home that extended my stay for another 2 nights, the breakfast was the best I had during my stay in Turkey, so fresh and yummy. I would recommend this place to anyone and will be back when i’m in Seljuck

We stayed for 3 nights at the Akanthus while visiting Ephesus and other sites in the area and wished we could have stayed longer. The property is a quiet oasis, well designed and meticulously cared for. The rooms had local character but at the same time felt very new and comfortable. And the common pool area was a delight to relax in after a day of sightseeing. The location was perfect, within walking distance of most sites and restaurants in town but on a small alley away from the noise and traffic. Breakfast was a great mix of Turkish dishes, fruit, yogurt, and pastries. To top it all off the employees were incredibly friendly and helpful. Thanks to Arda, Efe and the rest of the staff for an amazing stay.

Liked everything

Excellent breakfast and ideal location in Selcuk

wifi is weak, I think probably because of the stone walls

I'm so happy I booked Akanthus. Everything was perfect, from the location and the charming setting to the friendly and helpful staff and a fabulous breakfast too. The all-day coffee and tea with fresh cake was a lovely touch too.

I cannot think of a single thing that I didn't like or find any fault with Akanthus Hotel. It rates as one of my all-time best stays in Turkey.

very clean, very nice staff

This is a great hotel near Ephesus. The staff was very helpful. The owner of the hotel was very nice and was interesting to talk to. He recommended nearby sites, beside Ephesus, that I would have missed.

The staff were very friendly. Beautiful property and the view from our rooms was gorgeous.

The villa is beautifully decorated, the gardens, the rooms, the breakfast area, all is very welcoming! The owner and staff paid close attention to our needs! we couldn’t ask for better service! Besides is so close to Ephesus and the town is a delight! We highly recommend this place!

Staff were attentive and helpful. Our room was amazing, quiet comfortable and everything you could want after spending the day seeing the sites around town.

Nothing, it was a great stay

I have reviewed alot of hotels and few if any are as good as this one. Its hard to do it justice with a few lines here. The decor is beautiful, the atmosphere is serene, the staff are wonderful, breakfast is perfect. It's suitable for solo travellers couples and friends. Look no further if visiting ephasus. There is a tree lined walk from the hotel. Forget a taxi, its a lovely walk.

There is nothing bad or even slightly bad about this hotel. I will definitely come back to stay

everything! Arda kindly upgraded the room for us with a very nice view. the hotel is nicely decorated in a modern style but also with a lot of local characteristics such as the ceramics and the carpets. bed is comfy. the pool is beautiful(sadly too cold for this season) and you can sit by the poolside to enjoy the sunset. good restaurants in 5min walk.

nothing.

A very nice small hotel which we used while visiting the Roman ruins at nearby Ephesus.The owner and his partner were friendly and helpful.The Hotel served a cooked breakfast but no evening meal although there were restaurants within walking distance in the town.The room was comfortable.

Nothing really in a small hotel of this type which was very reasonable in price.

The hotel is very beautiful and clean, the staff is friendly and helpful. The host is enthusiastic. I wish to stay more days here.

the location is very near to the Ephesus ancient city and the room is clean and cozy!

it’s super clean and cozy
