Selcuk Hotels with Swimming Pools

We travel quite a bit and can tell you that Akanthus was one of the best experiences we have ever had, anywhere, in a locally owned and operated boutique-style hotel. The owners (two very kind brothers) and the staff were hospitable and genuinely committed to professional excellence. They have thought of virtually every detail to make their guests have a welcome and comfortable experience. The rooms are nicely decorated and outfitted for modern travelers... and, most importantly, CLEAN. As we were staying for more than a week, we wiped the drawers before putting our things in them... and we found them already completely clean. No negative surprises. Have you ever looked a beautiful green hillside (like in Scotland) and when you get closer you find weeds and thistles? In other words, something that looks good in the photos and then when you get there it is not what you expected. Not this place... Akanthus lives up to expectations. In fact, it _exceeded_ our expectations. Their warm and helpful staff went the ”extra mile” to make sure we had what we needed. As we know, this side of heaven nothing will ever be perfect. That is why I do not write that it was perfect. It was, however, truly professionally excellent. Akanthus is an oasis for all its guests, from check-in to the nightly cake and warm drink, to the daily healthy breakfast and coffee, to the service throughout the day. Their small pool was a welcome place to cool off during hot summer days. We give our highest recommendation to whomever is reading this. Stay here when you go to Ephesus.

Lovely small hotel out of noise of the city, 11 km from Kusadasi but easy to go by bus. Some small houses for 4 -6 rooms. You need to walk 3-4 minutes to the main building, but walking along the vines is nice ) Cosy clean rooms, with water, teapot. Good but standard breakfast, and perfect fine dining restaurant also here for the evening. In the restaurant there is a big window and see what is going on in the winery 7 Bilgeler, during vintage worked intensively every day...

The hotel has sandy beaches, but the beaches and seawater are average. The swimming pool is good. More than 80% of the hotel's guests are seniors. Staying in the hotel for two nights seems to be living in a nursing home! The bathroom in the guest room was smelly, and the spray head was not easy to use. I called the front desk for two toothbrushes and didn't deliver it until I checked out. There are many buffets, but too few are suitable for Chinese stomachs.

The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are large and stylishly decorated. The location is opposite the castle, and there are many places to eat around. The hotel is about a 10-minute walk from the Selcuk bus, which is very convenient. After we visited Ephesus, we walked 3 kilometers back to the hotel. It only takes about 15 minutes to walk to the temple ruins.

The owner is very friendly and friendly, very good English, very gentleman! Every little detail of the hotel is arranged with great care. Doors, stairs, bedsides, windows, floors, etc., all are solid wood. I really like the feeling of walking barefoot on the clean solid wood floor of the room. There are not many guests staying, but the hotel is still very prepared to prepare breakfast for several of us. It was supposed to be after 14:00 on the same day, but we arrived at the hotel at 9:00 in the morning, and the owner did not say that we arranged the early check-in. I regret that I only arranged for one night in Selcuk. Reluctant to leave this peaceful and quiet town, reluctant to leave the gentleman's warm hotel uncle.

The favorite hotel for this trip to Turkey. The hotel is located in a secluded alley, about7-8 minutes walk from Selchuk Railway Station, not far from the main street. The hotel has a small courtyard, which looks like a private house of a large family in the past. The courtyard door is two wooden doors. There are vine green plants on the fences on both sides of the courtyard door and two clusters of pink and purple flowers are just out, which makes people shine. There is a small swimming pool in the courtyard, where guests can play in the water to cool down and spend leisurely vacation time. The interior decoration of the hotel is retro style. The tables and chairs, windows and cabinets in the room are also simple and retro style. It feels very comfortable. It really matches the charm of the ancient city of Selcuk. The breakfast was great, all kinds of cheese, jam, fruit and bread were fresh. The staff service is very warm and professional. If you have the opportunity to go to Selchuk again, you still want to stay at this hotel.

這個民宿在塞爾丘克的一個山坡上，可以說基本上到山坡的最上邊了，最後一點路要陡一些。從山坡下來就是火車站，也是市中心，走路上山坡需要10分鐘，下山坡需要8分鐘左右。塞爾丘克小鎮不大，聖約翰教堂（城堡）、考古博物館、神廟遺址等都在走路能到的範圍內，幾分鐘就能到了。以弗所遺址距離稍微遠一點，也是更值得去探索的地方，可以乘坐迷你巴士或通過電話在出租車站叫出租車。民俗的兩位夥計，Meili和Okayy，兩位帥哥服務意識都好，Meili熱情，Okayy周到，力所能及的讓客人感到舒適和方便。Meili熱情的接待了我們，很快拉近了我們的距離。Okayy兩次開車送我們到火車站附近，節省了我們不少體力和時間，非常感謝他們的服務。民俗的早餐非常好，雖然簡單，但很用心，餐廳布置的溫馨友好，早上非常涼爽，用餐的心情愉快。房間雖然不大，但是景觀超級棒，落日時看到遠處的海岸、城堡，以及塞爾丘克全鎮。遠處的一個小機場不時有飛機起降，這些夢幻般的景緻，值得那一段小小山坡的困難。另外，鎮上的人民和藹可親，小孩子們熱情大方，老人們閑適，喝茶玩牌，非常愜意的地方。這次時間太緊，下次多待幾天。希望在浴室放一塊防滑墊就更加完美了，這是一點小小的建議。 This guesthouse is located on a hillside in Selcuk, almost at the top of the slope, with the last part of the road being a bit steep. Coming down the hill, you’ll find the train station, which is also the city center. It takes about 10 minutes to walk up the hill and about 8 minutes to walk down. Selcuk is a small town, and attractions like the St. John’s Church (Castle), Archaeological Museum, and Temple Ruins are all within walking distance, just a few minutes away. Ephesus Ruins are a bit further away, but they are definitely worth exploring. You can take a mini bus or call a taxi from the taxi stand. The two hosts of the guesthouse, Meili and Okayy, are both very service-oriented. Meili is enthusiastic, and Okayy is considerate, making sure guests feel comfortable and convenient. Meili warmly welcomed us and quickly became close to us. Okayy drove us to the train station twice, saving us a lot of energy and time. We are very grateful for their service. The guesthouse’s breakfast is excellent. Although simple, it is prepared with care. The restaurant is cozy and friendly, and the mornings are pleasantly cool, creating a delightful atmosphere for dining. The rooms may not be large, but the view is superb. During sunset, you can see the distant coastline, the castle, and the entire town of Selcuk. There is a small airport in the distance, and occasionally planes take off and land, adding to the dreamlike scenery. It is worth facing the difficulties of that little slope for such breathtaking views. Additionally, the people in town are kind and friendly, the children are warm and generous, and the elderly live a leisurely life, enjoying tea and playing cards. It is a very relaxing and pleasant place. Unfortunately, we had limited time this visit, but we will definitely stay longer next time. It would be perfect if they could place an anti-slip mat in the bathroom. This is just a small suggestion.

I really don't have anything bad to say about this place. It's in a beautiful area with a great view of the mountain and in the evenings you have a great view of the sunset over the town. The hotel is beautiful and spotlessly clean. The family who own it are very friendly and welcoming. I had breakfast there and it was lovely. It's great value for money. It's 2 or 3km outside the town but the owner was very helpful with arranging transport so the distance was never a problem. I highly reccommend it.

One of the cleanest hotels we have stayed in ,especially if a drink was spilled or food dropped the staff was there cleaning quickly . The staff are all pleasant . The water park is great for all ages ,if your able & the pool is clean but water is cold ,yes it was October and the indoor lounge & bar nice Now the not so good part - Dining was not so good with no warm plates so this resulted in your warm food cooling off very quickly , if you got hot food it was a bit better. What was very off putting was the outside dining due to the many wild cats walking around in the outside dining area , some climbing on the dining chairs attempting to get food off the tables, it doesn’t help when people encourage them , this is not hygienic at all and its the reason we will not return to this hotel.
