    Akanthus is a beautiful, gracious hotel. Lots of people told us it was the best in Selcuk and I believe that is true.

    It was perfect.

    We recently stayed at Akanthus Hotel Ephesus, and we must say, it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The first thing we noticed was the impeccable cleanliness throughout the hotel. Every corner, from the courtyard and the lobby to the rooms, was spotless and well-maintained. The service was outstanding. The staff were incredibly friendly, attentive, and eager to help with any request, making us feel truly welcome and valued as a guest. Their professionalism and warmth added a personal touch to our stay. The ambiance of the hotel was wonderfully cozy. The room was tastefully decorated, with comfortable furnishings that made it feel like a home away from home. The atmosphere was perfect for relaxation, enhanced by the soothing, relaxing music playing softly in the background. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast. It was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Every item was freshly prepared and bursting with flavour, providing the perfect start to our day. Overall, Akanthus Hotel Ephesus offers a perfect blend of cleanliness, excellent service, coziness, and culinary delights. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable stay.

    Everything! The breakfast was delicious, beds were very comfortable and the staff was attentive down to every detail. We went on 2 all-day excursions with their driver Muharam was the best! He is a very safe driver, fun and informative, and accommodating. If you’re traveling to Selçuk, I can’t recommend the Akanthus more highly!

    This hotel was one of the highlights of our visit to Turkey! The photos don’t do it justice, the hotel is spectacular, the views, atmosphere and staff are just amazing. Parking was easy, we walked everywhere, including to the St. John’s basilica, Ephesus museum, and temple of Artemis, great restaurants walking distance and quiet at night. The breakfast in the morning was great too. This is the best hotel!

    We got off to a good start in this beautiful hotel when we got a free room upgrade! We had an amazing three nights in Selçuk in this cosy boutique hotel. The staff were helpful , knowledgeable and welcoming. The breakfast was delicious. The hotel doesn’t have a restaurant for evening meals but directed us to some excellent restaurants nearby. The beds were supremely comfortable and the room was airy and bright. Reception organised a wonderful tour for us to nearby Ephesus.

    Absolutely beautiful property. A haven after a day of sightseeing to unwind and avail of the hospitality. We were upgraded and the Manager, Soner could not have been more helpful and attentive. The breakfast was true Turkish style with a selection of freshly cooked eggs in various styles. A small boutique hotel with every attention to detail. Would stay here again in a heartbeat.

    This is a beautiful and comfortable boutique hotel, owned and run by the nicest people. It is stylish without being overly precious. Look out for the beautiful textiles used in the decor, some from Muharrem’s parents’ collection. Our room was comfortably appointed, with good quality bed linen. Breakfast is a wonderful, typically Turkish spread with all manner of fruit, greens, cheeses, olives, breads and preserves. Tea and coffee are always available, as is fresh homemade cake. Soner and Muharrem gave us good tips on where to eat, and were just very welcoming and hospitable generally. Selçuk itself is a charming little place, good to explore on foot. So glad we stayed here, and not in resort-y Kusadasi, although we did go there for an excellent meal and beautiful sunset one evening.

    Fantastic property. The attention to detail is outstanding. Muharrem takes care of everything. They offer beer and wine service, individual containers for breakfast items. Fastidiously clean. They arranged a private tour and since we had a car saved 80% off the listed price. The property has wonderful views over the rooftops by the pool. We would definitely stay here again.

    There was nothing that I didn’t like. I was traveling with family. They were in adjacent rooms and they were also very pleased.

    The property was beautiful and calm. Felt like we were in sanctuary with a pleasant courtyard with a swimming pool and a view overlooking the city. The city was not skyscrapers but red tiled roofs and palm trees. We opted to have breakfast included and it was a wonderful non American breakfast. There were egg choices, a variety of cheeses and yogurt and bread, as well as fruit. They offered American coffee as well as Turkish coffee and tea.They also kept cake on a cake platter so if you wanted a slice in the afternoon, you could easily get an afternoon snack. Also beverages were served in the courtyard by the pool, if you desired. Options included coffee, tea, wine and beer.
