Rumah tumpangan di Selcuk

I stayed for 3 nights this week and just want to state all the acclaim given in the 5 star reviews is true. I am a solo female from the Midwest in the USA beyond a certain age. I did not want to leave. This was my first stop on my first tour to Turkey. Not speaking a word of Turkish-- not even please or thank you --I was still treated so well and felt so very comfortable in this very beautiful facility. I loved Selcuk and chose this location to visit Ephesus which was easy and economical--I was so grateful I could do so without joining one of the huge tour groups (while I would not discourage anyone from seeing the huge Ephesus site--if time is limited I would skip Ephesus). Take in in Selcuk; spend time in the museum; try the different restaurants and certainly walk up to the top but most of all enjoy Anz Guesthouse, its people and the walks around it. I will forever be grateful to Harry and his son Atti (from the other reviews, I have not done well with either of their names-sorry). They booked a sleeper for me to Konya that I was unable to do myself as well as a hotel that I could not reach.. while they are not a tourist agency they have absolutely given me every reason to love the Anz Guesthouse ...

I booked a room for 2 people at Boomerang Guest House and paid around our usual price, AUD$45/28 euros a night. Dorm beds were quoted at AUD $19/night. When we arrived at the guesthouse in March 2023,  they said we had booked a dormitory room (mixed dorm) and pointed to some Turkish words on the booking confirmation which,  according to them, said we had booked a dormitory bed for each of us. That was not what was indicated when I went through the booking process, which stated I was booking a room, not a dormitory. The owner stonewalled and said we would have to pay extra to upgrade to a room of our own. That was odd, since the room I booked was the 'last one available' at the time, yet they had at least three spare private rooms. They claim that the problem stems from the fact that they only have a relationship with Expedia and something has gone wrong when they (Expedia) have shared the information with Agoda. At that point I confirmed with him that this same situation had happened before (for months!): he blamed Agoda for using the Turkish words to describe the room.  I said that if this was a situation which had misled people before,  then he needed to be the one to ensure it was fixed. He could easily contact guests beforehand to let them know,  in English,  their reservation was for a dormitory,  until the booking process was fixed. But never did. I contacted him prior to arrival about the check in time but he did not respond (He received the message on WhatsApp via his brother: he made the excuse that the phone number on Agoda is out of date and doesn't go directly to him). Of course, the whole excuse was simply deflection: blame some other third party and avoid accountability. Coincidentally, another person arrived as we were at reception who had experienced the exact same situation. She had booked what she thought was a room for her and her traveling companion but the two young girls were told they were sleeping downstairs in a dormitory with men. Her traveling companion left immediately and the Malaysian girl was left by herself. She booked through Agoda and also felt assured she had booked a private  room.  By then I could see a pattern emerging and thought this could be a scam. Sell a room for a normal price,  then charge more on arrival,  pointing to some Turkish words on the booking which talked about it being a dormitory that we'd unsuspectingly signed up for. When I questioned the owner why the only indication it was a dormitory was written in Turkish,  he said he didn't know and again put the blame on Agoda. I said that given people had been misled even before our arrival,  it was his responsibility to ensure changes to the wording were made. What made it even more suspicious was that when I took him through the process I undertook to make the booking on the Agoda app,  not only did I show him it clearly talked about booking a room, not a bed and no mention of a dormitory,  there were no dorm pictures shown AND even tonight as

Exceptional. This is the best place to stay in the region. Villa Dreams was my home base for exploring Efes (Ephesus), the house of Mary, the temple of Artemis, and more. Booking online, I wasn’t sure what to expect. I arrived via train from the Izmir airport and was met at the station by the owner, who drove me to the hotel personally. I was offered my choice of rooms and chose one at the top of the house with a balcony with a breathtaking view, including the town, the castle, olive farms, and more. The room itself was clean, comfortable, and quiet (and excellent water pressure in the shower, a pleasant and unexpected bonus) and the service was beyond attentive. Drinks are available onsite and any sort of food you’d like can be arranged. It was lovely to relax on the large, shared terrace overlooking the pool, under a ceiling of grape vines. The breakfast offered is one of the best in Türkiye, and includes homemade spreads, family recipes, and home-grown and home-preserved olives. Everything is delicious and, of course, the portions are generous. In exploring the sights in the region, the Villa Dreams arranged for a driver for the day as I had chosen not to rent a car. The driver was just as courteous, professional, and excellent as the hotel. Selcuk and Villa Dreams are a nice “home base” to explore the region. In addition to the really great Ephesus museum, the town’s orange-tree-lined streets have excellent restaurants and several markets for groceries or sundries. Walking through the town, I was welcomed to sit with some of the older men playing okey and checkers, which was a special experience. Selcuk is an easy ride to nearby Kuşadası, where I took a short ferry ride to the Greek island of Samos for a day, and it is very near to the charming town of Sirince. Villa Dreams is something special, from its hilltop location to its personal and attentive service. It is a place I hope to return to, and I can’t recommend it enough.

I stayed here 2 nights on an Intrepid tour. The room was good, no issues. Breakfast was served in the rooftop patio which was nice. The rooftop was also a good place to hang out at night. I would stay here again.

We have been here for 2 nights (leaving today unfortunately), and we have been SOOO pleased with our choice. The hotel is in a prime area for seeing many sites here. It's not too far to drive to Ephesus. The Ephesus Museum, the castle, and the Basilica of St John are all within 5 minutes walking distance from here. There so so many places to check out for food as well. The hotel itself is a renovated old home with a nice courtyard. We stayed in a family room on the 2nd floor. It's very comfortable (the smaller bed is a bit firm but fine). The while place is clean and feels like you are just in a home, not a hotel. The staff are so very lovely. We were super happy with the large breakfast included! If you leave breakfast hungry, it's your own fault. So much fresh local food. The owner is super helpful. I'd absolutely recommend staying here.

We really wish we could have stayed longer. We had only two nights at the Amazon Antique Hotel and would have loved to stay a week. We had a large family room with a private patio. We were only four people, but could have easily welcomed two more people to stay with us in the ample room. The host is very knowledgeable about the area and very helpful. We arrived very late -- much later than expected -- and the host and his colleague waited to welcome us. They also helped arrange for transport for us from Cesme to the hotel. At the hotel, I especially liked the lending library of regional guides, books and pamphlets in the common area. The garden is a lovely place to sit and relax. The location of the hotel is excellent for going to Ephesus, restaurants and the train station. The host drove us to the entrance of Ephesus out of extreme kindness, and we walked comfortably back to the hotel in the evening. It's not too far to walk. If I'm every in Selcuk again, I would be happy to stay at the Amazon Antique Hotel. It's not fancy, but it's very comfortable.

We checked in on Friday evening. The dinner is not included to the room rate but it is fine we had a nice experience, the food was delicious. Our room was on where the pool was, and located on the upper floor. The room was clean. On Saturday morning we had breakfast and it was good as well. We found out that the hotel part is rented and operated by some other people. In the afternoon we had the wine tasting which was again enjoyable. During the tasting we saw a police car and then when we asked about the situation we were informed by the waiter that some afgan refugees were seen in hotel area where our room was located. This was not a nice feeling for us and we felt a bit uncomfortable but not so suprised because it is not a gated community. At night when we returned from dinner we entered our room and as soon as we turned on the lights we saw 3 bats. We went crazy! Called the reception asap but it took minutes for someone to come to check the room. And when he came in he has informed that bat was seen in another room before which is totally not my problem!!! Then we asked for another room and again it tooks minutes for him to find the lady who deals with the reservations. Then he told us that they can find a room in one of their hotels in Selcuk-İzmir. We did not accept it and we found a place for ourselves in DoubleTree Hilton. When we were checking out the lady asked us to pay for 2 nights (we were going to stay for 2 nights) and of course we did not accept it and paid only for 1 night and left! They did not even apologize for the situation! It was very unprofessional! I will never again stay in this hotel and will never recommend it to my friends! If you want to go and taste the wine and have dinner that’s OK because we were tokd that the real owners of the YediBilgeler are responsible for those services! It was again very rude of the lady who is at the reception to ask for 2 nights fare and not even apologize for once!

Çok sevimli, çok güzel, çok sevdik orayı, kahvaltısı da çok iyiydi. Tavsiye ederiz.

Great place! Every attraction in Selçuk is within walking distance so its a good base. I stayed in the female dorms - very cosy and warm even during the winter season. Although I had to leave early due to other priorities, i truly enjoyed my time there. Definitely recommend
